uber-weekend update

Friday: Took off @ noon due to 13 hour day Thursday. Came home...uhh. Wtf did I do. I prolly ate. Probably played some Xbox. Oh. Duh. I worked on the Mustang, which has been immobilized in the garage all week. Apparent theory was 'bad gas, fouled plugs'. Got new plugs, some gas additive, and it worked. Plugs were definitely fouled. Bad. Weird.

Anyway, finished that, Ellen came home early, we hung out for a bit, picked up Helen/Eric and headed West to Wii. Good times/drink/food were had, I suck butt at not pushing buttons. Left kinda early due to incoming death storm. Played more xbox.

Saturday: Decided late last night to forego the usual Mardi Gras revelry due to death storm (snow+30mph winds+outdoor drinking=suck). Invited everyone out to the Kingston compound for "Mardi Garage". Ellen made some Jambalaya and creamy chicken nacho-ish items, that were awesome. Bought a pingpong table, because it was on clearance for $60. Bought inflatable sleds, because, c'mon...sleds.

Folks showed up around 4, and we started drinking heavily. Nate/Eric and I decided it was a good idea to shoot BB Guns until we got frostbite. Eventually the wind died down, and we decided that it was a good idea to drink more, and sled down the hill at the back of the lot leading into the cemetary. Got cold, drank more. Robdrea showed at some point, we drank more, then decided to sled again, semi-drunk. Good times. Got cold/tired, went back into the garage and started the beer pong. Drank a lot more. Pizza was ordered at some point. Delivery guy played beer pong. Some of decided to drunken sled again. I think. People left at some point. Jacuzzi action was had. It was cold. I wore a hat. Wound up in bed around 3 I think.

Sunday: Woke up late and hungover. Spent the majority of the day on the couch. I think I got Taco Bell. Watched the 15th anniversary edition of Resevoir Dogs. Sooooooo much better. They totally nailed the transfer and remastering. Actually can't wait to check out the 2nd DVD.

Monday: Off for P-day. Laid around till about noon. Made the first of like 2389 trips to Advance Auto for parts for the truck. Went to the new Home Depot in town for truck items. Spent the rest of the day working on the truck. Laid new wood down in the bed over the old rotten wood, replaced the piece of drywall in the rear window section with new plexiglass, put a clock in the truck, little shitty cupholder console in the seat, fixed the retarded PCV delete the previous owner did, fixed and re-did the leaky exhaust (removed the muffler, but routed it out the side of the truck so it doesn't leak back into the cab and used the right sized piping), and did the oil change from hell (Had to use an impact wrench on the oil plug, the filter was only removed after spearing it with a 24" bar for leverage). Finished everything around 6. Caught up on DVR shit.

The rest of this week's plans include walking the dog for the first time in months, avoiding retardedness at work, and chewing gum. This weekend I vow to finally finish the closet project, and finish changing the oil in the rest of the cars. Maybe.

I always have a truck. Duh.

$1000 POS that's saved my butt multiple times already due to death-snow and dead-mustang.
