Exhaustion - Just delete it.... nothing important here



Well, it is 11:30, and the saga continues ;)

Today I had planned to go downtown & get nice & ripped
at the Westheimer Street festival.  It is a 2 day live
music & warm beer event that usually ends up with me
getting arrested... well sometimes.  Anyways, I get
all ready to go, and what do I think of? VWs'

I started out waiting for a friend to call back, and
decided to play around with the speakerbox that has
been sitting in the spare bedroom for 6 months.  Went
to radio shack/sears to get all the hardware, and
finally hooked up the 2 10's for the hatch(DAMN they
are loud).  Then I figured, what the hell, I'll
install the shocks for the van that've been sitting in
the same room for 2 months.  I tell ya, the stock
shocks had 87K on them - I could compress them with
one finger...

Next I figured, well, I might as well rotate the
rocco's tires while I have the jacks out.  After
rotating the tires (pulled the left side off 3 times..
dont ask), I decided that "Hey, I got the box put
together, I might as well run the wiring kit that has
also been sitting around for 6 months".  Pulled the
seats & the carpet, spent 1 hour running wire.... Then
I decided to pull out the instrument cluster that has
been off-kilter since I put in the gauge faces.  Fixed
the needles, put it all back together...

Now I have a radio sitting on my floor waiting for me
to figure out which one is the power antenna wire, and
which wire is the rocco's dimmer.

7 hours I spent screwing around with my damn cars
today... I can barely walk, and I a too tired to sleep

but at least I am not in jail... :)
