Heading to Idaho tomorrow to see mom, she's not doing too well so I wanna make sure I see her in case she doesn't get better. :(

Not sure if my headache is due to the cold or the lack of caffeine.

Thanks for all of the birthday wishes! I am unfortunately sick as a dog on my birthday so after dinner and a trip to the store, my present to myself with be a NyQuil coma!

Someone one should make Reese's Peanut Butter Bacon.

apparently there is no school today - woke up Martin bright and early to go to school and the bus never came. Other kids were at the bus stop though so I wasn't the only bad parent!

Went to bed feeling fine, woke up feeling like stuff. FUUUUUUUU

I saw a donk the other day near baseline and 185th. I didn't think we were that far south!

Finally taking the tree down... We are procrastinators extraordinaire!

Leak fixed, codes cleared, car runs great! First whiteblock major engine overhaul complete! This was a triumph.

All I've got to do today is reseat the oil drain tube, but I'm woefully unmotivated. Car is up on stands, I've verified the problem, but I just don't wanna.

Dear Volvo Engineers, Why did you put 500,000 bolts on the top of the B5245 engine? My back would like to lodge a complaint. Sincerely, Richard

Apparently we have to move out in about a month. Our apt complex is choosing to not renew our lease. Somewhat understandable since we're on a 2nd floor with a 5-year-old, but not looking forward to packing yet again.

Done wrenching for tonight, got the head on but the head bolts are too short! D'oh! Luckily Lucky from iPd is bringing a set home for me and I'll finish this oh yeah! up tomorrow!

valve replaced. I needed 3 sets of hands but the damned thing is back together and a HUGE weight is lifted off my shoulders. Now to get the head back on the car...

Obtuse head bolt is obtuse. I should have just picked a new valve up while I was at iPd.
