Well, apparently the problems with the "new" van are worse than we anticipated. The check engine light had come on. Not really a big deal. They pressure wash the engine at the dealership and we figured they just knocked something loose. They checked and reset it, and Mrs E started home. Before she got home, it came back on. I had her stop at Auto Zone to get a free diagnostic check. They said the codes being thrown was a leak in the O2 sensor, and the catalytic converter was bad. Great. So, while I went to the gym, Mrs E drove BACK into Charlotte to drop the van off and get a loaner for a couple of days. If this happens again, we are going to tell them to take the POS back and give us a 2012 Odyssey Touring Elite (we got the 2011 Touring Elite) and they arent going to change any of the financing. This sucks, because we REALLY like this van.
And as I said, I went to the gym. Burned off almost enough Calories to negate everything Ive eaten today. Now Im gonna load up on dinner with some fried fish filets and tater tots.

And Im hurtin'. I stayed off of everything that even MIGHT have hurt my back, but it's still reminding me it's not back to fully better yet. So, Im gonna get some kids in bed, and stretch out on the couch for a little while, then get to bed. HOPEfully, I'll get a call from a certain coach to tell us Kat made the team!
I will update as available!
