Who really needs sleep anyway.

I'm a little sleepy today. I was up late working on a little practice project and lost all track of time. When I woke up with the "Y" stuck to my cheek I figured that the below image was good enough for. . . . .whatever.

I found the car at Russ Darrow in Columbus. It's the Camero that was used in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", well the THE Camero but one like it I suppose. I had the photo but never got around to giving it to the shop. They seemed to always be closed when I was driving by.

Anyway - here it is! Not really a screen saver but it does look cool blown-up.

I was on a car kick because MY car was becoming a nuisance. Actually the tire was a nuisance as it was losing the ability to contain air which I believe is one of it's main duties. Every 3 or 4 days I was having to put air in it so I guess it was not an anomaly!

After I got back from Left Hand Louie's who was constructing a Art & Craft Fair booth module I figured I would change the tire and put the spare on. I had not done this with the Subzero, Subareas, Subarctic, DAMN IT, Subaru. So I started my search for the tire, lug wrench and other manly toys and found most of them. Took out the pretty black tire, placed the tire winch under the appropriate spot and . . . wait . . . how do I turn the thingy.

I tried all the tools but none worked. I knew there was one I was missing but where where where was it. I looked and looked and finally found it stuck to the bottom of the spare tire cover. SWEET.

So I started to raise the car and all was going perfect. I had it just so the tire was touching the ground and felt now was the time to take off the lugs.

I grab the lug wrench and with full confidence of my manliness attempted to turn the lug. It didn't budge. Tried another - not a 1000th of an inch. Wrong way? Nope - the problem was this tiny little pretty shiny black girly-man lug wrench. What a piece of crap. I could get zero leverage on it's little dainty 5 inch handle. SIGH!

You know I was just on a website that said "Depending on how tight the lugs are you might be able to remove them by hand. " WHAT? I hope not LOL

SO tonight I'm going to Mananas, Mansards, grrrrrrr Menards to by a big manly lug wrench, the big + kind.

The big news is with Caydence - as Jenny has on her blog " her surgery is tentatively scheduled for the morning of Dec 14th." She has a "Atrioventricular Septal Defect".

Not sure if any of you are watching the new History Channel show called WWII in HD. It is pretty good. A ton of never before scene color footage. The war as seen through the eyes of 12 people. Lots of really great history footage from the 40's. It's really showing you how life was back then.

Also saw episode #2 of "V". Still good. And if you have not had a chance to see the new Star Trek movie that comes out on DVD today - it is way way good! One of the better space movies behind Serenity (voted #1 best Space movie of all time).

Backtracking a little, "V". Lots of people you will recognize in "V". Elizabeth Mitchell from LOST, Morena Baccarin from Serenity along with Alan Tudyk also from Serenity and last night I saw Rekha Sharma the Vice President from Battle Star Galactica.

I watch too much TV. beep beep my geek watch is going off . . . ON ME!

On the weather front - October was the 3rd coldest EVER for the United States but the 6th WARMEST ever world wide. We got screwed.

Have you seen the trailer for Sherlock Holmes? Looks pretty freaking good. Who cares if it's not the Sherlock we're accustomed too.




All I have today.

Finally - I'm working on a new website - check out a work in progress Melotte Photo Imagery site. Lots of pages still need to be added but if you don't start something it never gets done. That first page is always the hardest.

Have a great day and

Peace - Always
