weekend stuff

Typical Saturday.. it did start well, a good morning text to wake up to. 
Then started my laundry, L came in and thanked me for calming her down last night at work, and took the Clubman grocery shopping.
A couple cat converter codes, that i cleared.  Then pulled the passenger seat, no modules, cleaned and vacuumed under seats...found $1.40 in random change, also found a old mouse home.. cleaned it up and disinfected it and verified no chewed wires.. put it all back together. Drove over and filled the tank.
We took it to dinner tonight. 
Im thinking i may have to clean the cat converter..been researching how..
Probably try the degreaser method on the spare, and swap them.. then clean this one and maybe put it on Ls car.. if it works on the Clubman.
If not i will probably have to buy two new ones... $$$ 
A few forums state if it is contaminated from oil or coolant..once the issue has been resolved. Driving it will clear it out.
One could hope.
There are fuel additives that basically degrease it.. but can also cause other engine problems.. 
So.. maybe not a good choice.
Ls is probably a sensor..but i cant get it off... We did drive it to Michigan and back recently... 
So.. probably the sensor or the cat itself.
Cars.. such a pain sometimes.
....

Sunday i have nothing special..maybe move some more leaves..and make a test power supply..so i can verify that i fixed the big radio.
Then i need to figure out the cobra and maybe jeff's. 
I should have the one coming up from Florida.. see what he did..im wondering if its operator error.
..
I think J is on call next week..so i may have next weekend free . I think i start my call week on the 6th. Through the 20th. 
I thought this was my last weekend before call ,but got one more.
..
The timing is bad, but i could always swap with todd if need be.. he has offered if i need or want to. I think he would just take it for me and not swap.. extra comp time for him. 
I know he misses all the extra time off he used to have. Now there is four of us doing the 2wk on call duty. So much less time for him.
...
L has been overstressed, and decided to take a few days off.. si she goes back on Friday. 
No plan that i know of.. maybe j and L will go do something.
...
I worked in the jail 3 days last week..and have a couple more this week. Working in there is hard.. i can do the job, these weeks have been replacing TVs .. have to count and log our tools, in and out.. and if we are using tools, the inmates have to be locked in.. but you have to be very extra careful not to leave any tools, or anything that can be used as a weapon . Like screws, even wireties. Even cut tie ends.. i find it stressful.
Not my favorite part of the job.
...

Thats it..
For today
