iOff Update
Our intrepid sidekick here at the Conniptions lair has kicked up a bit of dust regarding his recent absence from the front page. Never fear, though, dear readers, for iOff is still doing his part to keep Mr. Nipples' life interesting (This is the peak of entertainment for grad students, by the way). In fact, the very morning that I dragged MaLee, Juniper, and myself to Al's Breakfast, iOff stood up to be counted and delivered a memorable performance for our guest, the Juniper. Memorable in that he chose not to start in the blistering cold. You see, he was just a little concerned that, perhaps because I never wake up that early, he was about to be the victim of grand theft auto. As a natural response, he chose to clam up for 10 minutes. Apparently this turtlish response is a safety feature. And honestly, 10 minutes is probably long enough for me to get him going when he gets stuck on the railroad tracks next time. Probably.
It turns out that there is a systemic flaw with iOff's handshake. It is a little weak. It freezes such that the anti-theft gets activated when you simply try turning the engine over. And now Saturn is out of business. Interesting. For now, though, I'm just hoping it warms up and the problem goes away.
Other than that, he's been his cheery self. Even bathing Saturday morning immediately before 4 more inches of Valentine snow fell and promptly sullied up his freshly shined plastic panels. Poor guy. Can't catch a break.
