Broken car, unfinished gaming board and off to the middle of Mexico. This has been a very different week, it started with work telling me to get ready to fly to Mexico at a customers site. Two day travel and six days on site they tell me.....Right! I've heard that before! At least they didn't wait to Monday to tell me I'm leaving the next day.
It really sucks that next week is the week I'm going, because Darcy is done with her mat leave and Monday is her first day back. I really wanted to help her out with her first week, at least I've got Monday.
And the bloody car! I noticed on Thursday that you brakes on the car didn't feel right. It would stop, but I had to push the peddle all the way down. I called the mechanic on Friday morning to see if they can look into it. By late afternoon I get a call and they tell me that the master cylinder for the brakes needs to be replaced. I can fix machines that make cars, but the cars them self, bahh and what he hell is a master cylinder for a brake assembly. It's over six hundred bucks for the part alone and they didn't have any in stock. So on Monday, it's going to be a mad scramble to get the girls to the baby sitter, Darcy to work and my ass to work.
Fun fun fun!
I also got a chance to work on my portable gaming surface. I have the base coat down and some kitty litter for texture. I'll find out tomorrow it the glue did a good job with sealing the surface so that I can paint it without the litter following the brush or the roller.
I'll be posting some picks of the board some time next week I hope, once I get back from Mexico.
If I'm back come Wednesday of next week, this would be the first time work has ever been right about my travel arrangements.
Here's hoping.

It worked out ok today, even if you had to do all the running around. We'll miss you!
