More below besides CHC Plugging!
Another still from Cold Hard Cash. (My favorite part of the film. If you don't have it yet then you have no idea what I'm talking about. Those of you that do...what do you think? You agree?
Don't own the Bootleg yet? Why not?! Can't afford it? Write to me I may be able to get you a discounted price.
GET IT HERE!
On another note, and before I say this let me just say, yes I know most of my journal entries lately have been about CHC and the pushing of that....yes I know. I'm making my cash back...I kinda need too. Everytime I post I sell three DVD's. That being said...I have had a huge problem journal posts by SG's lately. I know this statement may offend a few of you and really thats only half my intention.
Please for the love of god post about something other than your cute little dog or some new tattoo you got. This site is so over saturated with the same personality. It's fucking crazy. It's like to be an SG you have to be into all the same shit. Mind you not everyone does this. I love the journal postings that MAXI does when she posts shots of foods she has eaten, but when I click on my subscribed journals every morning its the same goddamn thing page after page. "Check out my cute dog, check out my sweet tattoo, why do other girls post angry tags about me?." Ladies I know you are much more interesting than all this. At least try to break the trend here. Tell us some stories, show us something new. What are you reading? Where are you drinking? What inspires you? If its your dog then..."sigh"
Ok so now that I have pissed you off and asked for an interesting journal I suppose I should do the same. So here goes:
So what have I been up to?
A few weeks ago we had the worst heat wave here in Boston. It reached fucking 107 degrees, well at least it said so on my van thermometer. It was also at that moment that I learned my AC in the car didn't work. yay! So I priced out the cost of charging the vans AC.
Guess what the start price is for that?
$200!!
That doesn't include any leak repairs, It's $200 to get started! Being that I was an airplane mechanic in another life I decided I should just do it myself. So I did what anyone would do these days and googled "charging your air conditioning." I stumbled across a do it yourself kit:
I found out that the kits to do this are actually very inexpensive, around $40 bucks. It looked simple enough to do online. They told you to look at the compressor and if it wasn't squealing and if the center of it wasn't turning chances were that the coolant pressure was too low for it to work. They showed you a step by step diagram of where to hook up the new coolant and how to fill it. Reading all this got me pumped to do it. Fuck the man, that $200 is mine and would stay mine. Charged with a new task I walked out of my air conditioned room into the 100 degree heat and suddenly lost my motivation. It was like the world decided to slow down. I hate the heat. Look at my SG Icon picture..I love the snow.
Anyway, I pull my self outside and lift the hood of my minivan and suddenly I one quick flash memories of why I don't work on cars flooded my brain. My engine, in the genius wisdom of some engineer, was jammed back mostly under the vehicles firewall. Putting all the coolant tubes in the most hard to reach places. At this point my back was soaked with sweat, and my patience had evaporated with the sweat on my forehead. What was a man to do?
Six pack of beer, and the kiddie pool I had bought the week before for a photoshoot seemed like the only answer. Needless to say I didn't fix the AC, and the heatwave has since passed. I'll be god damned if I will pay $200 for it...I'll just roll down the fucking windows.
