BlogMelissa bought her and myself radio control cars that fit on the end of a pen. How a pen and a radio control car could possibly relate to each other I don't know, but I do know it's fun to torture the cat with the
little cars. After awhile, he figured out they
could not hurt him and the entertainment value dropped, but not significantly. A cat chasing quarter sized RC cars just has an amusing quality all it's own.
For those of you holding out, you missed your chance. The house is SOLD as of today. Only a few more weeks till closing, then it's goodbye Redford, hello 6-car garage. I'll be calling on all friends to help move so if you have a bad back I'd recommend leaving town soon.
Almost four months ago, my
supercharger died on my
Cougar. After a long process of yelling on the phone and waiting for the replacement it finally arrived a week ago. Today I managed to assemble a crew and after waiting for a house inspection to get done, we
put it back in. We discovered a rotten battery cable assembly that had to be repaired first, then had to prevent my dad from going to jail (due to a conflict with the owner of my new home) which pushed the completion time back to late evening. The test run was successful, and I wept openly as the boost kicked in. Unfortunately it was discovered that the oil feed line had ruptured, and no parts store that carries it will be open till Monday. Thanks to
Stavos, Zalec and Jaged for the help.
After being
kidnapped by enorym, the mighty Joseph had to face the wrath of
hurricane Charley. After some initial play-by-play reporting, contact was lost with the former TJ Hooker TV series star, current condition unknown.
This photo was taken shortly before contact was lost. The evidence of a close hurricane combined with the lack of vodka does not lend itself to a high survivability rate, but our hopes are with the Joseph and his wife Lavonne. If anyone is near the left turn lane in Whorelando, FL and happen to see the toll booth in tact, please contact this concerned friend. WE LOVE YOU JOSEPH!
Unfortunately for me, I happened across a fellow Cougar owner at
Cougarfest who found a head unit that fit the Cougar beautifully. I have held off on an aftermarket system due to the crazy din and a half sizing on the car, and the lack of interesting available product. Once I discovered that this one not only fits beautifully without any nasty faceplates but plays DVD-Video, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, VCD, CD, CD-R/RW and MP3/WMA-Encoded CD-R/RW Discs I knew I had to have it, regardless of cost. $800 and an e-bay trade later I was in posession of the device and tonight it has been installed. Oh glorious day! To celebrate, my fiance and I watched XMen 2 in the car, sans popcorn.
What to do for dinner?
Shish Kabob of course! Short on skewer holders? Try paving bricks, they work wonders on the grille! With a
master chef at work, the end result has got to be good. Add some vegetables, a few bugs and voila,
happy couple.

Melissa and I decided there simply wasn't enough monkeys throwing poo in the immediate area, so we decided to go to the
Toledo Zoo to up our poo-flinging chances. The poo-flinging was never observed, but fortunately there were enough other animals to keep us entertained.
Today I had two seperate power outages. One at 10:43AM - 12:01PM, and another 7:59pm - 10:02pm. Both were more than long enough to exhaust the UPS battery on my server, so the website was unavailable for a few hours. While some signs point to a suicidal squirrel that took a dive into a transformer, I'm inclined to believe that once again the Woodward Dream Cruise had something to do with the power interruption. We're getting close to the anniversary of the "
Great Power Outage of 2003" which we all know was caused by the very same cruise. Todays outage was just a warmup for what the cruise ultimately has in store for us. Don't say I didn't warn you.
