Weird coupla days

I don't know if it's been the weather or what. I've either been feeling awesome and getting a ton of shit done, or I've been dead tired. I did see this while driving around the other day...



I think it some kind of bread truck. Damn funny.

Gearhead

I think I'm now officially a electronics nerd, computer geek, and now a gearhead. Check out my two new toys...



The big red thing is a 1500# engine hoist and the little red thing to the left of it is a 750# engine stand. I can now pull my motor out of my can and do anything I want. This fucking rocks!!!

I also have more electronics in my garage than most people do in their entire home...



Well except for BM. I do have wireless internet radio though. ;)

Oh yeah, here's a cool picture of my car with no rear end. Look Ma, no rear wheels...



Since this is turning into a picture post, here's a couple summerfest pics...

The Cocksmiths!


Gingerjake!


Here's a better picture of their goddess singer Amber.

Happy FUF!

Fuck U Friday is here!!!



I heard on the news this morning that two of the US' major refineries are broken! Geez, you'd think that they would have enough money to maintain their equipment properly. I guess another was down because of a power outage. Geez, I wonder where a refinery could get some fuel to run a generator??? I'm guessing they might have a few HUNDRED THOUSAND gallons laying around.

Oh no! Somebody farted in the mideast. Raise prices!!!!!!!

This is getting old real fast.


BTW, I've always prided myself on my sub-knuckle extension.

Second Chance Offer.

This kicks ass. I just was checking my ebay stuff and I got this message...

"The seller, xxxxxxxx is making this Second Chance Offer because the high bidder was either unable to complete the transaction or the seller has a duplicate item for sale.

The selling of this item through Second Chance Offer is in compliance with eBay policy; you will be able to exchange Feedback with the seller and will be eligible for all eBay services associated with a transaction, such as fraud protection."



ROTFLMAO!!!!! I told you that I thought the high bidder was nuts for paying MORE THAN TWICE what it was worth. He must have realized what he did and pulled out. Either that or he was just some scammer.

Either way, I might have my MTX Contour after all. I just have to figure out where the heck I'm gonna get the money from. Doh!

Little ditty...

I got a su-per-char-ger
and you-ou-ou doo-oon't
neener neener neener neener nenner
you-ou-ou su-uh-uh-uck

It's the little song that has been playing in my head all day. :D

Yeah, I bought the supercharger. I was pissed because some a-hole bought my future car. That was even more motivation to buy the supercharger.

Now I've gotta figure out if I wanna sell my turbo or keep it. It's worth a good $475-500 if I throw it on eBay. Hmmmmm....

I gotta sell my friggin projectors and an assload of other stuff too...

Projectors, mounts, remote, and switcher $500-800
Antec Overature HTPC Case $60-75
Component to RBG Transcoder $250
NEC 19" Computer monitors $150
LCD Display $125-150

There's $1085-1425 just laying around me collecting dust. I gotta go borrow my parent's digital cam and get this crap sold!

Outbid.

I am sooo fucking pissed off right now!!!!!!!!!!!

Some a-hole who has more money than sense bid the living crap out of the car that I wanted. In excellent condition KBB said that it was worth $975. This douchbag went and ran it up to $1800.

He's probably just going to beat the shit out of it or give it to his dumbass kid to trash.

Fuccking mother fucking cosk sucking....... I need a drink.

Money pit.

Do you hear that? It's a couple of devious fucks tunneling towards my money pit. Here's a photo of each of them...





The top one is a Jackson Racing M62 Supercharger. It was originally meant for a Ford SVT Focus but I could relatively easily modify it to fit my Ford Contour. The supercharger sells for $3100 new. There is a guy selling the one in the picture for $1300 or best offer. 150 extra hosrepower is REALLY hard to pass up especially when it is less than half of the original cost.

The lower picture is of a Ford Contour that has a 2.0L Zetec engine and a manual transmission. I have been watching the local classifieds and ebay for two years now looking for one of these. Now one has shown up. According to Kelly Blue Book, it should go for $775 in good condition or $975 in excellent condition. Right now the bid is at just over $800. I want it. It would be THE perfect project car for over the winter. A whole friggin' car in good shape for less than a grand!

I have a couple of big decisions to make over the next 24 hours. Do I want to screw myself and undo all of the paying off of my credit card over the last six months... or do I want to have a wholla lotta fun and enjoyment that these two items would bring me over the next year or two.

Decisions...decisions.

BTW, I completely missed out on FU Friday. Doh!

Ch-ch-changes

BM's recent post prompted this one...


I often wonder about my decisions:

Why haven't I filled out the paperwork to get my diploma (which is 3 YEARS overdue)?
Why am I doing nothing to loose weight?
Why am I still in debt?
Why am I still at the same mindless job that I was 7 years ago?
When am I going to meet a girl and finally get some friggin pussy?


Besides the last one, these are all things that I'm just ignoring or have put off. "I'll do it tomorrow", I tell myself. That been going on for years.

I just need to dig into the paperwork to get my diploma. But I don't. 2 years of my life that only require a few hours to complete, and I just put it off.

I haven't ridden my bike on a regular basis for over 2 years. It's f'd up and needs to be repaired. I just keep putting it off.

I know that I need to stop spending money on random shit for my various projects. But I don't. My credit card bill just seems to never drop below $2k.

I keep going to the same job and complaining about it. I can do it easily and it pays well but I'm not getting anywhere. I'm also not taking night classes or trying to get any certifications, all which would help me get a better job. But I don't.

I haven't been with a woman in soo long, I'm almost becoming afraid of being intimate. Someone "my age" will be expecting a very experienced guy, which I'm not. I guess it's still all about confidence. I'll worry about it once I actually have something to worry about.

Cool shit.

Just in case you wanted to know...

You can download a high resolution image of the Declaration of Independance, Constitution, and the Bill of rights.

Check it out.

How cool is that!?!

It's going to be interesting to see just how smart that the kids of the "internet generation" will be. You can find anything!!!
