Busy Weekend!
If I get half of the stuff I plan to do done, this will turn out to be a busy weekend. Thus this week's post will be fairly short.
Last evening and earlier this morning I finished up the latest issue (May) of the REAR ENGINE REVIEW, the newsletter for the Inland Northwest Corvair Club. I've e-mailed it out to all those that get it that way. As I work on this post, the last page of the hard copy version is being printed. Then I'll have to assemble the six pages (three sheets) that make up each of the thirty plus copies and get them ready to mail.
While I'm thinking of it, I know that some of you that I send the RER to also read this. But if any others "out there" reading this LJ that would like to take a gander at the newsletter, let me know. You can e-mail me at daveeva@comcast.net I'll reply and attach a copy of the newsletter. I think I did everything right this time, so the e-version should exactly match the printed version. The only difference is that I usually print the cover on colored paper. This month's cover is in bright yellow.
My one big project for the week end is to get away from the computer, get outside and see what I can do to get "Tim" running. "He" is my 1962 Corvair Rampside pickup. Had it running a couple of summers ago. "He" started running rough and I send for a few parts. Weather and other things got in the way and I've never gotten around to doing anything. I'm thinking that all "he" needs is a good tune up.
Tonight is Jessica's senior prom. While she's gone, I'd thought to take Eva to dinner, sort of a Mother's Day Eve celebration. But I've since found out that one or the both of us might end up playing chauffer for Jessica and her friends for at least a part of the evening.
The last page has finished printing, so I should end this and get on with assembling the newsletter. Hopefully I can get that done and get it to the post office before it closes this afternoon.
I usually try to keep everyone appraised of what I'm currently reading. Right now I'm reading 16 X MOM: A Mastery of Motherhood, by Barbara Cagle. I'm sure I've mentioned before that she was the president of Spokane Authors and Self-Publishers (SASP www.spokaneauthors.org) before me. More info about her book can be found on her web-site at www.barbaracagle.com
Well, time to get busy!
