(no subject)
Spent WAY too much money this week getting the Command Center and the Brat up and running. But it's gotta be done otherwise I'll never get moved out of the house. Got the brat started up last night, but still have to hook up the water pump, let it warm up and adjust the timing, so still too soon to tell if it's running correctly. Installed an older intake manifold that has a LOT less useless emissions crap on it, so hopefully that will simplify things.
Aimee drove home after a few drinks a month or so ago, and killed a girl who, for some reason, was naked and in the middle of the road. For some reason, Aimee fled the scene. She got arrested and is being charged with a dui, vehicular manslaughter or possibly homocide, and felony charge for leaving the scene. She can't tell me any details because she's not supposed to talk about the case. Media got a hold of it, made her look like the worst person in the world, her boss found out, and she got fired. Media didn't put any blame on the nutjob who stripped off her clothes and laid down in the middle of the fucking road. She may lose her law degree and her medical degree and could actually do prison time. I'm sick about it. She worked SOOO hard to get her law degree and now she'll lose everything over something so stupid. You'd think being a lawyer she would know better to leave the scene. But she was drinking, blew around a .11 i think, and was with friends, so she obviously wasn't thinking straight and her dumbass friends probably convinced her to leave. Here I was happy that she had a good job, things were going well for her, we were getting over each other, and now she's turned back to me for emotional support, and it's hard. She's already is huge debt and now these lawyers and court fees will suck her dry. It's a nightmare, there's not a whole lot I can do, but I'm doing what I can. I feel bad for her but part of me wants to smack her. Such a stupid thing, just don't fucking drink and drive people, how many times do you have to be told this??!?!
Anyway, that's pretty much the only bad thing going on in my life right now. Started selling arcade games and getting rid of crap around the house so i can move out soon. Would like to be out in a month but it will probably be two months. My roommate wants to stay in the house, but will need a new roommate. Haven't found anyone yet, although i don't' think she's really looking all that hard. If I move out, and she still hasn't moved anyone in, I'll need to have her leave and move in strangers. Which I would really rather not do, cause then I would need to get ALL my stuff out of the house, and was hoping to keep some of it there until I get my shop. So we'll see.
Also, 12 years later, finally installing A/C in the battle van. Replaced my deep cycle battery with a larger one, and adding a third. Got a big ass inverter, and modifying a window A/C unit and mounting it on the roof, which is awesome because then I can run it with the engine off, and divert it to either the front cab or the rear area. And with the 2 big batteries it should run for a good 8 hours. I freakin love building shit like this. I can't wait to be off the grid :)
