1/8/16 Emissions Check for Bigfoot

     This morning Papa and I headed to Bigfoot at about 9 AM. It was time to take care of the annual emissions check. The first big question was whether it would start after being in storage for so long. It did not. Fortunately, Heavenly Father blessed us. The RV that was parked immediately to the right of Bigfoot was moved since last time. That allowed Papa to park alongside with the Saturn and jump it. We believe we were being looked after. After that we had to turn the engine off and on several times and it worked each time. This was good since we left the Saturn at the storage place. There would have been trouble had we needed to jump it again. Bigfoot passed its tests with flying colors. When we got back Papa test ran the generator. It's had trouble in the past if not run regularly. It had to think about it but it too came online. 

        The best part of the trip for me today was getting to visit with my Dad about teaching. He shared a fun game with me called Murphy ball. It sounds like a good way to help the kids prepare for the next test. He told me a great story about a "half witted parrot". You should ask him to tell you, it's pretty great. The gist of the story is be respectful of the students. We had a fun chat. I look forward to asking more questions in the future.
