Well, thanksgiving is over and Christmas is closing in. I am now without a car since a bearing my transmission (i think) has decided to be noisy. So noisy in fact, that it is louder than my exhaust. That is loud. I took it to one dude and he says its "on its last leg" and want to replace it. I asked about rebuild and he just kinda talks like its just easier to replace whole transmission. It aint cheaper though! It'll be around 1500 bucks to put a decent replacement in there that would actually hold up to a 5.0's torque, and I want my Tremec rebuilt but can't seem to find a shop that will quote me a price up front. They gotta open it up first and check it out. Nice. I'd try to rebuild it myself, but I don't have the tools or time and not necessarily all the mechanical knowledge. In the meantime, Becky and I are carpooling. I guess it save a little gas. She says we can afford to fix it next year, which of course is just around the corner :)
Plus next year, I will finally get a motorcycle. Well since I've been wanting one for about a few years now and actually got my endorsement and took a motorcycle safety courses. The course was one of Becky's stipulations toward me getting a motorbike and I seriously had no problem with that. It was a really useful course in my opinion. Now, I just hope to find be a CBR600RR for cheap next year...
Ok, portion of the current art project I am working on now requires me to mix 2 different paint colors using colors specified by my instructor to make a different color. In this case, I'm starting with orange and blue. I told my instructor early on I'm red/green color blind. This class is online, so I have to email my work to her. She obviously blew me out of the water on my first try. I reminded her that I was colorblind, since I didn't expect her to remember. She then replies with comment in her email : "I am a little concerned because you knew this was a COLOR and design course and your condition with your color blindness. However, we do have to make this work."
HOLY SHIT! That was harsh.I couldn't even reply to that because I was so pissed me off. I got Becky to reply for me since I would of gotten in trouble if I had replied and I'm not going to ruin my college career over this crazy bitch. Becky reminded me that the course catalog and syllabus says nothing about mixing paint colors.
We have been trying for about 8 hours to get the paint the color she wants with no luck so far. I hope we can get this shit this weekend. I will need more beer!
This post is more or less pointing out a feature of blogger.com. At the top right corner of the page, there is a button that says Next Blog. A few weeks ago I was feeling adventurous/bored and decided to start clicking the next blog link. There is some interesting stuff going on here. Some pages are just normal everyday folks starting out a new blog like me. Then there some pro looking pages that basically have no content and just some flashy graphics, big deal. Then there are blogs from folks in other countries. Just tonite, I click the link and got a whole page in Russian. Whoa,
they lost me real quick on that one. I didn't know this blogger thing was that widespread; ignorant me. I've found blogs in a bunch of languages. There's all kinds of crazy talk up here. Another cool thing is if you don't like the next blog, just hit backspace and try the link again for another random blog.
