Argh!

The forecast for Colorado Springs:

This Afternoon: Periods of snow with widespread blowing snow. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 29. Windy, with a north wind between 25 and 35 mph, with gusts as high as 50 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 12 to 18 inches possible.

And another foot tonight! That’s a lot more snow than I’ve ever seen. And w’ere gonna miss it. Argh!

The car works!

Amazingly, the car went back together without too many left over parts yesterday afternoon. It appears to be working just fine, which is something of a welcome relief. Unfortunately, I’m not totally convinced that I didn’t screw something up that will show up a couple hundred miles down the road, but there’s not much I can do about that. Joanna’s been busy washing and waxing it even.

The current plan is to leave Monday morning for Knoxville, spend a couple days there, then head on to Mobile in time for Jesus Day. After that, we’ll progress in a southerly direction to that lovely wasteland my dear mother has chosen to call home. Maybe we’ll put the top down or something.
