Travelling

My brother just came back from Oregon this week. He's planning on staying at my house at least 3 months now. The reason for the 3 months is because I am going away that long. I'll be in Texas from Sept til Dec. Should be back at work just before Christmas though. If anyone wants to visit I'll still be around all next week. Also if you're on the way to texas let me know!


Random shameless plug: Watch the Arrested Development series, it's hilarious.

Cedar Point and DSM shootout

I took thurs and fri off work to go to Ohio. Thurs was mostly the drive and we went out to dinner. Friday we went to Cedar point though. That was a lot of fun! There is a coaster that goes 120mph in 4 seconds. We waited for the front seat on that one and it was worth it to see and feel the speed. There were other good coasters we went on as well. It was a great time and after about 10 hours in the park we were getting a little tired.
Saturday was a carshow and dyno sessions at Buschur racing (a big Eclipse and Evo shop) That was a fun day as well, but not as exciting as the coasters were.
Sunday was supposed to be the races which would be the main event. Unfortunately it was cancelled due to the rain. I suppose it wasn't too bad though considering we ended up sleeping in pretty late and would have missed a lot of the races anyway. The drive back Sunday was not too much fun in all the rain either, but we made it.

Volleyball

We've been playing volleyball after work on monday's lately and its pretty fun. It is usually most of the newer hires. We were challenged by the old timers recently and that game was yesterday. It was fun, but there is definitely more of a selection process for the old timers than there were for the new guys. First 3 games they were up 2-1. Then a few people had to leave and the director called me over to his team, i wisely accepted (although my previous team came to hate me). At first i wasn't able to get the ball because the director would get it and block me incase i wasn't going to play well for his team. In the end though we won the game when i was serving the final 4 points. I'm glad i didn't get beat up for that one =)

Fortunately we are all playing for fun so it wasn't too bad, but it was still competitive.

Hopefully i'll have more to post here after this weekend, sorry for the lack of content recently.

I was a Mover today...oh and more miata stuff

Helped my cousin move all her stuff to her apt in DC for college. Long day lots of riding in a uhaul/van/car. Didn't do too much driving, but i did do a lot of packing and unloading. I used my phone's GPS for some of the directions, but it was still tough to find the loading dock that was in an unmarked alley on a side of the building that all streets seemed to be one way away from. Finally got it though. Was a good day over all, had a nice big dinner with her side of the fam for her birthday too.

Yesterday i got the miata inspected. The exhaust came on thursday so i installed it then, but had to wait until friday for the inspection. It took a while and they wanted to say no because i didn't ahve wiper nozzles (just the hose) but it sprays on the windshield and it was like that since i got it and no other place fussed about it. They decided to let it go and i just needed one side marker bulb which was like 2.49 so i didn't do too bad. Also the miata sounds much better with a real exhaust rather than a big leak heh. Now if i can stop the buzzing heatsheilds from the resonation of the new exhaust.
