It's raining out. I would *like* to wash, clay, polish (#$%&ing holograms, even though I told them not to touch it), Amigo, Epic and BG "that blue thing" but it'll have to wait for now

 

i need to vac the house and get that out of the way so that i can do car stuff on sat. i need to first get some oil... and a filter....hopefully tomorrow. i couldnt do any errands today.

hey, alex sent me replacement standard lugs because mine rusted (about 7-8months old). luv tirerack. they are the best.

 

I just picked up the house and Drew is taking the garbage out right now. Probably need to vacuum and we'll be good...for a few days anyway

I'm going to have no time to do anything until Monday morning. I have my annual review at work tomorrow morning, I work in the afternoon (although only til 5ish), I have to pick my mom up in Milwaukee on Saturday and take her home to Madison, then drive back here (and teaching my 15 year old niece to drive for some of that), and then Sunday I work from noon til probably 7. Sucky.

 

No official photo shoot pics yet...but for my friends here...





The second one is from when I very FIRST got in and I think the seat back was like in between settings...it went CRACK! and I was like "Oooo crap did I break something already??"

Credit to Drew for the pics, of course

 

congrats ML!!!

now THAT's a face with excitement.

 

oh wait, wat's the new MINI's name?

 

Josie!

...I guess I need to make a new sig

 

wow, that's a perfect name! nice choice in car and name.


thunder here... haven't heard that for a while...definitely getting into detailing season.

 

hail!

 

holycrap the thunder is like super super close!

 

<= my kid.

 

How big of hail??

 

Tonight I watched a show on National Geographic running through the scenario of no more crude oil. Basically, no more petroleum products, global market collapse, job losses, no more long distance travel, food can't be transported, mass die-offs, etc. Scary stuff. Somebody hurry up and invent a Mr. Fusion.

 

the hail was small maybe dime sized at best, but made a lot of noise because it was windy and hitting glass.

nabeshin - they should do a senario of no more oxygen. basically everyone turns blue and only thing living are roaches and obatarian.

 

No worries. The US will have a couple hundred years worth when the rest of the world runs out (if they ever do)... because we refuse to use any of ours.

Of course, by then, the Chinese will figure out how to siphon off all our reserves from long distance...

 

It is really foggy again today...I think the local schools have had 2-hour delays 4 out of 5 days this week thanks to the fog!

 

Got an appt for an oil change at South Bay MINI today. It's the "Annual low mileage" oil change.

 

Still all foggy-like out. This is worse than living in SF...at least the fog pulled back during the day there!

 

Have you seen the one on if all humans died off? All seemed lose fact narrow minded hypothesis, but if it gets good minds thinking I'm for it.

In KenLand that's time to trade up!

 

Nope, I love Geoffrey too much. I'm at nearly 39k. How many miles did Ken have when he let go of his?

 

12?



Just kidding, Ken!

 

nono, mine had 30K when i sold the R53.

got my silver caps today and filter...im ready to change the oil tomorrow on the FitS.

 

rain so no oil change today. but i might work on swapping out the G's wheels.

btw, i got a sears hardware catalog in the mail a few days ago. i checked it out this am. they have some really nice cabinets and shelves. bright red and black and just looks real nice.

even my music room is starting to be red and black ever since getting that red synth from Nord.

 

was going to do the wheel swap but then i would need to open the garage door... which means super humidty (raining) + cold metal bits inside the garage = condensation on car and my tools so i decided to postpone until tomorrow.

 

i dont think someone wants me changing oil on my fits cause now it's too damn windy. gusts up to 32mph. the oil's going to drip sideways.

postponed until later day.
