Yesterday I shined her up a bit, she still cleans up good for a 10 year old car.

I haven't seen a doctor in 3 months for the little guy. Everything has been by phone, email, or with Tara present during the exams.

I'm just the transporter and payer of bills.

I lack a bench, vice, air tools, precision measurement tools, and skills.

For the couple hundred bucks it'll cost me to have the diff installed in the pumpkin, I'm more comfortable knowing it was done right. Especially when it spins at a few thousand RPMs.

I know how that goes all too well. Hopefully I won't get called into work tomorrow, and I can finally get this JWT pop charger installed myself. I know its pretty simple, but I've never really done much with cars under the hood, so I'm a little gunshy to start learning everything

it shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes... the hardest part is the little screws that go from the shield into the factory are tube... you will see what i am talking about when you do it. i used a right angle pic to mark the places, then screwed them in without the shield in place.... then when you are ready for everything, it fits together perfect

welp... got the bumper back from paint today, and as I expected its too light in color. I had the car painted a few years back and it came out darker even though its supposed to be factory color code, which I explained to the paint shop and they took samples but I think they kind of blew me off when i told them its going to come out too light. Bummer. Time for round 2 of paint.

Some kind of car meet at King of Diamonds in IGH, I believe. That's apparently today, and I either forgot about it or didn't care.

I feel like I've been so busy the last couple of months that I don't always get to do fun stuff. I guess that's what summer's all about.
