Great Sports Night

There were two big games last night that we split TV time watching. The first one was Austin's game against Ball State University. They kicked butt again (52-20) and went to 9-0 on the season. They are in the driver's seat for a great bowl game, probably one to be played on New Year's Eve. Somehow, we are going to that game wherever it is played. What a thrill to be part of Austin's Senior year and final one playing football for Western Michigan University.

The second game was between the Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs in the World Series. The Cubs kicked butt in that game and have taken the Series to a seventh game which will be played tonight in Cleveland. It will be fun to watch that game as the Cubs haven't won the Series in 108 years. That is an incredible streak. In fact, even the Indians haven't won in 68 years which makes tonight's outcome special for them also. With all the marbles on the table, it will be winner take all tonight.

I have an appointment this morning to take the truck in for service. The two problems that need to be fixed are ones that shouldn't occur with this new vehicle. The instrument panel lights go out - for no reason - while driving, and they suddenly come on again after about 15 minutes of down time. The other one is an engine problem that I am told is known problem The engine runs rough and with tapping noises while accelerating between 50-60 mph. Evidently, there is a "reset" that needs to be done on the diesel engine to fix that problem. I hope that both of those situations are fixed today. If not, I will be pursuing "Lemon" avenues to get rid of the truck. I hope it doesn't come down to that.

Finally, Josie begins work today for her winter season. I'm sure she will be welcomed with open arms as her friends and coworkers have been looking forward to this day...
