A Fixed Truck and wtf A.I.?

Mentioned a couple months ago that the wifes suburban had a compressor malfunction. Since then weve been limping it along more or less just fine. The fried pulley clutch would make some gawd-awful noises from time to time, but it all worked if you didnt mind being a little embarassed Well, it all worked until Monday when that clutch finally seized and destroyed the new serpentine belt. *sigh*

Good news is that the wife had it towed to a shop who gave us an estimate several hundred dollars below any other estimates wed received. Got it fixed and back yesterday and man, it sure runs quieter with working parts.

Wife and daughter have been hooking me into watching American Idol with em most nights this year. In general I enjoy it, but what the heck is going on with the panel this year? Randy is Randy, Simon is Simon but Paula is what, drunk? Every show she seems to be doing or saying something just a bit goofy. And the host (Ryan?) seems to have decided that he is going to get in a shot at Simon every chance he gets. You can feel the tension and frankly it is rather annoying. Ah well, Im still rooting for the rocker (Chris) and the Pickler.
