Looks nice. A lot hrs pounding and pulling?


I can't tell what I did this weekend. It was 914 related and if I tell my Santa suit will fall off. (Secret Project) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

But it did get me mistaken as an artist. Went into a art supply place. Bought a bunch of stuff and the guy at the checkout asked if I was working on a large commission piece. I guess wierd clothes, two days growth on my face and the gaunt look from having 4 hrs sleep made him think I'm Artsy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Need a cape and a wierd hat.

Worked on truck on Saturday, f'd up the pass. side spindle (wheel bearing failure at 70+mph, only thing holding the wheel on the truck was the brake caliper, I knew I should have replaced the bearings sooner....116,000 miles on the truck) new spindle will set me back $140....

Saturday night, met with realtor, selling our Antioch rental house
(4 bedroom, 2 bath, huge yard , currently set up as a duplex [upstairs/downstairs], but would make a nice single family home if you want to kick out the current renters) Capitol gains tax will suck, but I want to pay off some bills and "invest" some money into my machine shop.

Sunday......doing measuring and planning for new 10x16 workshop on side of house.

I drove my fiance in our new Yukon from Texas to Cali. Stopped by Vegas on the way out, played some slots and saw some titties. Moved all her stuff into my place that I am renting. Went househunting and saw something like 50 places to rent and only the first one we looked at and the last one were worth seeing again...closed on the last one we saw. Awesome place, 3 bedroom, 2 batch, 2 car garage, storage and close to work. Now I am catching up on all the e-mail that I missed.

Took the wife to San Francsico Saturday for lunch, a movie and dinner after. This in an effort to build up my brownie point supply for fishing trips upcoming on my calender. We saw the movie Gloomy Sunday which is about a guy who composed a song in the 30's that was so depressing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) that people would commit suicide (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) while listening to it. So on Sunday I locked myself in the music room and composed 7 different versions of the song on my Korg Triton sequencer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) . Was going to smear Ketchup on my wrists and have the song playing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) when wife returned from shopping but that would have wiped out the built up brownie point quotient.

In no particular order..

I worked my last few hours of my now previous vocation (it's not done, but I am!) I repainted my rockers, I found out my grandmother is not going to make it to Christmas, and I undid a deal on a guitar.

Guitars for sale.

Sat - Took the dog to Fort Funston in the 914, adding to the sand population of the car by a significant amount. Bought my christmas present (new computer) (from my gf) - got all the components except the processor (out of stock). Bought half of her christmas present (jacket) which was a fraction of the expected cost. Went to a friend's christmas party.

Sun - Went to Fry's early and got the processor - Fry's at 9 in the morning is the best Fry's experience we've had yet. Stopped at Barbeques Galore and picked up the second half of gf's christmas present (GRILL!) - they had everything except the main grill unit in stock (ARG!). Later we got the second half from the San Rafael branch (made it from Bernal Heights to San Rafael in 30 minutes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) ). We grilled veggies and shrimp for dinner - drank some nice wine and watched the first disk of "Lord of the Rings - Two Towers (Extended Edition)" in widescreen with DTS-ES sound. Home theatre kicks ass.

This weekend I went to the GF Xmas party. Lame. She won a 5 dollah gift Cert to Walmart. Somekinda boobie prize. Others got nice stuff. My Company ponyed up a free showing of Lord Of the Rings Return of the King for us. I guess thats better than a 5 buck gift cert to Walmart.

Took the GF to Dinner, and the movie Bad Santa. Great movie. I recommend it. Best Thorten flick ever. I spent friday with the boys, and talked about working on the car. Its cold though, so nothing was done.

Not the best weekend, but better than the others I've had.
