I Have the Power!
Jun 9th
Yesterday I’ve taken yet another step into manhood by fixing something else that broke on my car. My power steering fluid was leaking pretty bad, so we had to bench the car. It’s been sitting in the garage since Thursday night. I took the bus/train/bus combination to work Friday and hoped I wouldn’t have to do that Tuesday. My wife ordered the part and it was to arrive Monday. Since I work from home on Monday, it was perfect timing. We thought the power steering pump might be bad and I was not looking forward to replacing that. I saw some tutorials on YouTube, but all those guys had the right tools. I’m still borrowing stuff from my brother’s stash.
Forza and Me
Aug 4th
I borrowed my brother’s Xbox to entertain both me and Alex (3-year-old son) last night. I let him play “Cars” and I patiently waited for him to go to bed so I can play “Forza” – by falling alseep on the floor – genius! After vigorously playing my campaign mode, acquiring three new cars, levelling to 10, and decaling the mess out of two cars I realized that I should not be going to bed some time after 3:30am. I have too many things to do, in the morning, and video games is NOT one of them. I must have played a straight 4-5 hour session and didn’t realize it. Sure my fingers hurt, but it wasn’t an indication that I’ve been playing too long… just that I needed to not put so much pressure on the buttons. 
Whatcha’ Say!?
