Overtaken By Events, my middle name(s)

I start too many projects as if I were to be in charge of scheduling my time but a high percentage of my time is consumed by events that implode on me. C/S functional again, chipping through the piles of leaves and downwood collected since last fall, then C/S engine fails again. Half a day spent investigating a used engine, failing that, ordering a short block. Reassembling the engine pending. Contra dance buddy, Gene Hubert, died after a short but intense illness and attended his memorial service. Trooper started failing on return from memserv, drove it to mech's niteowl service on a Sunday, rode Maizey back home, and rode 'dale to mech to fetch Trooper Tuesday. Clogged fuel filter. Gregg Warren rented a truck on a 3-day fee to fetch compost from the Wake County Yard Waste site and offered one day to Jeanne. I lost a Monday to two roundtrips for compost unforeseen. Piles yet to be spread. Sunday, my PC burped with "lsass.exe the ending format is invalid." Googled to learn work-around, then spent three hours making changes hoping to prevent its reoccurrence.

Thus, OBE rules. Haven't touched tax prep yet and, of course, have to allocate time to watching NCAA b'ball games.
