We already had to get the boy's Freshman schedule redone. Good thing the people at the HS still remember my Mom (taught there for 27 years, retired in 2007) and recognize my son's last name. Makes things easier.

stopped and helped a guy out on the way home, he jumped the curb in his lexus, causing the battery to jump out of the tray (no battery hold down) and broke the + terminal in half just under the clamp, and some how it started arcing on the metal PS reservoir, and burned a hole through his belt. So i took him to Walmart and AZ to get a battery and a belt and then i put them on for him. Made an easy 40 bucks for about an hour of my time :o
