Sound Bite

I just saw a commercial for a Johnny Cash biography or something like that. During the commercial someone, don't know who, says:

For as long as people love country music, people will love Johnny Cash.

I can't disagree more. I think taking the word country out of the sentence would make it more accurate. Johnny Cash is beyond genres and as long as people love any music, they will love Johnny Cash.


I Can Turn

I redid the the turn signals on the Bug this morning. The switch in the steering column is bad and instead of ripping apart the whole steering column I just rigged up some toggle switches. It's temporary situation until I replace the steering wheel and when I do that I will fix the switch. Then I can use the toggles for some hydraulics :-)

After I had those running I took her out for a test run. I just wanted to make sure that the battery was charging. I stopped off at the bank on the way and it had a hard time starting up again. The starter was moving a little slow. I believe that the battery just didn't get enough time to charge up very well. The traffic is horrible (Cubs game) so I barely got it above idle.

I am confidant that the generator is working though. When I get the RPMs up there, the gen light gets brighter. Good sign. I wish I had a voltage meter though, just to make sure.

God I wish I knew someone in this city with a good set of tools.


Why Oh Why

My ex-wife had these two friends that were obsessed with Boy Meets World. Every friday night, without fail, they would watch it.

I just caught the last five minutes of an episode on the Disney Channel and jesus does it suck. How could they have liked it is beyond me.
