Witty Crap
Not that I'm actually going to buy one, after all I just got my horribly tacky chrome palm tree license plate surround, but if I were, I think I'd get chrome with black, then white letters saying "Yes, I'm Having More Fun Than You" on top and "I HRT Tailgating SUVs" on bottom. Where HRT is the code for a lil heart.

I Finally Changed Out My Transmission and Differential Fluid
Well, remember how I ordered three quarts of Royal Purple (Royal Purple...Royal Purple...b-caaaaack!) 75w90 for the trans and diff? No. Well, that's because anytime I write about auto maintenance my very small audience's eyes glaze over. In any case, they shipped the wrong stuff. I got two 75w90s and a 80w140. I called, they shipped the other bottle, and free 80w140 which I'd never use, in theory.
Well, theory broke down when I found out that even if I hadn't put the five oz in the shift turret, I still wouldn't have enough, since the limited slip differential takes over a quart, and the transmission takes a little over two.
So, I'm running 75w90 Royal Purple (Royal Purple...Royal Purple...b-caaaaack!) in the shift turret and differential, but in the transmission, I actually have about 70% 75w90 and 30% 80w140.
(75*0.7+80*0.3)w(90*0.7+140*0.3) = 76.5w105?
We Bought Un-Fun Baby Stuff
We haven't been stalling on buying baby stuff so much as we've been buying baby clothes and toys only. I think I have a block fetish.
No, not really, but blocks are such a freakin' rip off. Why do they cost so much?
Last night, we finally bought some bottles, one of those mini-tubs, some washing type products...oh, and some more onesies, some cute little pink socks, and something else.
Alison called and she has a urinary track infection. I didn't really feel that warranted a bold subheading.
Also, I don't like how blogger's spell check suggests foreskin for freakin'. And I shudder to think of the google hits I'll get off this entry. Not only did I say I had a block fetish, but I used the phrase "foreskin for freakin'". Nothing good can come of that.
