blah...site has been blank for a week, and I haven't posted anything since January 12th. Nice.
Well, last time I posted, I talked about just getting a Tivo. So what's new with that? The Tivo is fantastic, as expected. I'm no longer missing episodes of Good Eats or Mythbusters. I picked up a USB network adapter, so now I can listen to all of my mp3's in the living room, which is nice, and as soon as my Tivo gets the upgrade, I'll be looking forward to copying shows over to the computer. :-D
Christmas was good, got some nice stuff. I somehow received 24 cans of tennis balls, which I know will be put to use. I used some Christmas cash to buy myself a new racket as well, thanks to a good Big 5 sale. Used a little more of that money to buy a new softball glove as well just the other day, but I haven't had a chance to actually play with it yet.
Car stuff - went to a weigh day, got a chance to weigh and cornerweight my car. I was stupied and filled my gas tank before I went, so I didn't really try for perfect cornerweights. I think we got them to within 19lbs, and I raised the front of the car as well, so I don't think there will be any more tire/fender rubbing issues. The biggest pain was just getting the swaybars reconnected. :-P I was all set to have some offset bushings made as well, but it looks like that won't be happening. There's just not that much camber to gain at the upper arms, and getting camber at the lower arms means increasing the track even more than the wheels already did. So the stock UCAs are going back in soon, and some poly bushings have been ordered to replace the stock rubber bushings with 130k on them.
So what's next? A frigid autox in Tucson this weekend, and hopefully the El Paso NT at the end of February. I think I'll be happy if I don't finish last. ;-)
