Monday

[susandennis]

Turns out the schools are out this week. There are two public schools between here and the pool and having them empty means a much smoother trip there and back. Yeah for Spring Break! Also, I wonder if Spring Break wasn't the reason for way fewer people at the morning swim... It was lovely.

I have nothing on the docket today. My car tire light came on this morning but nothing looks flat. And I'm not up for tangling with the rich and famous on Monday morning at the Mercedes dealership. If it persists, I'll take it in on Wednesday or find some tire place to give me a blow job.

I do need, one of these days, to go to Benjamin Moore and get some matching paint to do some touch ups around here. Again, does not have to be today.

I have a package coming... hopefully. The USPS says that it is scheduled for delivery last Thursday. There has been no change in any info for the tracking number since last Wednesday at 2 am. It is well and truly stuck. Here's hoping it gets unstuck. I really don't want to call them.

It's supposed to stay cool and cloudy today so I think a nice walk will be in the offing at some point. I have two very excellent novels going and both are at critical points in the plot. There's lots of good stuff on TiVo and knitting to be done.

The open swims I go to are 12:00-1:30, and they were packed the week before last because Everett schools were out, then again last week because Lynnwood and Marysville were out. I guess I should see if Mukilteo's out before I commit to going today. :)

Interesting... When our public schools are out, the pool mid day population doesn't seem to change. The college/uni Spring break sometimes causes more pool peops. Sometimes.

I'll be interested in seeing what it's like tomorrow at when I go at 11.

Are your swim times laps-only or open swim? I go during open swim since I like to tread water in the deep end, but since it's open swim, there are tons of kids as well.

My early morning swims are laps only. But, my Tues/Thurs mid day swims are a hybrid. 4 regular lanes and then they remove one lane line and the double area is anything goes. Usually it's joggers and treaders. But never any kids - even in summer. Odd, now that I think about it.

I'm so jealous of you.

Tire pressure lights come on when a tire is 3+ lbs low on air. If the weather is colder, that can normal it can cause the light to come on. Just driving the car and warming the tires can correct the problem. My father in law has this problem all the time with his Toyota Yaris.

Except when you have a nail in the tire. The light comes on then, too. Also when you have a hole in the tire. Also when there is a problem with the tire other than just pressure.

And, yes, when one tire is low on air the light comes on.

On my car, no amount of driving will turn the light off regardless of the cause.

Interesting information. I have never really dealt with it other than being a passenger in Lonnie's car. Last week every morning the light would be on, but by the time we would get into town (8 miles away) the light would be off.

Hope nothing serious was wrong with your tires.
