...because the pilot light in our water heater is out and won't re-light. A quick call to the installer suggests it's a minor part like a spark igniter or something. I won't lie - I tuned out when technical talk happened. The technician is supposed to stop by this afternoon so we will get hot showers again.

Less good news on the car front: the engine has been a bit rough for the last month. When idling it often feels like it's jerking forward and back a bit, like an impatient racehorse. Eventually the "check engine" light went on and we took it to our usual garage; but by then the light had gone out and they couldn't find what was happening. (Too much software I guess - they can't fix it without being told where to look.) Unfortunately, after a couple weeks it started up again. We dropped it off today, but they want to keep the car another business day. Which means Monday. Oh well; I didn't really plan to drive much this weekend. The grocery shopping and dry cleaning pickup we normally do on Saturday will just have to wait.

Sounds like a forced weekend in. Could be worse!
