Jesus wants me

Posted on March 22, 2010 by cac

I know I spend a lot of time up at St. Isidore and down in Braintree at the Archdiocesan Pastoral Center but I was still shocked to see that Jesus wants me for a special mission (email received 3/22/2010):

Woody helps Kristin and Kaitlin get to San Diego

Posted on March 16, 2010 by cac

Kris and Kait’s Jet Blue flight was canceled yesterday so they ended up getting a 5:40 AM flight out of Manchester. They came over last night to sleep and we left around 3 AM. Woody helped get them on the road.

Woody is the only one wide awake at this hour.

Snow is melting

Woody is getting excited that the snow is really melting and soon he will be able to go in the pool and run around in the backyard.

Woody likes it that the snow is pretty much gone from the backyard

The RMV saga

Posted on March 8, 2010 by cac

Woody helps out getting the new inspection sticker on the Olds

The Olds had a February inspection sticker so a week ago last Friday (the day we got back from San Diego), I ran it over to the Mobil station in Hudson. It failed inspection because there were some exhaust leaks and the license plate was too worn to be viewed safely. (They just don’t make plates like they used to. That plate was originally on the 86 Olds). So last Tuesday I had the exhaust system fixed, and then Wednesday I ran over to the RMV in Leominster to get new plates. It only took 2 minutes after I got to the counter but it was a 55 minute wait before that. New tags: 331 JZ8. Next problem was attaching the front plate. Since the green and white plates only had a rear plate, I never had a front plate holder. After deciding I had no scrap stuff to make one easily, I took George up on his offer to attach it. He did that Thursday. Looks nice. Friday I took it back to complete the inspection. This time the system spat out a notice that I had to bring it to a Motorist Assistance Center (MAC) to complete the inspection. I called the RMV and made an appointment for the one in Framingham on Monday (Today) at 10. They couldn’t tell me why.
So this morning I head to Framingham and I was just crossing Route 9 when I realized I had left the registration on my desk at home. I was so close I decided to go anyway. Turns out the MAC is a ramshackle room in a business that does safety inspections. It is marked only by a tiny sign by the door. I went in and told the guy I had forgotten the registration. He asked why I had to bring it and I told him I didn’t know. He pulled it into the bay and came back 2 minutes later. He said the garage checked a box incorrectly that said it was a “kit” car rather than a stock Olds 88. So he had to call the Mobile station to tell them to uncheck that and do the inspection. So I went all the way back, got the registration and after another 30 minute wait, I had my sticker. The Mobil station said they don’t check anything; all they do is scan the sticker. So I don’t know where the error happened but all is now well.

Brunch with the Medeiros kids and Woody helps out

Posted on March 8, 2010 by cac

Kristin was heading out to Philadephia for a work meeting so we had brunch this Sunday with Kaitlin, Tyler and Karissa.

Sunday brunch at Michael\’s Bridge Diner

Of course Woody came along and had a great time at the table and riding the stuffed bear.

Woody bears it with a smile

Woody has been busy around the house. He and Pooch were chatting a bit the other day in the kitchen.

Pooch eyes Woody and he returns the favor

Then he tried to help me get the chain saw running but I think he was a little conflicted with this, so it is still not operating correctly:

Woody is not too sure whether he wants the chain saw back in operation

Food and photos appeal to Woody

Posted on March 5, 2010 by cac

Woody has been busy the last few days. On Wednesday he help me do the shopping at Shaws. He got a little quiet as we were putting the toilet paper in the trunk and I asked him what was up. He was wondering whether they came from the same trees he did.
