Today at work I added functionality to the project of our good client that allows the administrator to add participants to the database. I tested it on my machine and moved it to the production box, but didn't actually test it there.

I spent several hours getting ready for our investment club meeting which begins in 16 hours. I think Wende and I put it off so much because we really don't know how to properly fill out the forms. I will take a tutorial class thing on how to fill them out. I know this is simple stuff, but it's the kind of stuff that's simple after I've done it once.

As we left my work, I discovered that my car wouldn't start. I had left the lights on. I've left them on plenty of times before, but I had always previously noticed them on as soon as I exit my car. Not today. I pushed pushed pushed Scott up the slight incline and then as Scott gained speed down the other side, I climbed in, but knocked off my glasses in the process. Essentially blind, I pushed in and popped the clutch, but it didn't start. I hadn't turned the key to On.

Stopped Scott at the street, went back and found my glasses. They were bent, but wearable. Fortunately Wende was still there so we jumped Scott's battery. A simple task for the big engine in Butch. (Butch is the name of Wende's truck)

I discovered that my radio presets had been lost with no power, so I reset those on the way home.
