ok i won't wait for long though
I'm home from my trek to OH & PA. It was a swell weekend. (I'll think of better adjectives when my brain isn't shutting down due to fatigue.)
Stirfry & emojulie's wedding was by far the best one I have ever attended. As a man much cooler than I said, "The bar has been raised."
Only six more hours until the workweek starts anew....

Yay for getting to see you and free PBR.
Boo for having to work for money.

SLIGHT CHANGE IN PLANS:
Since I spent all day today playing phone tag with the State of Michigan Treasury Department, no PA trip will be attempted tonight. Instead, I'll go to Ohio either tonight or tomorrow morning.
Hmm...this will require some thought. I think I'll do some dishes while I contemplate this dilemma.
{update many hours later}
Well, I did the dishes. Of course, one...

Awwwwwww!
It's no secret I like acronyms, so here's a list of the most recent acronyms I have used. Who knows, maybe you'll print this list & use it as a handy-dandy translator.
SYH = Shut Your Hole (stems from my telling more backstory than story)
TACOM = [United States] Tank-automotive & Armaments Command (Detroit Arsensal)
SOP = Standard Operating Procedure
GULP = Greater Upper Lower...

Shop air is cheating. 
Amusing anecdote: I could never get the hang of tying balloons off until an ex, long ago, taught me how to tie the end of a condom.
Every time I tie the first balloon in a batch, I have to laugh as I remember how he threw it across the room and I shrieked in terror. He sort of looked at me and said, "Oh. Baby. Relax. I tied the end."
TMI? Perhaps. Funny to me? Hell yes.

No trip to the GULP for me. 
Instead I went off to TACOM for a possible contract position. More money, no benefits (not like I use them all that much anyway).
We shall see how it pans out.

What's an SYH?

I'm tired (proper pronunciation: "taaaaaarred").
Oh well. One more day of servitude until the weekend. Tomorrow also brings that little slip of paper detailing how much my rich uncle (who's deeper in debt every day) skimmed off the top.
Joy.

I put a deposit down on the truck today.
stiles:
I'm flying down to Florida some time late next week, after the funds clear.
My truck now has a nice, shiny, billet steel flywheel. He's quite happy with it too. Best $75 (plus $20 shipping plus $35 resurfacing) I ever spent on eBay.
Next item to upgrade? Finish rebuilding the front suspension. Those upper ball joints & A-arm shafts aren't getting any younger.
After that? Bodywork.
I think I'd better get a garage (preferably with a house attached) &...

Weekend Plan:
Saturday: Work. Bleh. Might replace my flywheel. After all, I have a $75 billet steel flywheel (normally $300) just sitting in my shotgun wheelwell. That night? Beats me.
Sunday: Uhh...beats me. Probably (perish the thought) CLEAN THE APARTMENT.
The horror!
Incidentally, tonight's pre-bedtime entertainment is Denis Leary's No Cure for Cancer.
That reminds me, I need to smoke.

Worked on Christa's Blazer today. The flexplate was completely broken, and out 0f the 6 bell housing bolts 3 were present, and were finger tight... . Should have it running tomorrow, just need to bolt on the starter and get some trans fluid in it. I don't think I messed up the TV cable adjustment, but if I did you may get a phone call .

Sunday I did my financial paperwork. Nothing too hard, just balancing the checkbook, updating my VISA bill spreadsheet, yada yada yada.
In the course of my financial stuff, I needed a #10 envelope. I knew I had a box of 50 somewhere in this apartment, but I'd be damned if I could find it. 550 square feet (less shelves...

yeah i do that with my keys

I'm sure you've all heard about Hypercrew by now. I guess it was naive of me to think I'd never have to experience what my parents & their generation went through thirty-odd years ago.
True I did not know Hypercrew all that well. It was more of a "friendly nod across the party" acquaintance. That still doesn't change the fact I know someone laid up...

Ravenclaws are the students who belong to Ravenclaw House (duh). They're the students who are witty and smart and would be known as the "grammar bitches", if that term existed in Harry Potter.
Gryffindor (which is Harry's house) holds those who are honest, loyal, brave, and all-around Good People.
Slytherins are evil muthafuckas, and not in a good way.
Hufflepuffs are the ones that don't really fit into any category. They're just sorta average and blend into the background. They're nice, but nothing really stands out about them.
When the first-years arrive at Hogwarts, they're sorted into houses by a Sorting Hat. It's placed on their head, and it "reads" their personality and so on. Then it shouts out which house they belong to, and they stay in that house until they finish their seventh year (the last year).

OH! And "Accio" is the spell for "get it". Like, if you want your remote to come from the table to your hand, you'd yell, "Accio remote!" All of the spells are based in Latin. I LOVE THAT.
There. Entry interpreted.
