Got somewhat bad about this writing thing when people were here. Must be that Red Alert 2 syndrome, or something.<\/p>\n
Anyway, it’s back to the normal life of Berck today. Nothing exciting in the mail… My car is still in pieces, and my computer is in shambles.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Dad just thought he’d let me know that there wasn’t a chance that I’d get my differential on Monday. His reasoning? “It’s an automotive repair. This means it will be late and overbudget.”<\/p>\n

“You won’t get it back Monday.”<\/p>\n
Sure enough, on Monday, I found a message on my answering machine from Russ at Roswell Mazda. “Berck, this is Russ.. It seems we’ve come up short a few bearings… you should have it by Wednesday, though.”<\/p>\n
