So I guess it's been some time since I've posted anything of substance here. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever really post much substance in my own journal, simple updates and a few yammerings of what's going on. Guess this will be one of those things ( Read more... )

Yeah.. glad it's Friday. Had to do some hard line brake line work earlier this week. That was interesting, not my favorite thing to do but it all worked out well and Max has good brakes again. And his rear sway bar isn't groaning like he's being flogged. Got half remounted and the other half almost loose. So I just drive nicely for the time being. ( Read more... )

Damn glad it's Friday. No real plans this weekend, help a friend move some Saturday morning, rest, play video games, and if I get a chance to work on him, drop the axle and finish the welding on the rear sway bar. The groaning is driving me thorougly nuts ( Read more... )

Since realkate tagged me, and no I don't do the links to users, so people will have to figure it out, I guess I have to write 6 things people don't know about me. Well.. I dunno who will or won't know any of the six things so I'll go for it, I guess.. hmph ( Read more... )

Enjoy anyone who likes cars, autocrossing and Porsches (and of course some non-porsches like me. Heheh)

Tired as usual.. played pool last night on the league, beat a 6, I'm a 3, that's a big thing.. he didn't like it and talked about luck afterwards, oh well. Guess there's no chance I had any skill. Somewhat cranky this morning, dunno.. hope the mood improves.. maybe some breakfast will help. But anyhow yay me for winning. Oh and Happy Birthday, ( Read more... )

Back at the gym finally... worked out a few days last week and then yesterday.. body aches a bit in protest after a couple of weeks of slacking and unhappy forearm tendon. Feels good, though. NIN is tonight, should be a good time with the whole of us going... probably take a half day tomorrow to sleep in, not really wanting to be exhausted. A week ( Read more... )

Man... so freaking tired.. stayed up too late all week.. got a nice semi-cold air intake for the GTI, not quite down the bumper but away from the engine, just on the outside of the battery, no worrying about hydro-lock and colder air. Rear sway bar is on back order but if I'm lucky, will ship tomorrow or maybe Monday. Then I'm in a holding pattern ( Read more... )

I guess it's another day.. Thursday at least, getting close to the weekend. Work has been a measure of hell recently, but I got another increase the other day. 5% is 5% and I'm not going to say no. Time is closing on the Autocross in April, trying to scrounge up the cash to get my rear sway bar before then to help keep the front wheels on the ( Read more... )

Almost New Years and Christmas has passed... had a great time, think I mentioned that. Turns out I dig the PSP, fancy that. The razor kicks much ass and saves me morning time too. All the other good stuff is good.. springs should be here for my car soon, gotta order a few other assorted suspension parts for it and a rear sway bar, gonna make a lame ( Read more... )
