America, Right Or Wrong!

Just kidding!

Why is it that the demographic that’s most for small government, and more importantly, not trusting trust your government, would be first (I’m betting) to defend this.

Fear your government, including the Republicans. Or, at least your military.

Yeah! Go Team! U, S, A! U, S, A! We are awesome. I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know my government has entered a war with questionable motives and now shoot civilians for no apparent reasonnnnnnn!

They should have that as background music, actually. The original, not my version.

Arrr, There Be A Ship Named After I

A ship or three. The USS Nicholas (FFG-47), was commissioned in 1984. That just so happens to be the same year I was commissioned. Arrrrr!

And it fights pirates on the high seas! Arrrrr!

Meh, This Blog Thing…

I’ve been slacking in the blog department. It’s lost its appeal once again.

In the news…

I just got some 550cc, peak & hold injectors for a steal.
Purchased a set of locks and keys from Autozone; we’ll see if they work.
Installed LC-1 status LED and calibrate button.
Got new tires installed

I hope to have it inspected shortly.

Chicken McNugget Rage

It’s okay crazy lady, I punched through the freezer door at Wally World when I learned about the Waffle Shortage of 2009.

Xmas 2009

The War on Christmas is over for this year. I received a western saddle for our horse. I tried it out, and Argo was apparently really happy, so he cantered for me.

Which is great since I’ve never cantered on him before. However, the horn functioned as a handy “Oh shit!” bar.

In other news, someone called my grandfather claiming to be a Mountie or something, and said that I am, “in Canadian jail and needs to be bailed out, send money”. Thankfully, my grandfather didn’t fall for it.

The Z had a rear strut bar installed, and hot starting has improved since I drastically reduced the cranking pulsewidths, but it is inconsistent now. At least now it’s too lean rather than too rich. I replaced the battery (that I bought in June), since it was bad. I received a new speed sensor with the correct gear for my differential, however, installing it has proved to be difficult since the old gear housing won’t come out of the transmission, the new sensor housing won’t come apart, and my third option of just putting the gear in another speed sensor I have from a 240SX is moot since the 240SX one also won’t come apart.

In other other news, some Nigerian tried to blow his legs up on a plane on Christmas day, and failed. Then some other Nigerian tried to… try to do something, and failed the day after. The former Nigerian had some chemical strapped to his leg, and a syringe sewn in to his whitey-tighties. He boarded the plane in Nigeria. Big surprise.

And some Health Bill has passed, but I haven’t even looked at it. From what I’ve heard, I’ll die before I receive any benefits.

Apparently my WordPress installation has gone sour, I’ll update it here in a bit.
