Still Alive

Well, I’m still here, believe it or not. It’s been a hectic few weeks, both scheduling and emotionally. To be honest, I’m in a pretty crappy mood right now. I went through a whole emotional fly-high-crash-burn cycle yesterday, and I haven’t quite recovered. Damn, it sucked. P-Lo, thanks for dinner yesterday. I had a great time, and the whole crashing part has nothing to do with you. As usual for me, I started off pissed at someone else and eventually realized that I’m the one I need to be pissed at. *sigh* Hopefully I’ll get my head out of my ass and figure out what to do about all this.

 

Cinco De Mayo!

Well, it was Cinco De Mayo, and now it’s officially Sies De Mayo. Which means it’s time to say “Happy Birthday Nicky!”
Now I’m going to bed.

 

Technical Note

Things I’ve learned over the last two weeks:

  • WRXs have boost guages marked in mega-pascals. I don’t know what a pascal converts to, but Pat claims it’s 100kPa = 1 bar.
  • When buying a torque wrench, make sure you’re buying one designated in foot pounds, not inch pounds. Even the sales guys won’t notice the difference when you go to return it. Twice.
