Getting back into blagging

So it would seem as though fall was the last time I fired up blogspot and typed anything in. I guess you could say I "eHibernated" through the winter and am just now emerging to type about random stuff once again. A lot has happened, but I'm going to break it down into multiple posts.

Holy pants! It’s a new blog post!

Yes folks, that's right. John is now using the word "blog" instead of "blag". Why? Who knows.

Crap, I don't actually have anything to blog about… hrmmmmm

I'll probably have something later. Come back then…

omg jame!

Weedeater engine sans muffler

So today I got bored again, so I decided to go outside and work on the weedeater engine, see if I could get fuel to stop leaking around the tank gasket, get the mixture trims set just right, etc. Once I got that stuff done (fuel line needs a new gasket thing) I decided to have some 'fun' and take off the muffler, and run it. It works, but it results in a VERY loud and shakey engine, instead of a highpitched grumble there is a high pitched cackle, and it's almost impossible to control.

I attempted taking a video of it with leTreo650, this is what I got:


Unfortunately, it doesn't sound much different than when I ran it with the muffler on. Kinda bummed about that.

How to burn through GoPhone money in seconds!

I was Googling around randomly the other day, like I often do, and I found Google maps for palm. On a whim, I downloaded and installed it on my treo650, and it runs like a charm. However, it has a little indicator up in the top right hand corner, showing how much stuff has been downloaded. Within, oh, maybe 45 seconds of poking around, it was well above 200k (not sure exactly what it got to). I then realized that I am charged $0.10 per KB. That fun little session of Google mapping cost me over $2!

Not a huge deal I suppose, considering I have about $114 in GoPhone monies, but I don't think I'm going to use google maps anymore...

not cool. (literially)

Well this really sucks. It's October, and it's 84 degrees outside! It should be like, lower 70s upper 60s!

Dang you climate change... *shakes fist*

woo stuff!

Tonight in crisco class we had the module 6 exam, which was pretty intense, took me about 20 minutes to complete, but I got a 97% so it doesn't really matter.

I've almost finished my plane, even thought I KNOW I said I would try and take it slower and whatever.

I've got the fuselage, wings, rudder, and elevators done. I lost some of the precut parts for the elevators, so I made my own. woo.

Now I just have to put all that mess together, and I'll have a plane of sorts!
