well not much is going on right now. tomarwo is my birthday and i will be turning 21. one thing that i hate is now the older i get the faster time seams to go. we got a lot of rain the other day which changed over to snow overnight which was cool. not enogh to cover the ground, just the cars. my brother took a ride up the mountain and i guess just a couple hundered feet above us they had around 8 inches of snow. well i guess that is all for now, bye!

well a lot has been going on lately. i am 21 now. i voted which was very cool even though the guy i voted for didn't win. i also bought a new toy, a Hi Point 9mm carbine. i haven't fired it yet but i am hoping to do so soon. we are cutting down and removing some really big trees for a freind of our dad's. we borowed a trailer for moving the wood so that is cool. the trailer that we have isn't built for carrying heavy stuff but with the other trailer we can carry a lot more wood. we are in the middle of moving stuff around in the house so right now everything is a mess. well got to go, bye!

Since i had never heard of hi point firearms, I checked a few websites. I see some for a round $100. Did you get that kind of a deal? Let us know after you have gone through a few rounds what you think. I checked a firearms review site and it sounds like they're pretty good guns considering they're so cheap.

So you had a birthday and now you're too old for a journal??? It's been 10 days since you've posted anything new. Sorry about your cat. Being the person that actually finds the dead pet is especially hard. I hope you're OK man. How's the car projects going? How's the driving?

the car is going good. i am in the middle of replacing some of the hoses on the engine. we have had two of them blow so i am replacing all of them. i can't do any work on the car right now because of weather but it looks like saterday and sunday are going to be a little warmer. also we need to order a hose off of the internet because autozone doesn't have it. to get to the hoses that needed to be replaced i had to disconect a lot of the vacuum system on the engine. i like working on cars but it isn't as much fun when it is cold outside. well got to go, see ya'll later.

well lets see if i can get back into updating this thing. a lot has been going on lately. we took a lot of clothes to the good will store about a week ago so that is cool. there is a problum with part of the airbag system on our one van that i need to fix. i am going to have to remove the drive side airbag to replace a wire that connects to the airbag. i have never worked on the airbag system before so this will be fun. i got the honda back up and running a while ago so that is cool. my brother and sister and i went down for church on sunday and i probbly should have stopped to get as before heading home because the whole way home i was checking the computerand it was showing how far we could go with the fuel that we had. by the time i pulled into the driveway it siad that we only had enough gas to drive 2 miles. well i guess that is it for now, later!

well friday was kind of slow. i fixed the airbag problume on the minivan which was fun. it took a lot longer then i thought it would because i had to make a steering wheel puller to remove the steering wheel. i spent maybe 15 minutes making a puller only to find out i drilled the holes too far apart so i drilled another set of holes. this time the holes lined up but when i tried to remove the wheel the puller started to bend becuase i had drilled the holes close to the edge of the metal. we ended up buying a puller from autozone and was able to get the wheel off in less then 5 minutes. this was the first time i have ever worked on the airbag system so that was cool. we watched the last episode of stargate atlantis on friday. i am kind of sad that they aren't going to be making any new episodes. i am excited though because sometime in summer they are coming out with a new series called stargate univerus which sounds really cool. it snowed all day yesterday and we got maybe 4 to 6 inches. i bought memory for my computer becuase the memory that i was using was from onther computer. i bought the most the computer will support and it came yesterday. i installed it and it is a lot faster now, i went from 128MB (or 256mb i forget) to 1gb. i am thinking about trying to make a version of linux that looks like the LCARS computer system from startrek and one that looks like the computer system from stargate atlantis. well got to go, see yall!

very cool video. that would be a fun thing to try. i've never heard of that guy before, i'm going to have to look at some of the other videos.

well yesterday was slow, i hate days like that. we went the autozone to get a can of spray stuff for the belt on the accord engine because it has started squealing when you start the engine and when you come to a stop at a light and stuff. the engine is also idling really rough so i want to look into that. it is a carburated engine not fuel injected so it is a little bit more complicated. Today is my sister's birthday so Happy Birthday to her

i have to make her a card so i am going to do that after i'm done typing this. it looks like it is going to get pretty cold around the end of the week, Thursday night they are calling for it to get down around -8F, that will be cold. friday the high is only going to be 5F. i am thinking about starting the conversion van and letting it run for a short time, like a few seconds because it doesn't have a muffler. i want to see how easly it will start because the fuel in the tank is several years old and it is using a boat battery that is only rated for i think 160 reserve amps or something (i guess boat batteries aren't rated in cold cranking amps). i might have to charge the battery for a short time but if history repeats itself it should fire right up. well i guess that is it for now, bye!
