100K? Of course that just happened…

So last week, my car turned over at 100,000 miles. I even tried to take a picture. But that’s hard when you’re driving 45 miles an hour in rush hour traffic. This was Thursday. On Friday, as I left school, and with my odometer reading 100.036 K, my car wouldn’t start. Rather, the ignition wouldn’t turn. I called Olson, resident guy who knows stuff, and we were unable to solve the problem. So instead of working out, and rocking out on Guitar Hero, I got to stay at school for an extra two hours. (Of course that just happened!) It turns out that my key has been tearing up the inside of my ignition cylinder thingamabob, mostly because I was jamming it in and ripping it out in my rush to eat, sleep, or teach young children. Lesson 1) Relax when starting and stopping the car. Lesson 2) See lesson 1, lest you want to spend $250 on a new ignition system. Not the best way to start off my three day weekend of skiing and fun.
I picked up the car on Monday, and thanks to attentive mechanics, they also fixed my tail light malfunction (”You have a tail light out.”) because it was under a recall. So now not only can I turn my car on, but others can see me.
Lame post.
Tomorrow’s on my first-ever experience with downhill skis. Every one survived, except my pride.
Hasta luego.
