travis' brain dump

hmmm… one must ponder. But hey, it’s only five days right? and Monday for all intent and purpose is over with… sort of.

I didn’t feel much like going near a computer yesterday, so a belated Happy Mother’s Day and such to you mothers out there, especially a few of ya. 😉

The rest of the weekend wrapped up pretty well. I got my hands on that other turbo (thanks Jessica!) Saturday night and got it fitted to my car. Luckily it was a direct match and all I needed to do was switch out my exhaust housing to the main unit so it would match up perfect on my car. It’s been working great and that aweful oil burning smell is gone! YAY! I scored a bonus with this thing though that makes me really happy. This one has openings for water cooling lines on it, so that means my turbo will be water cooled once I get some new fittings for it and tie it into my system. For right now it’s running fine though, the oil is running fine through it and in combination with the massive amount of airflow going over the back of the engine from the newly installed hood scoop, the turbo is running cool enough for the moment. I will be hooking up the water lines shortly though, that’s just awesome. It will make it much better for driving longer distances – not that I’m planning on doing that again anytime soon, lol. I’ll be doing some flying from here on out unless absolutely necessary.

Got in some good game time with Andy, Ashleigh and Mike this weekend. It was fun to have us all together again in-game and playing together. Now I’m hooked on getting some quests finished up. I think Andy has succeeded in getting me back into the game, LOL.

I do have to switch some focus though and get some stuff done around the house. I was unable to finished up that downstairs room this weekend due to the turbo situation, however I’m going to try to finish that here in the next day or two hopefully. I really need to just get it done and out of the way. I’m not sure if I’ll end up painting the walls or not other than priming them, but I’ll decide that based on if i can get some paint that will match the other walls. Not sure. A lot of work to get done and very little time. I seem to have a lot piling up but I’ve got to stay on top of it. I’m just glad things have calmed down around the house and it doesn’t seem like Grand Central Station since I got back from Mexico.

Well, I’ve got some things to get done, so I need to get to them.
