It's been a while...

I haven't posted at all this week. I've had something to do every night. So.. I am about to start working on Corinne's car. Her driver's side headlight housing has loads of moisture in it. This blew her HID low beam bulb out and a ton of fuses, too. We replaced the bulb and fuses, but no dice. This means I've got to remove the front bumper to get the assembly out, bake it so we can remove the lens, wipe it dry, put it back together, and reinstall. Before I can put car back together, I need to swap her light ballasts to see if the problem moves to the other side. I hope it does, then I'll know what the problem is. If it's not the ballast we will probably have to take it to the dealer.

If only doing it was as easy as typing it.

Some quick video...

This is a walk down the long line of cars that rolled in from CT. After meeting up with some others on the Mass Pike, I think we had a 25 car caravan!


Just a random video of someone's exhaust, followed by some "wicked cool kids" pulling out of the parking lot.

Spring Bean Meet 2010

Here are some shots from today's meet in Boston. Enjoy!

The CT countryside....

Here are some photos I took while Corinne and I were in CT this weekend. I'll start with the best breakfast joint I've ever been to; The Country Diner


I had what they called The Eiffle Tower. This was a cinnamon bun cut in half like a hamburger bun, and made into french toast. Words cannot describe the flavor. Well worth the trip to CT.

Here is a house with their livestock on the front lawn.



And to finish, our mode of transportation;

Went to Hampton Beach....

And took some photos of the fire damage that still remains. This happened early morning on Friday, February 26th. Same day as the damn winter hurricane. Here's what I got;







This is the building across the street from the fire. The siding melted from the heat.

I don't have a cool title for this one...

So I finished my overhead test yesterday at work. This one went very smooth and I'm most confident of this one. This morning I returned a defective rotor from Advance Auto Parts and finished my front 5-lug swap. Results:



Corinne and I dropped her car off today for our friend, Jeremy, to do a timing belt/tensioners and other things while he's in there.

Cats...

The other day I found the laser pointer that was lost for months. The cats were thrilled! Silvia is the one who attacked the camera at the end, LOL!

Cruise'n this weekend!

Should be a good time. I'm very excited. I know it's only Tuesday.. When will this week end?!

I still have some wrenching to do. New shoes;



Work has been frustrating! I'm progressing though.

"Keep ya head up"

A message from my sister!

We got our 2010 Census today... Did you?

Please fill it out and mail it back. Not so that we are fairly represented in the legislature, or so we have enough teachers. No, the reason I ask you to complete it is so that in 72 years Hailey's grandchildren can research us and learn more in their genealogical searches. :)

See, that's about as personal as you can get with the census, and you all know, I am a genealogy junky.

Thanks!!

Now I had heard on a morning radio show that there was going to be a "long form" with more questions on it. Well, after a quick google search, About.com says;

While in previous decennial censuses, some homes received a "long form" questionnaire and most homes received a "short form" questionnaire, in the 2010 Census, there will be no long form. Every home will just receive a short questionnaire that should take about ten minutes to complete.

Fill out your census!!!
