    I'm in the middle of putting a new tire on the wheel of my car. I broke the seal so far and am using dish soap and a screw driver to get the old tire off.

    Eww leather, brown leather. :p I only really like fabric, much more comfortable, leather is going to get really cold in winter and I'm also skeptical of a lounge that only holds 5 cans???? Not even a 6 pack.

    Sooo the more vacant back wall I gotta move that stuff still but that's where the 3 seater can go. And then the three seater is a part of thesw two. They're heavy antiques with springs and when you sit in them you sink right down. They're not very comfortable for long periods of time. Get sore back. Honestly I just use arms in between them as a platform. Good hight for oral. :D

    I got asked back for a second interview at the company I interviewed for, but i'm not sure about it anymore. But I also have a phone interview tomorrow with another company, this one seems like a better option. The salary is where I want it to be and I dont have to worry about them going under in a year (the other place is a local start up and hasnt been around long)

    I've been sending out my resume for a year with nothing back and now 2 bites in one week. Yay

    No. It's been two years. =/

    The tire is now replaced. Last time it took me 5-6 hours and this time it was about an hour.

    I have a few other things to buy that I have now saved up for. The big expense is the trailer. I have sourced a 6x4 box trailer with 5 leaf springs and a 600mm galvanised cage and a spare wheel. I have no idea what leaf springs do, but I figure 5 is better than 4. :p

    It says it is heavy duty. I like the look of it. I will go and have a look at it today. My main concern is getting ripped off with some bullshit attachment I probably don't need because I fully expect them to say "oh well, you'll need this for the Ranger or else rah rah rah" which I've done my own research on and no I don't. So I might just open conversation like I know what I'm talking about lol.

    5 is ok if theyre thin

    im building a tandem axle at the moment for hauling cars and the springs im using are 4 leaf but thick

    if the springs are too strong the thing will bounce all over the road and add stress to the tires

    think of them as cushions between the trailer and the axles

    Lazy dumbass at work finally started to get some of his work done yesterday and today. He has to test a buttload of panels by tomorrow afternoon that he let pile up since last week. He thought that if he let it get backed up enough that me or Haley would offer to help him, lol. Fat chance we've been helping one another look busy all week.
