What a day. The first thought that comes to mind is “the best laid plans of mice and men.” That’s what today was. Sure, I planned on driving to West By God, but not as late as I did. Nope, not gonna break rule 1, other than to say that I’m pretty tired right now, and I got some O rings comming. They still have Shoney’s out here, unlike back home.
The people here are very nice. Kind of strange, but welcome at the same time.
I tried uploading some new pix, and the FTP kept crapping out. Seems like the webhost servers’ home drive has filled up. I got my pix uploaded by deleting some unneeded files and quickly uploaded what I needed to. Hopefully the admins are aware of this and they get some bigger drives soon.
Well, I encountered an issue with the fuel system. I have to re plumb the upper fuel system. Unfortunately it’s got fuel in it now, which is gonna be a hassle. And I have to replace the fuel injector seals. Meh, done it once, I’ll do it again.
The good news is that the new stainless lines are on the car. Woot! I’m considering this a major accomplishment. One of the clips that holds the union for the flexible lines is a real pain to get off. I won, nuf said. I really have to dump some pix and post them in the gallery.
I just about ROFL’d right there in 7-11.
Next up: Paper Dragons.
That’s right, I’m starting to keep the tech down on the off hours. Anyway, I got through round two at the DMV, and I got my plates comming. Woot! Funny thing, back in teh day, the 914 was said to have a computer controlled EFI onboard, but looking at it now, I’d be hard pressed to call it a CPU (no IC Chips). I have a spare somewhere, if I find it I’ll try to get in and see what’s in the large sardine can.
You’ve lost another viewer.
One of the rare TV shows I looked forward to each week was “The Unit”. I say this in past tense because I’m tired of recording it, only to find out something has time shifted the air times, probably some sports event. I’m not a sports fan, and the one sporting event I did like to watch was WRC on Speedvision, but they stopped showing it. And you know what, no matter how good a show is, I will not be a slave to air times, patiently glued to the set, waiting for my beloved show to come on. Not gonna do it.
Think I’ll play some Forza 2.
It all averages out. DMV was an experience, and in my good fortune I got a good rep. Unfortunately a form was missing as well as a small section to be filled out on the old title. Bummer, but I know it’ll all flow smooth tomorrow when I go back, and not all up in a bunch.
I guess it’s all part of the game, but I’m at the DMV. Number’s almost up.
