So... the weekend went sortof as planned...
oil changes saturday morning, we went to eat while they were being done (btw goodyear has increased their basic price 3 dollars due to new brand of oil). Then I headed back to the house to mow, as it was supposed to rain Sunday and Ashley didnt need me to go to big lots and with her to get her 2 nails fixed.
before I mowed I looked up the price on the wheel cylinder to replace the leaky one on Ashley's car... well it turned out to be 10 bucks. Goodyear wanted 200+ to replace it... so I looked up a generic proceedure... okay I can do this... so I go mow, Ashley gets the part and brings it to my house. I pull her tire off, then the dust cover off the brakes, and disconnect the old cylinder, then I take the screws out of the old one. meanwhile there is brake fluid leaking out of the line since it was connected to.... well, air... now came the interesting part... the old part was not wanting to come out... it was a tight fit in there.... hmmm... it eventually came down to me taking the bleeder valve out of the back and presto out it came... so I took the bleeder valve off the new one... attached it to the car... attached the bleeder valve and line and couldnt get the brake shoes back on.... well that was because that cylinder had enough pressure in it that the brakes couldnt retract... so out comes the bleeder valve again... I attach the brakes, put the cover back on... install the bleeder valve... and presto, working brakes... a few trips around the block later, and no sign of leak.... yay.
next i took a shower and cut my hair, not in that order, then we sat out back enjoying the sun and each others company, talking about absolutely nothing but having a good time doing it. I suppose I should mention that ive picked up that filthy habit again... yup, im smoking again... but im going to try to keep it reasonable... 3 sat, 4 sunday, none so far today.
anyway we grilled some dinner, and retired to do other stuff... it was a good day... save for both of us getting sunburnt.... hey morons... sunscreen
Anyway... sunday went pretty much as expected... I got up early... finished my laundry, watched tv, went to my parents, came back and watched tv, got about an hour of GTA time, watched tv, went to bed, talked to ashley, slept. There was a eureka marathon yesterday so that was enjoyable.
The only revision to the plans for this week (that i can remember) is that Supposedly ill be signing the lease on the apt tomorrow.... thats about it. Ashley wants to spend the night there tomorrow, but I cant so thats a little bit of a bummer... im hoping she decides against it... but I will survive either way.
now my quandry...
Jordan may not be able to go to the server 2008 launch thing next thursday (May22), Bryan is staying at my house on the 21st and heading there that thurs... im debating on cancelling my trip there and asking Igor or PTO that friday (the 23rd).. quite frankly ide rather spend the day with ashley. so we will see.... but if Jordan can go I will go.

Sorry dude. I wish I could go, but where I'm starting the new job, I really don't think it's going to be in the cards. Strangely enough though, I've already received copies of Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008, and Vista Ultimate in the mail (from other things). It's like me not going was meant to be.
