Ill have to pull off some James Bond, Secret Agent Sniper shot of her...
My confession: Missing ONE question too many on my psych nursing final. Because of that, I have to wait ONE year to take that class OVER. 
Nothing today, but the day isn't over yet.
My son did manage to leave his keys in the back door of my van this morning, but I'm not taking the blame for that one. We had driven 40 miles before someone flagged us down and let us know.
Went chasing an odd noise...found it...bad pulley on the Escort. Had one on the parts car...one bolt..10 minutes. I figured, While I am Here........
Should have the head back on by Monday.

Sounds like a plan to me!

I didn't get that far, but I've put the two components together without the pilot bushing.
Today, I'm ok so far. If I can expand the timeline out to the past 5 months or so, I could tell you what may the worst mistake I've made in a long time.

We'll wait.
Today was when I discovered that I did something completely stupid last year.
Sometime around Feb. of last year I was fabricating motor mounts for my S52 E30 and noticed I could drop the motor an inch and move it rearward about the same and still fit a piece of paper between the steering rack and the oil pan. So... I did. FFWD to today, where I have a new E36 rack to install. I went to put it in, with the precisely machined aluminum spacers I made last weekend and damn if it won't fit. The E36 rack is almost .75 in diameter larger than the E30 rack. DOH!
I guess I'm making spacers for the motor mounts, egging the transmission mount holes, repositioning the exhaust and slipping the 2 pc driveshaft for want of about .380 of clearance in 2 directions. So much for the 30 min rack swap followed by St Patty's Day ham, cabbage and ale.

So between now and, say, Wednesday, I have to eat 2 avocados, 2 mangosteens, one mango, five tomatoes, a small-ish packet of tomatillos, and an entire kilo of kiwis. I consider it a challenge. (I suppose I could ~*shudder*~ refrigerate some of it while I'm away, but that's just wrong!)That's easy man! Sounds yummy. I have a great avacado recipe for you: Cut open one avacado, remove pit. Eat with spoon.
But first slice knife through every which way, squirt w/lime juice, sprinkle w/salt. Much mo better that way
I think I could break the InTraWeB on this thread

Once slid a B20 into a 75 240, was very happy with how simply the cluch lined up, got it mostly buttoned up, when I saw the clutch sitting on my bench.
Luckily, at the time, I could have a B20 out of a Volvo in about 30 minutes.
Took a Zyrtek then had a a couple rum and cokes. just woke up and asked SWMBO if she's turned the clocks ahead. Not quite Sunday yet?
somehow I made it through today without anything that stands out.
I got home one day a couple months ago and realized I didn't put a hose clamp back on the boot for a tie rod end though.
Why do realizations always happen 5 hours after the time you could have rectified the situation?
Just yesterday I realized that one of the Discover envelopes I usually just shred expecting them to be more "convenience checks" was really the $50 Lowes gift card I was getting for my rewards bonus...
Crap.
I just ransacked the whole kitchen looking for the source of some surprise mouse turds on my counter. I've lived four years in this apartment and have never seen ANY evidence of mice or critters in here before. Spent the better part of an hour taking everything out of my cupboards and looking for where the heck they could have gotten in.
...then I remembered I cooked black rice yesterday. Yep, "turds" were actually a few grains I'd spilt on the counter when serving.
Fffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
Guy #1: Hey, this black rice is really good!
Guy #2: Um. That's not black rice.
A few weeks back I broke a rib while karting. Sooooo...I haven't been sleeping as well as I should.
Saturday I got up early and tried to move some lumber.
But I'm still not 100% due to lack of proper sleep (the rib keeps waking me up).
Sooooo......I dropped a heavy beam on my feet and broke both of my big toes (right in 3 places and left in 16 places).

Taint broke. Tis crushed.
There are rookie mistakes and mistakes only an experienced person can make. Usually the "expert" mistakes are a lot dumber.
That was me today. I won't elaborate beyond that because it happened at work and I feel like a total tool - like a "my job 101" level thing that I totally missed.
