No, I haven't died.
Since it has been nearly a month since I posted on this thing, I figure I probably ought to. There really hasn't been anything going on.
I went to the MIVE get together last Sunday (first Sunday of the month, 3PM).
I went to Grand Haven on the 4th to take pictures off the end of the pier of the fireworks and all that. Those can be found on my Flickr, and my Flickr can be found in my links.
On the highway the other day, everyone in front of me decided it was time to stop NOW. That hard of a stop used what was left of my one rear brake all up. So instead of needing to do the rear brakes, I NEED to do the rear brakes. And I will soon, but in a band-aid manner. Notice above how I said "my one rear brake", well that's because the drivers side rear brake is froze up, making it useless. So for now, Im just going to put new brake pads on the passenger side till I get a good paycheck, then I'll do the brakes up proper. That includes replacing the stuck caliper, both rear discs, and the rear pads. And if I still have money after that, I'll get front pads too, because they are getting low too.
Sunday night one of my friends wrecked her car, so Monday I brought her to the courthouse to get her license back, to the bank, and to the rental car place. After being this long off work, it felt nice to do something useful again. And help a friend in need in the process.
Speaking of work, if the latest news holds up, I'll be heading to Charlotte, NC next Friday, then to Key West, then to Sparks, NV. Ah yes, the Nevada desert in August. Maybe we'll do something in Minnesota in January. Ah well, it's work, and since I like this job, and there isn't much to be found around home for work, I'll take it.
Well, the think tank is on empty now, so this is where I leave you. Hopefully it won't be another month before I write again.
Take care, be safe.
