Almost done!
Apr. 30th, 2002 07:59 pmIt's about a minute to quitting time as I write this, but since Alex K. has elected to stay the 3 hours past his appointed quitting time in order to QC the radiogram translations that have been pouring from my keyboard since my arrival - and especially since he is checking the last two I've finished a few minutes ago - I can't very well get up and leave, can I?
I am tired beyond comprehension.
* * * On the way in to work today, I stopped by the local courthouse to see about renewing the van's registration, which runs out today.
I was encouraged by the fast-moving line of supplicants at the motor vehicle department, but fell disappointingly short in the cash department, as a 30-day temporary registration extension (which is what I need, seeing as how we're going to register the car in Colorado as soon as I get back) costs $25 cash. I could only scrape up $22, plus a couple of dollars of "Miyako money" (coupons for a local Japanese eatery). Time was short, so I opted to return in a day or so.
One happy side note to this experience was finding my PRETEC DC530 camera/MP3 player, albeit in the glove compartment of the van. There have been several well-and-truly hot days down here that the unit has spent (along with a 128-MB Flash Card) in that compartment.
During a brief break in the course of the day, I extracted the Flash Card from the PRETEC and examined its contents, which appear to be fine and none the worse for wear.
* * * Alex seems to be about finished with his QC, so I'm going to cut this post short and get ready to blow out of here.
Cheers...
