Day 066/365: So I guess this bridge is going to be a bit behind schedule

So today was an interesting set of events. I had been working on a few things and I felt like I needed some air. So I walk out of my office and everyone is all talking about a fire. “What’s going on?” I ask.

“Oh you didn’t hear?” one person replies, “The Rancheros Bridge is on fire.”

“You mean the one they are building out by Oak Hills?” So I asked if they wanted some pictures and our GM said yes. So off I go in our truck and oh boy the traffic of people driving around. Of course, I’m driving a truck. So as I got passed most of the main roads I started to come up to people stuck in traffic. I look around and find dirt roads and take myself to the incident in less than 30 mins. I’m pretty proud of myself. I navigated my way around in the middle of nowhere.

Day 065/365: A weekend of gaming

Day 065/365: A weekend of gaming

This weekend was a much needed relaxation session. I still need more of these but oh wells. This is Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. I had to get away from WoW for a while because I was just getting way to bored with it. So here is my current MMORPG. I’m helping out Dez in her first Dungeon. She got us all killed in a matter of seconds. No one knew what was happening. My kitty cat White Mage just standing there and healing.

Day 060/365: What the shit?

Day 060/365: What the shit?

So after a long long day of moving stuff out of the transmitter site and finally getting the old transmitter out of the building we see this. WTS? Seriously? The spoiler is the best external mod on the car and I’m usually one to point and laugh. However, this one is a gem. Those flared fenders are absolutely disgusting. It’s molded plastic that’s riveted to the bodies panels. They also just tapper off the back. It doesn’t go all the way down to the end of the bumper! So even if the tire actually came out and filled the “Wheel Well” it would still look bad. Such a disappointment.

Day 059/365: Well it’s off the ground at least

Day 059/365: Well it's off the ground at least

So getting the 1965 AM Transmitter had been a looming problem at our transmitter site. The thing is so huge and so heavy that we couldn’t figure out how we would get it out of the building. The day before we figured out that we could stick a crowbar under it. That got me thinking back to the Heald days when we moved everything on furniture dollies. So we went to Home Depot grabbed two and played around to see what we could do. Well it was off the ground and mobile (sorta).

Day 057/365: The aftermath

So last night I decided to see what I could capture on the back of one of the Speedway Sprint Cars. Well the aftermath is, I think I need to invest in some case lenses HAHAHA. Tried wiping off the dirt and realized some of that isn’t dirt, it’s dents. So, the next step is to buy some replacement lenses. Also, find a spot where it isn’t going to take that much damage. I think it would be cool to go back and forth to switch locations the camera is placed. However, that’s a lot of running back and forth when I should be working. So over the course of a few nights I’ll be choosing places to mount the camera.
