Nov. 1st, 2005 07:11 pmSince I'm stuck at home by myself tonight, I guess I'll get some cleaning done. I got the computer room mostly done on Sunday and made a good start on the bedroom on Monday. Maybe I can finish that up tonight.
I stopped at my parents' house on the way home. I feel bad that, for two weeks in a row, we've missed having the weekly family dinner we wanted to begin. I hope it works out next week. Though my dad is out at rehearsal, my mother and brother were there along with said brother's girlfriend. I may have convinced them to come by and bug me later on after they put some time into cleaning their room. I had so much fun just hanging out with the two of them for the half an hour or so before leaving home; they're wonderful to be with and I've missed them. There are so many things that we did together (or to each other) back in the day that completely crack me up.
It would seem that my brother's (and my) friend Juan is living there too for a little while to get away from family trouble. He had a large tank and a compressor salvaged from a refrigerator sitting on the living room floor and my mother was telling me about how he demonstrated what he's doing with it. He's using the compressor to create a low pressure zone inside the tank so that he can put vegetable oil contaminated with water into it, lower the boiling point of the water, and boil it all away so he's left with pure vegetable oil that he will then burn in the diesel car he's going to modify. Have I said how much I respect this guy? I left a message to be passed on to him that he's always free to give me a call and come by to work in my garage. I want to see how he does this stuff!
Oh well. Off to cleaning and, hopefully, alleviation of boredom.
