| today was an absolute blast. i got to go up north and drive fast on curvy roads. i was following a guy in an '04 R32, and even he was impressed with how fast my car was. the other guy was in a supercharged cabriolet. not to be a dick or anything, but sometimes, i just totally kick ass. however, i need to get those valve lashings right. i think that may be where the noise is coming from. if the space is too big, the cam kinda slaps the shim upon opening, and i think that's causing the parts to wear out. so, i need to get thicker shims in there, so it won't "slap" (hence the clicking noise). i mean there's inevitably going to be SOME lifter noise, but this is frickin' absurd. however, the car really liked the drive today. it felt good to push it out. i need to do that more often. but it's just so damn expensive. and i'm not talking gas. i mean it's everything... gas, tires, repairs, brakes, track fees, etc. it's just too expensive of a hobby for me to feasibly have... at least, right now. . tonight we had the last sir isaac newton meeting. we still have yet to do a full runthrough, but oh well. the half-assed one was like 4 mins short. so, we have lots of space to fill, which works because we were trimming stuff out. which, i told them not to do, but oh well. i guess that makes me not a very good leader. but we had a wonderful philosophical discussion after the meeting. for like an hour. and i've come to the conclusion that if sarah's theory on multiple soulmates is correct, then cara may be one of mine. i mean, it's unconfirmed of course, because i don't know her that well, but i mean, she knows what i'm talking about when i say stuff... if that makes sense. which, i realize, it doesn't. but it does to me. if you were a soul mate, you'd get it... it's just not in the common context that the term "soul mate" is usually used. it's a different meaning entirely. but i can't exactly explain it. i'm tired, i'm rambling. i'm thinking about just going to bed. speech for tomorrow. presentation, paper, and oodles of reading for tues. and i have to do laundry, take my library books back, and not forget to hang with gunnie. or at least call and reschedule. but i'd rather not... it's halloween! hm. how to make this happen. that is the question. i don't think coffee alone will work. |
