We call it Emissions here too and have to have it done every 2 yrs. in order to get our tag.  Took mine in about 2 weeks ago.  It did pass but it is the waiting that I hate.  Not much going on around here.  I was planning on finishing painting the room today but my back keeps locking up, so I am going to rest today.  Mary Lou, have a wonderful time with those grandbabies - they are so much fun but can be absolutely exhausting.  I got a chuckle from Scotty on Sunday at Chuck E. Cheese - he had traded in the tickets he won playing the games, and got a toy snake.  They have this maze of &quot;tunnels&quot; there made out of pipes big enough for the kids to stand up in and there are bubble windows all thru them so you can see the kids.  It is raised up to the ceiling and they have to come down a slide to come out.  Anyway, Scotty had this snake in hand running thru the tunnels yelling &quot;SNAKE&quot; as loud as he could - he had all the little girls running and screaming while shaking that thing at them.  They had to have known it wasn&#39;t real because this went on for a good half hour, but they kept screaming and that only egged him on.  I told Greg that this child will probably be spending a lot of time in the principal&#39;s office when he starts kindergarten in the fall.  Well, guess I had better get moving and get my day started - Happy Hump Day
