Things are... going along. Lots of work and sitting around, not enough play. :P Tomorrow my friend Tim and myself are taking our Starions/Conquests to the drag strip for a test and tune night. We need to figure out why his car is detonating under high enough load and I just get to... race my car. :]
However, I've got to install a new alternator in the car tomorrow. The remanufactured unit I had in the car was beginning to crap out so I managed to get it replaced with the lifetime warranty it has (I'm glad I kept the receipts, this is the second time I've had to do it). However, a friend of mine should be setting up a different alternator for me to use tomorrow. The new reman is getting sold so I can hopefully recoup my losses. Assuming he has it ready. If not, I get to install the reman and replace it later. That thought pleases me. :P
On another note: Since I've been able to, I've always tried to live my life roaming a wandering path. Letting life take me where it will with minimal intrusion. Go with the flow, as they say. So far it has worked rather well, surprisingly. However, now I find myself forcing my hand and trying to steer the path a different way. Forging myself in a direction I'm not sure I should go, or at least forcing myself for what could be the wrong reasons. Reasons I'm not sure will come to fruition. This fact has been a subject of great concern and conflict with myself as I'm heading into the unknown. Leaving what I know is safe, secured and familiar for what I don't know what lies ahead and could easily be a rocky journey.
I find myself constantly reminding myself that I would rather forge the unknown future and gain nothing than sit around with hopeful wishes and wondering what could have happened.
