So I ventured out to the mechanic yesterday and got some things taken care of with my car. I made sure I was at the place before it opened and got in pretty quick. Of course I was still there for 3 hours, luckily I was the only smoker there so I was alone outside at the smoking bench. That made it a little easier.

And I had good news regarding the car. All I needed to have done was to replace the air filter, do an oil change and the front brakes, everything else was good. Now this is a big deal because the last time the car was in for service (besides new tires a couple years ago) was back in New Jersey to have it looked at before making the drive out here to Hell. And then they didn’t need to do anything to it. So I lucked out with my little car, in the almost 7 years that I’ve owned it this is the first time it needed anything. I think it’s a keeper!

So then today, to reward my lovely little car, I vacuumed it out real good and washed all it’s windows both inside and out. All it really needs now to have undergone a complete beauty treatment would be to get washed. But that’s just a bit too much for me right now.

I’ve changed the look here AGAIN! As you can see. It based on the new Options theme (link in the footer) created by Justin Tadlock, which is awesome. There are so many different things you can do with it that it boggles the mind. And one of the things I really love about this theme is that you can change the layout with a couple mouse clicks instead of rewriting tons of code. I still have a few little things to work out, but I’m a little short on time at the moment so I’ll get to them when I can.

Out of an available 8,760 hours in 2006 I got a whopping 38 hours and 21 minutes total to myself.
