I got the official title to the Metro today, so it's 100% legal and 100% mine!

I've made it through two technical phone interviews and have an in person interview later this week for a great job that will make me a legitimate contractor and allow me to travel more.

I fixed the ice cream machine. It was leaking because it had several metal parts that were exposed to the mostly-salt-water freezing gel. I coated all effected parts with a heavy polyseal for floors, re-filled the gel compartment, and re-assembled it.

The blueberry sherbet is finally en route. It's in Phase One cooling in the freezer right now.

The paperwork for my Grandma's will showed up, and once everyone signs and returns it, I'll be getting another two months of money in the mail.

I polished my money frogs and dragons, and added a new gold dollar coin to the one in the kitchen.

I made a *lot* of progress cleaning up the remodeling garbage in the living room, and the floor looks great!

I'm learning Ruby, but promise not to become an asshole.

Guess which city has the second most bridges in the world?

Pittsburgh, PA. Right behind Venice.

Although we were concerned Grandma might not live long enough for us to get here on Tuesday, she's had several good days. She was still playing cards with us as recently as yesterday, but today she's shutting down. She hardly takes any water, and her kidneys have been failing for some time. She's not often responsive, and definitely seems to be on her way out. Unless she actually passes before I leave, I'll be heading back to Austin on Tuesday morning, with the anticipation of coming back for the funeral.

Everyone is holding up about as well as can be expected. I'm only now starting to stress, and tomorrow is my last full day. My poor aunt and uncle have been doing the Cleveland-Pittsburgh (150 miles) relay now for over five years, but this should be their last time.
