travis' brain dump

Wow, the days this week are just dropping one by one. With that, it’s seriously closing in on my deadline of May 25th to finish some of my projects at home and work. Luckily the work projects are almost complete. Some things have shifted which has made my life easier with those, but the ones at home… well yeah.

I skipped working on the room last night seeing as how I was so busy with the car. Hooking up those water lines to the turbo took a little longer than anticipated due to some spacing issues. I had to pick up a new fitting this morning to switch the rear waterline from a 45 degree angle exit from the turbo to a 90. Stupid thing was hitting the firewall and making a little racket this morning. Now I just have to get the 45 out – which is going to be a pain. I may just cut it out to save myself the hassle of pulling the turbo off again.  *shrug* it was only $13 – worth the waste to save an hour if you ask me. All in all though the car seems to run a bit better with the cooling addition so hey, bonus. I think I’m going to need to take the car out and retune it though, lol. This turbo is a little different than my other one, however it’s not a huge difference so it shouldn’t be too hard.

My goal for tonight… prime the walls in that room before getting on FFXI and getting Rank 5. Andy will shoot me if I miss tonight so I better get on it as soon as I get home. Him and Ashleigh are coming up tomorrow for SG Friday and FFXI so he will have an opportunity to smack me if I don’t do this, lol. Have you ever seen Andy mad? Pray you don’t. LOL

Just over a week until Arwen’s birthday. I’ve got to get on the ball with some of that stuff too. Need to figure out the food and stuff for next week. Amanda is going to help out with some of that stuff, so I’m not too worried. She’ll be up Friday and volunteered to help out with Arwen’s cake and some other things, so I’m not actually that worried about it – it’s not all that bad. I just need to do some shopping for some stuff for Arwen. As long as I get this stuff I have to finish cleared out and don’t procrastinate it to the point it doesn’t get done, I will be quite happy. Gotta stop pushing stuff out, it’s such a bad habit. 🙁

Well, I’ve got some things I need to get finished up before I head out on some site visits this afternoon.
