What did you do today?
I drove my car for a bit since the weather was so nice.
Checked my trans code, played w/ the stereo, put the other hid light in and then I decided to just fix a spot on my front bumper. Well look what happened, I got carried away.

Thanks tom, I just clicked on that link on the other site. Don't you ever sleep? This is the before pic of the bumper. I can't afford a new one, so I just figured I would try and make this one a little better.

not too bad. Probably made the right decisions by fixing the current one you have. Just make sure prep and paint are done by not only with REALLY good paint but also by a painter who takes pride in their work... AKA not Maaco

Don't forget the wheel straps for the trailer -Bill (still wondering what YT's definition of "I didn't drive it hard on the way to the shop" is)

Well this was one hell of a weekend. collectively we have added 6 more svxi to the shop grounds bringing the total to 10 Now tomorrow I begin making that number smaller... Got a total of 3hrs of sleep in the past 3 days so now I need to play a little catch up and hit the hay... I hope everyone else's weekends were just as desirable Tom |

I went to bed around 5am this morning after staying up all night and posting on here when I should have been working on my Diversity within a Forest - Ecology paper... Could have been done and in bed hours earlier if I hadn't stayed up... Oh well... Then I woke up around 9:30am this morning and came to my first class... Environmental Science 1... Then I went to Port City Java and got some coffee and a bagel and sat down there for about 30 minutes before coming back to Jordan Hall for my Forest Ecology class and lab... I'll be here till about 5pm ... Oh well, atleast tomorrow will be a relaxed day with some time spent under the car
