Indianapolis Update

This afternoon/evening I was able to get quite a few things accomplished. First I updated Gallery to version 1.5, therefore granting many improvements both front-end and backend. This evening I got the pictures off the other memory card that was from the race uploaded. In the next few days I am going to be reorganizing the gallery to accommodate a few improvements and a couple hundred more pictures that I have been meaning to upload. I am heading home tomorrow and probably on the plane and in the airport I will try to write a nice entry about the airplane trip out, the race, and everything else that I did while I was out here.

Long Day

After going to the race today and then having a nice dinner with the people that we went to the race with it was a full and rich day. Tomorrow along with more pictures from the race I will have a wrap up so far about my trip, and a wrap up about what I saw at the race. The bed will really feel good tonight. Might I add that I also went swimming this evening when we got home to help steal my energy away.

In Indianapolis

Just so everyone knows I’m in Indianapolis, IN till next Wednesday. I am here for the Indy 500 this weekend. The race will be tons of fun. I’ll have my digital camera and try to post pictures if I get some good ones.

Busy Weekend

This weekend was one of the busiest weekends for me in a very long time. For me there are really two different kinds of busy, one that is just stressful, and the other that is a busy but it’s a good busy because it involves tons of fun. This weekend was exactly that, tons of fun. Friday night I went over to a friend’s house and we stayed up most of the night playing games and shooting the shit.

Saturday night involved going to show in Olympia for a couple of local bands. Again this time I was security. it can be kind of boring because we all just hang out while other bands play, so we tend to wonder around and see what’s going on. I was on a mission for food when I spotted a pizza place so i wondered in and ordered a slice, to go. they called my name and I went over to grab it, it was like any other place a slice of pizza on a paper place, but because it was to go they put it in a freaking paper bag. Seriously what kind of place puts a slice of pizza in a paper sack to go? It was just one of those funny amazing things that my life runs into from time to time. We wondered back to where the show was. When the show was over we ripped everything that we setup down and headed back. When we got back to my truck because I bummed a ride up there, I didn’t feel like going to the after show party or go home, so I resorted to random driving around. A friend called me to see what was going on and I ended up hanging out at his house for a few hours. I think I finally came home around two, but in all honestly I really don’t remember.

Later on this morning somewhere around nine my dad decided to get my up, so basically I got no sleep, not enough anyway to give me any energy today. The problem is that once I’m up its impossible for me to go back to sleep.

Camera Phones

Camers phones are quite nice, the only problem I have is getting around to getting the pictures off the phone so I can show everyone. Stay tuned that is my next project as I have many great photos to share.

Cell Phones

Cell phones are a great item, in my life it is a necessity. Being always on the go the cell phone is truly the only way to find me.

This morning the phone rang, I missed the call due to myself sleeping in. Then I check the voicemail and its just junk because they forgot to lock their keypad and the phone dialed me all by itself. So I get woken up an hour before I wanted to get up for junk. Lesson learned, please lock the keypad.

Expensive Day

Today was a day where it started from ground zero costing me money? On my two hour break between classes I got my back window tinted. What a difference it made! My truck looks so much better from the front and back, this made me very happy. After work Craig and I went to Wal-Mart to try to find a wiring harness for an old deck that he had. He tells me the tweeter on his side isn’t working. This is not good. So we had to run to a couple of other places and then back to his house to figure out what was going on. Come to find out the tweeter has a bad connection. That was after an hour and a half of troubleshooting. Then when I got home I was going to fix the tweeter, but first I got some ideas on why my system was shutting down. Come to find out the crossover box on the same side where the tweeter is bad is making the system click off. I turned the stereo to the left so see if it would click off with just that side, after about 3 minutes of running the system all out smoke starts coming out of the left tweeter! Mother of God this isn’t happening to me. So the second tweeter dies the same day, but this one is dead for sure. I had the tweeters turned up loud on the crossover so I fixed this for future reference on the front and also on the rear crossovers. So now I need to find out why the one tweeter fried itself. I think its because I had them turned up but still they shouldn’t do that. Anyway that was the extent of my day. Max this little ops is going to 200 bucks, I hope it becomes less, but still very annoying.
