What good thing happened to you today?

Life isn't always pleasant, but somewhere in your day something good happened. It's time to celebrate those little things. Did the vending machine drop two Snickers instead of one? Did someone tell you how nice you looked today? Share it here and give yourself a high-five.

I went to work and no one got hurt. One of my shows, Desperate Housewives is wrapping after 8 seasons, we've had very minor injuries for 8 years. I bought a very low priced bank short sale on a condo on Saturday, sucks for the seller but excellent for me.

I went to my doc today.
He said he doesn't want to see me until I am 50. (good news)
Bad news is that I am 49.
Good news is that I am can still play hockey! Summer hockey starts tomorrow.
Good news... The last group of apprentices before summer started today. 8 weeks more and 8 weeks off....
The balance is on the good side today!

The $65 parking violation was waived because I've been a faithful customer for months (private parking lot)

I played ice hockey tonight and didn't get hurt! Plus I had one assist and a goal. We lost 2 to 4 (they scored on a empty net) and we only had eight skaters on our side. So as the oldest guy on our team I can still hold my own, so that makes me happy!

I played Monopoly with my two youngest. We had a blast. And I got to drink single malt while doing so!

Physical therapist wrenched my neck into a much better position.

I worked hard and got a lot accomplished.

It was a gorgeous 81 degree sunny day in Portland. That doesn't happen too often in April!

Although today was just a day, it is great to write down what is great about it.

Thanks!
Larry

We have a lincoln spool gun... That is a tricky process. Our welder has figured out that its all in the prep. He says to make sure the AL is absolutely clean. We keep a stainless steel brush on a grinder that gets used for nothing but Al...

Putting my '10 Winnebago ERA Sprinter up for sale.
Check eng. light on - code said EGR issue.
I have a 5 yr. ext'd warranty & thought Mercedes would be a good place to go.
.
No charge for the EGR - emission warranty for 70k miles.
I thought I'd have them change oil while at it. I did want Mercedes to do its 3rd oil change (special Mobil 1 elixir) to show a buyer that I take care of the rig.
This was my first visit to a MB dealership and I'm in Glory.
The Spec. Mobil 1 oil is pricey so I ordered an oil kit with filter, seal, etc. online...showed it to the serv. manager.
They changed oil but charged me for a filter/seal...refunded the filter/seal cost - their confusion.
They said, "Keep your oil filter...parts are on the house."
They replaced a dead running bulb & only charged for the bulb.
They washed the 23 footer in fine fashion using filtered rinse water (no Phoenix hard water spots).
Windows and interior are spotless & dustless.
They placed a nice windshield sun screen and an aluminum water bottle inside for me.
I emailed the service manager an "Atta Boy!"
The rig is ready to sell.
My dog loves me.
A good day.
