So I'm back to work... The break was good, and seeing family was good, too.
Got a flat tire on my way back to Albany yesterday, which Sarah and I had to change on the side of the Thruway. Not fun. Also slightly aggravated about the fact that my tire pressure monitoring system never mentioned anything about it. I have an appointment with the VW dealership tomorrow to have the tire repaired or replaced. Should be covered under my warranty (I specifically got a tire/wheel warranty), so it shouldn't cost more than a deductible. C'est la vie, I suppose.
My dad gave me a HO-scale stock car that apparently makes chicken sounds. I need to wire up a section of track when I get home to try it out.
I did get the Harmony all working yesterday. It is super-cool.
