Happy Easter, or Passover, or whatever religiousee thing you celebrate.

SO it was a pretty good family kind of day. Our eldest had to work so he didn't come home but the youngest showed up with his girlfriend. Along with my mother-in-law, my daughter and my wife, we managed to have a nice meal.

Afterwards, there was some egg dying.

I can't help but notice that the eggs all tend to be a drab blueish/yellow color. I'm thinking my family isn't really good at dying eggs but they do seem to have a very good time doing it.

That was a very expensive tank of gas.

My mechanic discovered the problem with my car - it had no gas in the tank.

Turns out my gas gauge decided to stop working.

While I was on the phone with the mechanic, my wife was checking the credit card transactions. She said, "The last time you bought gas was March 5th".

They filled it with gas and I went down to pick up. They'll do some research on replacing the full sensor and let me know what the cost will be.

In the meantime, it cost me $40.00 to tow it, $90.00 to find the problem and $40.00 to fill the tank. That comes to $170.00.

On the up side, I found out I can go about a month before I run out of gas.

The nuclear deal worked out between the Obama administration and the Iranians scares the crap out of me.

It's an indication that Obama still believes that he, just like Jimmy Carter, can solve all the worlds problems by simply talking.

The problem is that the Iranians, and pretty much everyone else on the planet, figured out that you can get Obama to do anything you want by agreeing with him and letting him believe you are going along.

I suspect that when all the governments get together at their government parties, they all stand around sipping cocktails and eating those little hot dogs on toothpicks and when the US government walks in, they all giggle and says, "There goes the retarded kid. Lets go agree with him! It'll be a hoot."

Car trouble.

My car wouldn't start today. And when I say it wouldn't start, I mean it wouldn't even fire up.

I called my mechanic and said my car was on it's way down and then I called AAA and they came over. He tried a few things like wiggling the fuses, fiddling with some hoses and then finally plugging a reader into the computer port.

Up came nine error messages, all of them indicating a timing issue.

So now my car is sitting at the mechanics and I'm really hoping the words "timing issue" don't mean "extra expensive"....

So the street behind me has been blocked off by fire and police for the last several hours and my daughter said she saw Columbia Gas trucks at one of my neighbors house when she came home from work.

If you hear a really loud explosion, call me to make sure we're still here.

I need someone to pay off my mortgage.

Is anyone willing to pay off my mortgage for me?

I'd appreciate it.
