Glasses Man
I've been wearing glasses since Tuesday night. Why? Because I lost my left contact somewhere. I don't have that agreement with America's Best anymore where I can get a replacement lens for $15. In fact, it's been a while since we have been there, as Alison found out recently when she went in. Her contacts were bought in 1999. So, I need to go in and get some new contacts. Lame.

Too Cold To Wash The Car
I know my Canadian readers will think I'm crazy, but it was around 55 degrees yesterday when I washed the car and I almost froze to death. Yikes. I didn't have any rubber gloves. I usually have some from work in my jacket pocket, because, hey, you never know what you might need to touch, but really not want to touch. And the yellow, "women's dishwashing" gloves weren't under the sink in the kitchen. I can't wear my yellow pullover when using those, as I morph into Big Bird. But I washed the car.

I'm not sure if it's the Meguiar's ColorX or if it's the TW Zip Wax wash I'm using, but the water sheeted rather than beading. I like beading. I like micro-beading actually. But, no waxing this weekend. I have stuff to do.

But Not Shock Stuff
Yesterday, when I got home, I called JCWhitney to see when my shocks would show up. To summarize, I ordered a front set and rear set of shocks, and then sent me only one front and one rear shock...for my car. I called and even though the gal on the 10th of March that I talked to had made a note in my account record that I should have another front and another rear shock sent off, she didn't actually order them. So, I'll probably get the shocks around the 9th of April. I ordered them on the 5th of March.

I should have bought the best possible shock for my car, the KYB AGX (horrible name, no?) which I can get shipped for $306. However, I saved over $150 by getting Tokiko branded as Gabriel. Actually, there is no identification at all of a brand on the shock, they just say that they are made in Japan.

I'll change the transmission and differential fluid this weekend, or maybe today if it's nice. Heck, if it's nice I should drive over the mountain. I should put up shelving in the library closet tonight too. We bought shelving for it yesterday. Alison has taken all the stuff stored in there and moved it into the baby room. One closet full of boxes can cover an entire floor.

I also might add some mud flaps to my car this weekend. I know, possibly uncool. But I'm so sick of having the side of my car covered in dirt from this stupid road I have to drive down.

Hellboy tomorrow. Woot!
