a little update…

ok… so I found a transmission *knock on wood*
I went and picked it up a little bit ago but it has a busted forward housing. This isn’t a huge issue seeing as how I just got a transmission for $300 that I need to swap my housing onto. I think I can deal with this. I am however frustrated that I have to add 2 hours to the workload, but hey, 2 hours for $200 not too bad. I was also able to score a part for Sharon’s car that will hopefully fix her issue with a noise in the front end. I got that for… FREE. Hey, if you’re gonna borrow someone’s car, at least return it in better shape than you got it right? 🙂
I’ve got to go out and clean the crap out of the garage now so I’ve got room to work. Then I need to go pick up some fluids and such for my tranny. It’s a shame I don’t have any more Redline… that stuff is awesome. I feel totally drained right now. I got jack for sleep last night and yeah… nothing like emotional stress on top having to figure out all this crap for the car. woo… friggin… hoo….
It’s okay though… If all goes well then here is my battle plan:
Tonight -> pull old trans (maybe swap housings)
Tomorrow -> swap housings if not done tonight, install new trans
Tomorrow Night -> drive again hopefully
Saturday -> final checks on bolts and stuff, work on Sharon’s car.
If all works out, I should be dead by Saturday evening, but the cars will run great.

You know… it’s amazing how blowing a $1,700 transmission up can’t ruin your evening, heh it doesn’t even upset you because you know it’s easy to fix despite the fact it will cost you your first born… But saying the wrong thing and upsetting someone you care about because you’re a F`NG IDIOT? That can just make you feel like the lowest form of life on earth and suck the life right out of you…  I suck… I swear someone should just shoot me. *sigh*
I’m just glad I’ve got a friend as awesome as I do. Sharon let me borrow her car so I could still get to work… At least she’ll get all the maintenance stuff she wanted and more done to it finally, heh. I really don’t think I deserve a friends as awesome as the ones I have sometimes…
most issues resolved…

ok… so after battling like mad with that blasted code, I think I’ve got this thing resolved. Personal and General posts alike will still appear to the public, however if marked “private” they will only appear to those users who have accounts within my blogsite. They may still be password protected however, so if you have passwords, you can use them on publically viewable secured posts and privately viewable secured posts alike. I may consider actually removing the register function on here however so that I can control who has access to the private sections all together. Either way at least I have some flexibility with this thing and can make some changes without having to worry if they will work or not. I’ve also resolved the posting crap so everything that should be up and viewable is. Sorry a couple of the posts were missing for a day or two. Gotta love it.
Anyway… going to go check the curing of the fiberglass resin on my front lip. 🙂 (repairing the busted front lip for my Rolla… nothing else to do… *shrug*)
later
some quotes… told you i was bored.
