May. 3rd, 2004 06:04 pmQuick update time! Yes, that's right. From me. Uh huh.
The weekend was mostly good. Andrea and I had a realy nice time at the Oasis and have become even more convinced that, at some point when we have a house of our own, said house requires a hot tub.
My car is running really nicely. Vance (our mechanic) got the two dead cylinders firing (no wonder my gas mileage blew) and it's purring like a, well, maybe not purring. But it is running, and pretty smoothly for a 20 year old engine.
Because my car is happy, I decided to finally add something to it that I've wanted to for a good while; specifically the CB radio that's been riding around in my trunk since I moved out here. I attached the antenna to the roof (it's a magnetic mount), ran the wire into the trunk, through the backseat, and attached it to the radio which is cozily tucked under the middle of the bench seat. While messing with electrical connections and fuses, I realized that the fuse marked 'tail' is burned out. I probably should have checked that before making the jury rig repair (splicing the headlight power line into the tail lights via speaker wire) that I did last fall, but at least I'm aware of it now. The CB radio is cool, though after listening to slightly garbled and distorted voices on it on the way to and from work today as well as on the weekend, I'm starting to become convinced that there are only two or three different people on the entire CB band. I probably just need a better speaker/radio/antenna.
I have plans for cleaning up the apartment. Big plans. I'll let you know if I actually follow through. I am in the process of hoarding boxes from work so I can rearrange and organize our storage room in the basement, thereby freeing room for more stuff from up here to go down there. Not incidentally, this should also allow me to free my sweetie's and my bicycles and her massage table, for the liberation of which she's promised me an hour long massage. Woof!!
She and I are going out to Dragonmead again tonight in all likelihood. We'll probably by there next Monday too. At least, I hope so. Come see us before I return to school and my time gets sucked into the 8th dimension! It's evil, pure and simple.
