Hmm, it's Saturday night, I'm home alone because I'm borderline ill. I might as well watch Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
 
I'm watching Nixon, not from the start to the end, some piece here, some there...
Oh fuck. And I have to study before I sleep. One hour & a half left.
 
I have this old scrap car.  I was going to haul it to the salvage yard- less than a mile down the road.  So I hacked it up, put some wheels on, chained it to my truck and pulled it forward.  The a-arm is all jacked up, so it won't roll.  I forgot to move my jack and broke it, and now have to call a tow truck to get it to the salvage yard.  $160 for salvage - 50 towing - 60 for a new jack= $50 net profit.  meh. :(
 
Bad luck. Yet I have to say that 320$ for a scrap car ain't that bad. I gave my '95 Fiat Punto for 500 Euro before coming here and I was even happy!
And I'm talking about a decent condition!
 
Oh, no its $160 for the scrap-- its just over a ton. 

Still, not bad.  Just bad luck.  I really didn't want to buy a new jack, but looks like I'm jack shopping today.
 
Sunday morning, clocks moved back.  I had just enough beans to make one last pot of coffee (yeah, went to town twice and forgot coffee both times). 

I know that the classic 'American Picture' is sitting around the table in the morning, drinking a cup of hot coffee, reading the newspaper, over breakfast.

My morning is: drinking coffee, reading Maidenfans, listening to metal, waiting for football.

yeah!
 
Ah-ha!  Sounds fun!

I'll have to see if that is streaming anywhere...  cause I'm kinda bored at the moment.

Not working today, Loosey? 
 
At last. I found a decent garage for my Mustang and the correction of suspension I want to make.
If they do a good job, I'll proceed with the modification of the exhaust and the fuel system -both expected to give me some 10hp more and some awesome noise.
After there are some -expensive- dreams for adding a turbocharger kit, maybe for next year...
Being in the Mustang Club it's kind of dangerous; you see what the others have and what incredible modifications they do and you feel like shit.
...I'm starting to have the consumer disease I guess, I was not like this before  :halo:

Ah yeah and when I'll make all the mechanic improvements I want, it's the time for my cherry: 2 white, 10" large stripes  :D

I just created  a few simple wiki articles on two Elvin Jones albums, called
Remembrance (1978), and Brother John (1982).
Basic info only. :)

Great!! I never created an article yet, but maybe I should start doing it, to recover some forgotten diamonds from the rust. Be praised Foro  :ok:

I'm watching football. But the other kind. Serie A.

There is only one type of football. :D

The other type is really American Rugby. Or Aussie Rules Rugby. Or Canadian Rugby......., basically all else is a variation of, well, rugby. Which in turn is a variation of football. Which means they all can share the name football. Like rugby does - by calling itself rugby football.

Which emphasises the futility of my original argument. :(
 
I don't really have a problem with the Americans referring to their variant of football as "football". Only when they take it for granted that others understand that they are referring to that variant, and not Association Football. I mean, in all other countries in the world one knows that when one says "football", one is talking about "soccer" and not some form of rugby.
 
I must admit, I loathe the term soccer. It gets used a lot in this country by the "rugger" lot.
 
If I were a soccer footballer, I'd been Roberto Baggio.
