Phone call from my dad yesterday.  7 M-Bs on his truck, one Chrysler.  He was to deliver the Chrysler to a dealer in Michigan, then go to a Daimler-Chrysler facility near Lansing to pick up something listed on his invoices only as "2008 Prototype."  Size and weight were listed, and we think he's picking up a Dodge Challenger mule.  Whatever it is, he's to deliver it to Air France's cargo terminal at O'Hare.  Should I get pictures, they'll show up here.

Covering for vacationing co-workers next week.  Moving the week after that.  Burning plenty of remaining vacation time between now and November.

Damn! Your dad gets all the plum jobs, doesn't he.

Although we have the Kiwi equivilent of cable tv and a bbq at work, so I guess it all balances out in the end.

The car wasn't as exciting, viscerally, as we thought. Turns out to be a heavily-used 2008 Sebring - and one with a diesel engine, at that.

From a technological point-of-view, I'm interested. I'd love to see diesels become as common here as in Europe.
