Weekend

Boy it was a long weekend. I didn't go to the weekly Applebee's on Friday this week. I didn't have any money because of the aforementioned brake change. Plus I had to work on Saturday morning. Then on Saturday a few friends of mine were trying to get together to have a bon fire but one who said he was going to go said, when I called him on Saturday, said that he decided to make other plans. So we went without him. It was fun, and if anyone who was there reads this, yes I did have fun. I'm not going to go into too much detail to save the innocent, or not so innocent, but I think everyone that went with me had fun as well. I hope they did and my being there didn't bring them down. It was a long night last night, that is for sure. I didn't get home until 3:30am.

Then today my sister, brother-in-law, my father, and I went to dinner for fathers day. It was in Warren and I'm not sure of the name of the restaurant. It was very good. I had lasagna per my sisters suggestion and it was a good one. The portions were, to put it lightly, HUGE. I ate about a third of it and I was stuffed. Hey, lunch for work the next two days. I don't know if my Dad reads this or not, but if you do, happy fathers day Dad.

Oh, and earlier I washed my car. I really washed my car. I used the Mr Clean car wash thingy and it works pretty good. It does what it says it does. Well, except on my windows, but that is my fault because I have rain X on them so they bead up no matter what. Then I waxed my car. I bought, what is in my opinion, the best wax you can buy. I did the black trim. I made the tires look like they are wet, even if they are not. And I put more Rain X on the windows. Rain X is the best thing for your windows of your car. If you haven't used it in the past you have to try it. Don't bother with the off brands, go for the real thing. Now my car drives like new and looks like new. IT IS SHINY!! :) And now my Mom is going to drive it to Boston and back. I'm not real happy about that but I am a nice guy so I am letting her drive it. ONLY HER though. I just hope that it comes back the way it will leave.

Well, on to another week of work.
And remember, don't drink and drive.
If you drink, don't drive.

UPDATE: I just wanted to let you know that I have added the Rain-X website to my list of links on the right. Also on the main page you can look up your car to see what size wiper blades it takes. Even if you don't use Rain-X items, this can be a helpful tool. Laters.

Saturday

I got a new grill today. I bought a Weber charcoal grill. I haven't used it yet but it looks pretty good. The store that I bought it from said that assembly would cost $30! I said no way and I put it together myself. It took me a total of 8 min. It was not hard at all and definitely not worth $30.

I also got my car inspected today. I knew my brakes were bad, but I was hoping the car would pass anyway. It did not, I needed new front pads and they had to resurface the rotors, the total for everything including a oil change was $207. That took a very big chunk out of my paycheck.

Went to a steak cook out today with my Mom and her boyfriend. It was stupid. They started the grill just as everyone got there so everyone started putting their steak on (you had to cook your own, which I prefer) when the grill was still way too cool to cook right. Then the steaks were still mostly frozen. How about you thaw the steaks before you try cooking them? So everyone cooked their steaks, which took way too long, they ate the steaks and barely talked and then just left. Nothing else to do or anything. Free steak is good, but kinda pointless. It was cold too, but that was a surprise.

I rented Scary Movie 3 today and it was very funny. The best one yet. The little kid just couldn't keep safe. If you haven't seen it yet, go and rent it.

So when I went up to check my e-mail etc online I turned on my TV Comedy Central and what comes on but none other than The South Park movie, bigger, longer, uncut. Now, what surprised me was that it was still uncut. EVERYTHING was left in. All the swearing and crude language, all the cartoon nudity like the seen with Kenny going up to heaven and the Saddam seen. I have to say that I was very surprised they actually played it on TV without a change. I'm not complaining just surprised, especially after all the threats from the FCC for indecentcy. Yes, I did watch the whole movie, I haven't seen it since I saw it in the theatre.

Ok, that's too much for one post. Catch ya...

Nothin'

Hello,

Not much to say today. I finally got a comment about the new look. I do plan on posting a pic of me, no not to scare you away. When I have some more time I will make some comments on some of the articles in Scientific American magazine. There has been some interesting things in there and I would like to put my thoughts out there as well. Other than that I don't really have much to say. Things are still going well at work.

Crash,
