Well, the wife's car needs an e-check this year, so I'll probably knock that out first. Then maybe hit the range if the weather stays away, followed by a trip to a local bookstore or two, and maybe a couple other shops that I enjoy.What are your plans with the early dismissal?Even less, since I actually logged in at 5:51, I'll be done at 9:51.It'll go by quickly.

Middle kid stayed home sick today with a bit of a cold, the youngest has tryouts for the volleyball team after school and the oldest has her first day of senior privilege and is going to her friend's house after school, so pickup will be delayed today, which is nice.

My second guess was about trying to get more vowels. Surprised the hell out of me when it was the solution.
Looking at yours, I'd have still got it in two or three using my usual tactics, but I can't explain why right now without spoiling.

The navigation on my minivan has been inaccurate for some time now. Apparently, Chrysler no longer supports the UConnect system (the infotainment system that came with the car back in 2017). I read something about files that I could download to a thumbdrive and then upload into the car. Where the heck are my USB drives when I need them? So I went to the computer store to buy a battery for my key fob and a thumbdrive. Mission is almost accomplished.Now THAT sounds like work!
