Happy Birthday, River!!!

"River" hit her 120K mile mark last night on my way home from work. to celebrate i got her new headlamp assemblies. not really though, because those broke two weeks ago when i was replaceing the bulbs. the previous owner over torqued the screws and just getting them loose broke the mounting points. found them for $40 a side new. tried to get them from the junk yard first, but all of them there had the same problem.

Double Feature

well its been a while, so i figured a movie review would be a good way to update.

Iron Man

Awesome movie. good plot line, but never having read the actual comic i cant say how true to it it was. the character development was great as well. watching as Tony and Pepper chaged, both as individuals and as a pair, was gripping.


Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Love what they did with Shia's character. my personal best scene was the action scene in the jungle. the sword fight was a nice touch. also, me smells more on the horizon.


watch both of those with the fam today. fallowed by a dinner of my dads famous Tri-Tip, sauted green beans, and corn on the cob.

"River" has been great lately. i have been adding some personal touches to her recently and i like the way they have turned out. the only thing that didnt quite was the new peadal covers that i am installing. the brake side isnt working with the "included hardware" so i am working on some custom stuff. i also added some nice plate frames, a new seat center console (with a custom built and installed combo mp3 player/cell holder), and a steering wheel cover. i think that a new paint job is next. current job is cracking and srcatched to heck.

What happens when..........

what happens when you give a disorganized guy his own space????? he can't remember where half of his stuff is. so now many weeks and lots of frustrating hours spent rummaging through my room, i found out that the driver disc for my camera was in a drawer just three feet from my compy and on the TOP!!!!! RRRRAAAARRRR!!!!!!!! to add insult to injury, THEY DON'T WORK!!!!!! RRRRAAAARRRR!!!!!!!!! so i went out and bought a card reader. probably should have from the start. any who, now i am working on getting my pics posted, which is still going to take some time. I've got lots.

Car Update: "River" has been treating me nicely lately. i changed the oil a couple of weeks ago and the air filter last week. i can't begin to describe the feeling that i got when i had finished. it was like euphoria on caffeine. which spurred me on. i now think i know what i want to do with my life. becoming an auto mechanic was never something that i would have considered until recently. now i plan on pursuing it after i serve a mission.
