I've an long time since i have felt productive for a period of time. It has caused me no end of trouble. Today, i was helped in deciding some matters and the course i should pursue. I think i will go back to work at a former job that has asked me to return. Perhaps i could start with 3 days a week, and see if that becomes too much of a strain on my body. The other days will be spent recovering. Bob has a rather large exorcise thingy that is gym quality. I need to retrain my mussels that have suffered attrition from lack of use. I think getting out and about again will help regain my spirit that i lost since the tendonitius and related problems. There are some things i need to do after i get moving again.
Fix Romana.
She has been off the road since October. I need to replace the fuse box, rewire the tail lights, and replace the plugs and wires. I need to coat the pans with a rust preventitive and put in some used rubber mats from Bug and Bunny, so i don't scratch the coating untill i can install the carpet. I need to check the tires for wear for inspection.
Fix my bike.
When i ran off to college, someone left it outside for a month so everything rusted together. I need to rebuild the gears, replace the tires, and rechain the thing. I may have to replace the cables, and inspect the brakes. Frame up rebuild, probably.
Fix the Metro.
The right front caliper needs to be replaces. I also need to change the trans fluid. These things need to be done this week or early next week before i have to resurface the rotor.
Star Wars.
I need to go ahead and use my brother's new digicam to take pics of my star wars collection so i can post an ad on an auction site. It has been a long time since i have had the whole collection out. It will take at least two days to unpack, make an inventory (something i should have done long ago), photograph, and repack all the things. I have fond memories of collecting, and it is time to relenquish them to another owner. I need to get some web space to hold the images, and i will link them to my h2g2 page to show what i used to do.
Bob's house.
I have a list of things i need to do over there. The window and extra room are done. I need to organise the garage and library next. In my spare time, i have a little more work on the speakers untill they are finished. They will be a three way home speaker set for the downstairs tv and stereo. I still need to make the frames for the 10" set, seal the 6" set off, port both boxes, and make new covers.
Miami.
As much as i like driving, it will make most sense if i fly. I will miss having a car there, as there are a couple of places i wanted to see. I need to start saving up the money if i am to make it. If i get the SW toys sold off, that may help, but i want to pay of the credit card first.
Friends.
I really need to see my friends more. Most of them live pretty far away, which is a problem. Miami will help that.
Future employment prospect.
As with any job, you have to build up. I am thinking i will start with an A+ certification. If i can get that, and a job where that is usefull, then i can learn to do other things, get other certifications, then better jobs. Even saying all that, i still like working RenFest, and managing small shops. There is a coffee and art shop in Viena i'd like to work at. Very comfortable place.
Models. Right now, i just don't have room. I have several conversions, and one car i am going to have to do from scratch. When i sell off the SW toys, i will gain some needed territory. Hopefully, i will be able to move soon. I need to get away from these current roommates.
That's about it, for now. More upon development.

She probably figured you were hungry.

Pizza is always better than corn muffins.

what you know as km Posted Dec 30, 1999
Well if she had pizza she wouldn't need the shoe.

Hey, i like your style of thinking. What whould she do with an extra shoe then?
*This is a public subliminal announcement*
what you know as km Posted Dec 31, 1999
Well knowing how kind-hearted she is she'd probably find herself a one-legged vagrant to give it to.

Is the one legged vagrant related to the one armed bandit?

and the the mississippi's mighty, but it starts in minnesota
at a place where you could walk across with five steps down
and i guess that's how you started, like a pinprick to my heart
but at this point you rush right through me and i start to drown
