Rough day…

Man its been a rough day… Found out this morning that one of my favorite web comics will cease to exist after the beginning of the year… (You’ll Have That) I’ve enjoyed it a ton and it relates to life so well… It will be sad to see it go…

Work was ok… took all day to reimage two macs… ugh they take forever…

get home start to prep the mustang for a little paint… got it rubber coated on the bottom, but ran out of time (sunlight) to prime it the rest of the way…

so as I am cleaning up the fiance called to say her car shut down for no apparent reason in the middle of the road… great… so on my way she calls back saying it cranked again and is heading to the closest dealership… I pull in to the dealership and as I am coming around a corner my back tire decides to go flat with a bang… yay me… so as I’m getting my spare on (with no help from the service lane mind you) She’s getting them to take in her car… only there are no technicians… They go home at six even though the service lane itself closes at seven WHAT IDIOCY IS THAT?!?!?! so now I have the spare on, since there are no techs they won’t patch my tire, and start to close up…

I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings when I have to go to my dealership to get a new tire, have then check my sunroof that has been acting up lately, and get an oil change + alignment. whew…

I’m a PC

I’ve been seeing a lot of ads for Microsoft’s I’m a PC campaign… trying to compete against Apples’ I’m a Mac campaign… Mac is going after stereotypes and Microsoft with anyone they can find… They would probably sign up their own grandparents… I just have one thing to say about this… I’m a PC and I’m a Mac… why? Because I have to fix both of them at work… Doesn’t matter who you are, people destroy computers… I have 16 boxes in my office from Apple laptops that I’ve had to ship to them for repair (because they don’t have a parts program like Dell) and on the other hand I’ve had to order more power adaptors from Dell than I can remember…

I’m a PC and a Mac, and both break contrary to popular thought.

ugh..

well I’m fighting off something… dunno what, but I can’t even pop my ears… on top of that I’ve been doing a lot of body work on the mustang… looks like I need a new valance, had to get a new fender, gonna have to get a new driver side door, passenger fender, and possible a passenger door… not positive on that yet. It also needs a good weather seal kit all around… the rest looks pretty good…

Now to get to work on those invoices to get some cash to pay for these parts…

random thoughts…

Saw this today…

in other news… the guy that I bought the brake kit can die in a fire… slowest. shipping. evar.

carry on

weee mustang work

well, the front disk brake conversion kit came in… only a couple issues… one parts bag was missing… so I can’t mount the new master cylinder, and one of the brake pad clib bolts sheered off when it was being screwed in… other than that it was pretty straight forward.

I also took the alternator off and took it to go have tested… found out that it was actually taking up energy instead of producing energy… might be why the battery keeps going dead… so got a new one and now just waiting on a new harness since the other basically fell apart on me when I took it off…

the next big project will be some engine tuning, some more wire harness work, and some bulb socket replacements along with the harnesses… hopefully I will have all this done in time for the wedding…
