So, at 4:30am Pacific Standard Time, I left Eastern Oregon heading for the Central Oregon Coast...... I got 7 miles out of Pendleton (that's where I live), when my car took a giant crap. I went to investigate, and somehow my muffler is hanging about 2-3 inches from the ground, the engine barely has any compression, and I have what sounds to be an exhaust leak. GREAT!! So, I am driving down Highway 84, back home..... at an expedient 10-15 miles per hour. This really pisses me off.
As I write this, I am at a friend's house waiting for him to gas his 83 Camaro up, make sure the lights an yadd-yadda work (yadda-yadda= vehicle fluids), so I can then drive it to the coast for Christmas. The catch is, I will probably need to fill the gas tank up 3-4 times round trip (between 120$-150$ USD).....not to mention that when I get back, I have to get my POS car fixed (if it doesn't accidently get pushed off of a cliff).
Thus far, my Christmas is sucking huge fruit cake....there had better be video games to play when I get to my Mom's house, or a certain someone will be super grouchy!
I will write more when I feel like it/get to the coast......
This really ought to be called the Christmas Misadventure 2007, but whatever.... yadda-yadda-yadda.
'nuff said
9/11...a date that is as infamous as the attack on Pearl Harbor, way back in 1942. I remember where I was 6 years ago. My mom was in Germany visiting my Oma. She had been there a whole month, I was 18 and it was also the first time that I was 'allowed' to stay home while she was away. I was an unruly young 18....partied like no other. I remember staying up all night with my friend's drinking and chomping down on 'Trucker Energy'. We played the hell out of my Playstation...made a huge mess(it was a RAGING PARTY!!), and continued to drink all day long; September 10th. We drank all day and most of the night, eating 'Trucker Energy'...eventually I passed out. I awoke shortly after 6am. I had the news channel on....and my first sight of the day was an airplane slamming into the World Trade Center! I looked in disbelief, changed the channel to Fox News, and they were reporting the same thing. Then the phone rang. It was my Mom. She was stuck in Germany, due to the FCC order/Executive order that restricted flights from coming or going in AND out of the US. I was so happy that I got an extra 72 hours to clean the house....and so violated that we had been attacked.
I might write more on this later...I might just leave it unfinished. I haven't decided.
