Look at that a week that didn't end with me having to replace the fuel pump in my car again. That's right the fuel pump from Napa has worked wonderfully...so far. But that has freed me up to actually enjoy this week and have some fun. Well most of it anyways.
While the car ran great this week the first drive was to yet another lame ass work meeting at 3pm for the final training session which of course was still lame except we did get pizza this time so that was OK. Then Wednesday we had yet another even more lame ass meeting because it was a go to the meeting or you're fired and the cheap ass owner had to toss in his same old same old two cents of opinion. Oh and the lovely seasonal allergies are assaulting me vigor. Eyeballs feel like popping out sneezing a lot and the constantly running nose oh so much fun. And that was the only horrible part of the week.
Now the good stuff that happened this week is plentiful. Sent the two dead HDDS off to be replaced and should have them back by hopefully the end of the week. I also worked up a nice temporary solution so that I could still have the Internet while the disks are off being replaced. Yeah no Internet withdrawals this time.
The car has been running pretty rock solid the entire week even surviving running to work in the middle of the day in the worst traffic and didn't have any issues. I'm so glad it was just a bad brand of pump but it sucks that it took me that long to figure out.
So with the car fixed I had plenty of time this weekend to do something else and that something else was a trip to Jerome with my roommate for a car show. Only second one that we've been to this year. So that means I took some pictures for the first time in like three months. More on the car show later.
While on the way back we stopped off at the Mallad Gorge which I have driven past several times without stopping to look put since I had the camera and felt like taking some non car pictures for a change and I brought the video camera along to test out the new mic cover since I hadn't had a chance to since picking it up with the moving and everything else. The Mallad Gorge was interesting to see in the nature kind of way and I think I got some good shots. I do have to admit that walking on the foot bridge was a bit weird because even without any wind the bridge would sway and that was just a bit unsettling to be honest. I was more worried though about dropping the camera over the ledge though. The pictures can be found here on flickr.
Sunday I spent most of the day editing and uploading the pictures and video of the trip and after finishing that I went and finally fixed the lawn mower after finding out that the real reason it wasn't starting is because the cable for the kill switch was broken and after a quick fix of that it ran great still really needs a new air filter but it's OK for the rest of this season I think. So yeah for the first time since we moved into the new house we finally mowed the lawn.
So finally I had a week that was more enjoyment than pure suckage and next week there are no 3pm meetings which makes me very happy. Oh yeah here is the test video of the new mic-cover. Still could use some work but SO MUCH better than the old ones.
