Here’s a blow by blow of the past week and a half or so…

The Veedub appears to be somewhat functioning. I drove it to work two or three days this week and it seems fine. On Saturday, we took it out to get coffee and fuel at Costco and it had a little close-call on overheating, but I honestly think that’s because it still has (mostly) water in it and it was low. We bought some coolant at Costco, filled it up, and got it home without any major incident. I still think there’s a problem with some sensor as I’m having intermittent problems with it thinking it’s in gear when it’s in Park. I didn’t have a chance last week to call Auto Sports… I’ll get to it sometime in the next week.

I (finally) got a Media PC setup this weekend. It includes emulators for NES, SNES, and Genesis, so I can play some of my old games directly from a menu. I’ll post some more information about the config once I’ve completed the setup. So far so good… Clare and I watched a movie this morning on the rig.

I tore into the Honda today and got a good amount of the stock garbage stripped off of it. Pictures will be in the “Our Vehicles” gallery very soon. I can now walk to the back of the garage without playing “dodge the old-ass motorcycle”.

On Friday night, Char and I went out to The Melting Pot for a little anniversary celebration. It was excellent, highly recommended, and surprisely, they have a vegetarian selection on the menu. Neat neat place. We had the full course meal; cheese, main course (oil), and chocolate fondues. After dinner, we went and saw “RV”, which by the way is a terrible flick. We had higher hopes… guess we should have checked Rotten Tomatoes first. It was one of those “on a whim” things anyway. $17 down the drain, but at least we were too full from dinner to waste money on popcorn.
