So far this weekend I took time off from my current big project and did some landscaping and cleaning up around the house even pulled out the dead apple tree out front... Well that lead to Lauren helping me. That brings on the inquisitive questions of a very smart 12 year old girl. Witch in turn leaves me explaining what things are for and why there where they are (some projects 14 years old) next thing I know I'm hand digging a ditch for a drain pipe moving a boat removing the biggest azalea bush I've ever seen raking and grading the ground now I get hit with Daddy.....can I work on my car?... Absolutely! Let me just finish what we already started first though. So today I pick back up digging the ditch and laying in the pipe then it looks like I'm going to breath life into my daughter's Hurst Olds
Are you going to let her take it around the block? Have one of the Brick PD give her an escort!

Haven't moved the car yet still working on the drainage ditch and Lauren is cleaning up behind me. I have to finish the drain pipe first because it goes into the front yard and code enforcement hates me so I don't want them poking around

I need to get an oxygen sensor for the Toyota and I was just gonna order it from RockAuto. I pulled the old one yesterday and found out the OE is actually an NTK, not Denso.

I got a code from Advance Auto for 25% off if I ordered online and picked up in store, and I see they have an NTK on stock. After tax and shipping, the price is about the same at either place, so I used the 25% to get it from Advance. I wait a half hour to pick up the part (website says part will be ready in 1/2 hour), get to the store at 7:55 pm. Store doors are locked, lights are on, I can see employees are inside. I knock on the door, guy yells through the door "We're closed!" This store used to close at 9:00.

I look at the sign on the door, it says hours are 8am-9pm. Wtf? I said "sign says 9:00".

Guy yells back "It's wrong, we close at 8 now!"

Again, wtf? I said "It's only 7:55!"

He yells back, "Too bad come back tomorrow!"

I literally just have to pick up this part. It's already paid for and should be pulled off the shelf and have my name on it. Now I have to make another trip tomorrow to go get this damn thing. I usually don't get pissed over stuff like this but I guess I'm kinda short fused today. I hope this ******* enjoyed his five ****ing minutes. Lazy piece of sh*t mother****er.

While not even in the same universe as Turbolq4's project, my humble little "shop lot" is in the process of getting a makeover. After 10 years of gravel, I stepped up to have it done and soon all of my parking surfaces will all be concrete. Due to the oddball shape, he's pouring it in chunks. It should be completed by the middle of the week weather permitting. This will double as a half basketball court for the Two Terros' permanent basketball hoop they got for Christmas which will go roughly where the tree stump is currently.
