Yesterday was a long day. I started out by walking two miles down the hill to catch the 5:45 bus to the train. That went well, and I ended up chatting with all of the folks on the bus. Then, I arrived at the train station, and chatted with another professor there, and throughout the train ride to Belen. In Belen, I got on the shuttle and did update a few of my blogs.
My plan was to drive back and forth to Magdalena several times. I intended to tutor all morning, turn around and return to NMT for a meeting, then drive back to Magdalena to do after school tutoring, then turn around and drive back to Rio Rancho. Instead, I got in the Malibu and noticed that it smelled a little like burning plastic. I figured a bag or something had blown under the car, and once I got rolling, I didn’t notice it any more. When I arrived in Magdalena and stopped moving, the smell came back, as did a bunch of white smoke from under the hood. Turns out, one of the heater hoses had failed, and needed to be replaced.
I worked for a little while at Magdalena, but then had the car towed and rode with the tow truck driver back to Socorro. Then, I walked two miles to campus, where I was on time for my meeting.
I took the shuttle and train home, knocked out an Upwork project and updated my NaNoWriMo project. I also met JoAnna and we had dinner, (and I did some more writing) at the Flying Star.
Thank you for reading my post.
