mikeknIt's been a busy week so far. Hopefully it will slow down a bit now...
Sunday we did the brunch thing at Kildare's, but skipped the movie since no one else was interested in going. We had a good crowd again this week. Joy & Mike and the kids, The Lovely Gail, Mathilde and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hughcasey & Deni. I had my usual Big Irish breakfast, minus the extra puddings this time and apple juice (ok, Strongbow cider).
Monday I drove to Long Island (New Hyde Park for folks who know the area). Spent all day training them on their new ultrasound system (after we got around the fact that the manufacture forgot to include their non-standard power cable). Went to the mall for dinner - I wasn't in the mood for experimenting with local restaurants - and then stayed over at the lovely Floral Park Motor Lodge...
Next day, more training, this time on the data capture system. We discovered a few problems that we'll need to work on, but over all the trip went well.
On my way home however, I got rear ended in stop and go traffic on the Belt Parkway. Only my bumper seems to be damaged, and I was sore for a day or so. Now I need to get my bumper repaired. The folks who hit me would prefer to do this with out involving the insurance companies - which is fine with me - but I took down all their insurance info just in case. I'm hoping to get a quote or two today, but I don't know how likely that is yet.
We leave for Pennsic tomorrow, and I'm only now getting a chance to start to pack...
