New Truck

I am driving my new 2006 Chevy Colorado. I got it when I was in Memphis this past weekend, and I drove it back to Tullahoma when I came back. We still haven't received any type of invoice or request for payment, so I'm driving somebody else's truck (with their permission, of course). I'm really liking the truck. It's a little less powerful (5 cylinder engine vs. 6, and a somewhat bigger vehicle), but still has plenty. It has a built-in CD player, which is nice, but I had a 6-CD changer that I had added to my old truck, so this is actually a step back in that respect. But the new care smell makes up for anything like that.

My trip home was quite good. I originally had a meeting Friday afternoon, so I was planning to leave after that. Then, the meeting got moved to Wednesday afternoon, so I left Friday morning and drove back to Tullahoma Tuesday afternoon. Then, my Wednesday meeting got moved to Friday afternoon. As of now, that's still on the schedule.

Among other things while home, I got a chance to play a round of disc golf Tuesday morning with Lee. I kept score, but didn't add up the strokes. I had a pretty good round overall, but had a couple of bad holes probably sent my score higher than I'd like. Not bad for the first round I've played in forever.

I finally signed up for my summer classes, with fall registration still not immediate enough to be important to anyone but me. I'll be essentially done with my explicit requirements by the end of fall. Everything else I would take would be considered electives, also known as the easiest classes I can find.

My office has been officially reassigned. I'm no longer in the bullpen. The new office is in the main academic building, and I share it with a new student. Not sure all the implications of that. I like being in the main building, but you can never predict sharing an office with someone. For having been here a semester, things sure aren't settled.

Something is happening with the CBU site. It doesn't seem like it's just the student sites, but that doesn't mean that they're not taking the sites down. I don't guess that bothers anybody but me, but it still has a lot of useful links for me. Maybe it's not gone. Maybe it's just a temporary incompetence. More tomorrow.
