i'm in ludington, its okay.
things just seem weird right now.
I dont know.

i lost contact with so many people.
i just read that rache has a job.
i havn't talked to her in forever.

i take the last part of my GED test on the 15th. If i pass, i'll have an open house and invite all of you.

unlike some of you that didn't invite me, (WTF Jay?! am I not your friend anymore) I did miss amy's open house because nobody told me about it, And i missed AJ's because i never got an invite, the same with gravy's.

oh well, fuck it.
I've got like a handfull of friends left. yeah, it sucks. But what can ya do, this is growing up.
well, off to do whatever, see you guys later....

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to obedience and warmth.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is low. Even if you're tempted, you'd try hard not to do it.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Ex girlfriends are fucking stupid. Is there like a fucking idiot gene in them that makes them completely ignorant to the phrase, leave me the fuck alone. Since when does a "don't talk to me anymore" e-mail require a reply. What the fuck. LEARN BITCHES. SO STUPID GAWD.

okay, so i've got a really bad sunburn only on my right arm though... strange isn't it?

i think its because yesterday andy, bethhy, and I drove to midland 2 1/2 hours away to get a transmission. only paied $130 for it (andy did, its for his cordoba)

hell of an adventure.

friday i get paied,
saturday is tonys open house
sunday nothing cool happens
monday is bethhy's birthday, we're going to michigan's adventure, anyone want to come? you pay your own way.

okay, 27 days left.

yesterday we went out, cleaned all the greese and grime off the motor, made it look really really pretty. painted it chevy orange(the block and heads) didn't bother painting the valve covers or the intake because new ones will be here when i get my check.
We took off the timeing chain cover and noticed that the chain has alot of slack in it and it has a neoprene gear on top. so BAM, off to happy hawthorne's automotive (Cedar-Rock automotive on 14mile and summit)
i bought a can of engine degreaser and a dual roller timing chain and gears. band spankin new, total was like $33 i have about $50 in my wallett right now and i need a new oil pan, valve covers, timing chain cover (the orginal has the timing tab rusted off of it) intake, and a set of headers, probably looking at around $400 more right into the engine. maybe a little more. but, its getting done, thats all that matters to me, she is all i think about lately. while driving pizza i dream of cruizing around in my cutlass, pulling up and getting gas, walking out of the gas station and getting in and lighting the tires up going down the road.
speaking of lighting the tires up, my grandpa butch is checking on a 3.73 posi rear end one of his friends has. :D

well, today is my day off, i guess people are coming over.
come over if you'd like to.

:: 2005 18 June :: 3.49pm

i dont even want to go to work today, i just want to work on my car.
stupid work.

i'll work on my car tomorrow.

:: 2005 18 June :: 1.35pm

its been awhile since a real update.

progress has been shown on the cutless finally.
2 days ago i cashed my check from the previous friday and blew all $212 of it on a transmission from Bud's junkyard over in gowen.
now i have 28 out of 30 days left on my warrenty. I had 30 days to see if the transmission works or not, if it doesn't i bring it back and get my money back.

We ran into a few problems in the beginning, The transmission mount is broke, and the main problem that we had was that the flywheel is way way broke. What we did get acomplished the first day was, the new front main seal in the transmission, new filter and pan gasket put on. and the tranny dipstick installed. The transmission is pretty much ready to drop in now.

2nd day.
Me beth and andy head up to my dad's work to get some money for parts.
then we head into sandlake to the independant bank there (never get an account at independant, they are fuckers) we did some running around then went to the parts store, we picked up spark plugs, the tranny mount a new flywheel, header gaskets, a can of 500* motor paint (chevy-orange)

Today, woke my ass up way early, we got to the shop and tried to put the flywheel on and noticed that its bigger than the orginal, the orginal was a 157 tooth out of a camaro or something, wich isn't standard.... to the parts store i go, i talk to the guy he said the one he gave me was standard, and it should work fine, wich it does, it bolts up great but the starter just doesn't fit. So we say screw it, i buy some tranny cooling lines. get back to the shop get everything figured out and then figure out we need torq converter bolts.... BACK TO THE PARTS STORE!!! lol, we get there, buy a dipstick and tube, intake gaskets, oilpan gaskets, torq converter bolts 2 cans of carb cleaner (going to clean the motor) a can of p-blaster...
Then we had to go to lizzy's open house.

more will happen tomorrow, hopefully the motor will go into the car....
forgot to mention we also bought a thrmostat and a gasket for that and a fuel pump gasket.

there, thats all for now.
