By 3, I hope to be on a hike somewhere...

Well I can not give him your number if you would prefer. Friend of mine who welded my exhaust after I helped him fix his laptop. Nice guy.

Aliens?

No, where I work on my car is a friends barn and a snowmobile on trailer is supposed to be getting stored in a corner of it which means the center needs to be clear. So I can't start work till that thing gets dropped off and he keeps dragging his feet and changing when he's doing that. I can't even get the brakes off the Mazda that I need to cut until he does that, and I can't start working on the Celica till I get the Mazda brakes cut so I have a car to drive. It'll get done, just annoying me. I NEED to get the Mazda done sooner than later, I have a road trip and would rather drive it down to see my mother.

I'm assuming it'll be at some point shortly after the hike, maybe cruise straight into the city.

I'll have none of the things I wanted to do to the Celica done for this meet. Maybe for the next one. Outside influences keep interfering with me getting stuff done.

Me either frown.gif That's what the Summer meet is for!

Well then, this calls for 2 sad faces. frown.gif frown.gif
****, rained at the first one. Didn't stop us then! If it's a bit cold and there's a little drizzle it just means we'll have the place even more to our selves. Lets check out the canyons on the other side of the road or something.

Well my drivers side axle started making noise yesterday and the part won't be in until Friday morning. Which spoils my plan on leaving Omaha early on Friday so I could get in on a decent time. I hope and can get it installed (hoping nothing breaks) and be out the door by 11am.
My damn fasteners came in this evening. Guess what I'm going to try to do tomorrow on lunch? And the next day on lunch.

On the way home I noticed one of my fog lights out. I smacked the housing and it came back on.

Yeah, this has always been a rain or shine meet. So everyone should be prepared to hike through mud and cold water, and wear clothes that you're not afraid to get dirty.
From what's online so far it looks like it's going to be a pretty crappy day... Either way, I'm still coming. biggrin.gif

I'll try to make my car look as best as I can, but with that damn rain it can be difficult.

The rain actually made some pretty nice photos that one time.
So ready for after work tomorrow. I'm ready to get on the road and get the hell out of Ohio. It sucks and is boring here...lol
I'm glad because I am calling off work... I've only called off twice, this being the third... Only for a Celica meet. biggrin.gif

I do not have any motivation right now at work. I must really need a little time off. I just hope I can get my car fixed in a timely manner tomorrow morning.

Shouldn't take too long to swap out. Refilling the gear oil is the biggest pain if you don't have a pump.

We just got back from vacation and went back to work on Tuesday. I definitely don't have any motivation to be at work, especially when it means sitting through three hour meetings almost everyday. Bleh.

Good luck getting the car done tomorrow morning.

I like meetings. Its a good time to suck up to the higher ups. wink.gif. Aaaannnd that's why I'm next in line for my bosses job biggrin.gif

Never Forget. - 2013 Mustang. I miss you every day.
Next in line for my boss' job would mean at least double my current salary. It would be nice, but it's not that easy here.
If anybody can do it, it's you Stacy.

So let's take a vote on dinner after the meet:

Pizza:
Me and Brigette.


Hot Dogs:



Burger Place Of Which I have Forgotten The Name:



We can all stay in one large group for dinner or split up into smaller groups. If reservations are going to be made, it'd be nice to have a head count of who is going where. smile.gif
