good god another weekend

lol, I have this title saved as a favorite because that is always what I say, wow another weekend.... well I could write a book with all that have done sence my last post on here but I will justgive you the cliff notes

well friday I went to cherie & Robs lace and looked at their trailer and aired up his trailer tires for him
and then sense it was a rainy weekend me and jeremy cleaned out the garage so we could start working on cars in the garage during the day sense the city is being a bunch of doushes, here is a pick of it 90% done, all I have to do is move the air compressor that I got from the coke head across the street and move some boxes to storage and it will be done good enough for me..... this winter I am going to build some utility trailers aswell so I need the space


I get the daytona turd in the garage and then as I bang my head I see the flash of the camera it is rare that I am in pics but jeremywas all excited like a kid on christmas day and he managed to snap a few before I could take the camera away... oh well I am off to bed, I have to be up EARLY today so I can finish getting things put away and then go to the car lot and help Amy while John is at the hospital

new welder

well today I got an incredible deal at the Maumee valley Habitat for Humanity's RE-Store, I had originally went there for a new back door for the garage and a screen door for the breezway (more later) but I stumbled across this little gold mine... a 1979 hobart welder
gotta love that 1979 built like a brick shithouse design, it weighs almost 400 pounds and came with 40' of welding cables so I can leave it in the garage and weld outside..... the best part was the price, I offered $25 and the manager said $75, then he said "well your a regular here and you did give us that pallet of ceramic tile last year so why not split the difference" so I walked out of there with a welder and a new gate latch for $55.00 and does it work great! granted I spent the money for the new doors but I just couldnt pass this up considering I was bidding on a damn near identical welder on ebay and decided I didnt want to pay the $200 something that it was bid up to... oh well so I spent the money I had set aside for putting doors that lock on the garage because krista ( the broad that lives with us til the end of the month) dumpped her boyfriend and he is turning into a problem FAST and the last thing I need is all my hard earned stuff to walk away.

rainy day

well I didnt get much done todaybecause I slept until bout 2:00 today, mostly because I cant wake up when it is raining,,.... dont ask why but I just cant.

last night was a fiasco, nevr made it to south bend, too much happened at once and I was needed in town (damnit) everything that could go wrong did, the fuel pump in jeremys truck gave up it's ghost and this chris chinny guy turned out to be a real joke as he tried for 4 hours to fix one of kristas struts on her car, so me and my mom drove up to lambertville so I could fix the car and her to calm down krista and keep her out of my way after much messing around about 1 am I finally fix this jokers f-up and we all go home... I'll tell ya what, for him being a race car builder / driver he sure dosent know his ass from a tree stump.... finally I called him on his BS he has been spewing and he got pissed off at me (whoptie-doo) but hey if bullshit was music this guy wold be a brass band and after hearing so much I had to say something.... oh well

good god another weekend


wow, hard to believe that I have pissed another week away.... the only fun thing that has happened was we went offroading out at TnI out by the airport. tomorrow i am going to south bend indiana to pick up a new log splitter, with the cost of natural gas skyrocketing I am going to heat with as much wood as I can this year and see how it goes. last year I heated the garage with a wood burning furnace that I built and it worked well, however this winter I am going to buy a wood burning insert for the fireplace with a blower to blow the heat back into the room... I figure that and sealing the house tighter then a ticks ass will help keep the already rediculous heating bills in check....

I do have one hunch though..... I have been thinking about this upcomming winter and I have a good hunch that we will have had some form of frozen precipitation by haloween.... however I think this winter won't be a real wet one but a cold one

being sick sucks - update to the weekend


friday night was a no-show with this chris chiluhy guy, but he does have a budget racing car in the super stock class but he was not driving..... why waste the $25 to get in to see his car make a left hand turn for 50 miles, LOL. saturday I came down with something resembling the flu and that is strange for me because I rarely get sick, I can count on atleast one cold per winter and that usually happens right in the middle of a big storm while I am plowing and out freezing my ass off( I dont have any pics of that) but when I first started plowing almost 7 years ago I used some pretty primative equipment to get the job done and I was always cold and sick, but back then $100 an hour just sitting on my toosh was verry appealing to me, this year I am itting in a heated leather seat playing a real life videogame and I will watch the other trucks make me money this year for a change, I have always feared growth i my plowing biz but I guess there is a time when you have to get bigger and grow and increase revenue to make profits

enough of that ....on sundayI went to the good old GM park & shine and killed a few sets of batteries in my new kodak Z-650 digi cam and had a good time with jeremy and trish and the kids, monday was a blur do to being in bed til about 3 in the afternoon after a night from hell with some of the most relentless heartburn I ever have had, yesterday was good with an exception of the rain but it pissed me off that I had to empty our new garbage cans into the back of the city garbage truck myself or tey wuldnt take them because they are 39 gallons instead of 34 which is the largest can allowed, I think that having to buy more new 34 gallon cans is bullshit, I mean think about it, I can put 50 55 gallon garbage bags out at the roa and the city will take every single one, and as a matter of fact I have before IE: after our basement floded like earlier this year I got some friends together and we hauled out 48 garbage bags, 2 sets of bedding, a sofa sleeper set and a few chairs... atleast they took it all........ so in all reality what difference does 5 gallons make?

today I got a new toy, the neighbor across the road was hurting for cash so I bought back the air compressor I built for him last winter, I figured what the hell I need a new one sence I blew up my little one working on Roberto's trailer last month and the fact that he sold it to me for $50 Josh is a cool guy but drugs are screwing up his life so I try not to associate with him too much, I just keep an eye out for strange things is all, hence why I have a video survalence camera pointed at his house all the time and a few others around the yard.... some people never notice how observant I am until I tell them something that they themselve didnt even know, well tomorrow s another day and hopefully everything will go according to plan and I can make it to michigan to sell some cisco network switches I have laying around

the pretender

well ths krista broad that has been living with us has decided that she needs another new boyfriend and she found one, this guy is a piece of work and is taking her for a ride, lol

here is a list of things that this guy supposably owns;

a 2006 f-350
a 40' race trailer full of race cars
6 more race cars
a 10 bay shop on alexis road
and he knows everyone that you talk about knowing even Seth McDoogle ( fictious name)

but the best part is that as of yet he has not driven any vehicle to the house, nor showed me any of this stuff that he keeps bragging about, he said to go to toledo speeday friday to see his cars... I guess all I have to loose s $10 in gas

I swear to god I will never buy another car on EBAY




boy did I get fucked... with a capitol F this is the story about thursdays evening oddesy to get my new project car

we finally got our act in gear and drove the durango around the 75/475 loop to see if it would strand us... then we hopped on the turnpike and tried to make the deadline for picking this pile of shit up. we got there and the guy wasnt even home... great... we start looking over the car and discover that it has a flat tire, double great... the chick there says that she will call him and that he is about 10 min away... cool we can use the jack and spare for the car... NOPE gone... so we decide to just load it on the dolly anyways... that didnt work too good... so now we have a road blocked off trying to load this fricking car.... the guy finlly shows up and he looks at us nad says sorry I dont have a spare or tools great...me and jeremy finally get this damn car loaded after 20 minutes and the dousche didnt even help push it.... I finally get over to him only to see him forge someone elses signature on the title, I askWTF is this and he said that it was just in his fathers name... something didnt sound right, the mileage didnt match on the odometer and he didnt have the motor that he said he did but I was getting tired and wanted to just go home so we headed back finally at midnight. we stop about 20 miles down the road for a chance to hit the can and get some soda whenjeremy starts looking over the car in the light....and we find this... yes thats a broken bellhousing on the transmission... talk about feeling your stomach hit the soles of your shoes.... we finally looked it over and got our goodies and headed home. today me and jeremy spent most of the day trying to make this car run but it didnt happen. now I have 2 junk cars in the driveway... great!













I think I will be alot happier when I get this damn car to start up.
