The Air Compressor PT 3 and General Tso

5/31/06

I'm hoping this June will mean working harder, having more fun, and sleeping less. I need to stop doing nonsense projects such as the media machine I am building and do more house-related work that needs to be done. I also need to enhance my career. All I do it seems is to come home from work tired. I am also afraid I make impulsive and rash decisions a little too much.

On Sunday I slept late and woke up just in time to see Donna. We went out to see X-Men 3 at the Galleria in Warner Robins and ate at the Cracker Barrel. At her house we sat and watched "Flip This House" in which Ginger bought properties more rotten and moldy than the chicken in my broken down fridge (another subject of this blog).

On Memorial Day I taped WABC's interned feed of its Rewound 2006 show. Johnny Donovan, who does voice-overs for Rush Limbaugh, was an air personality at WABC. Look up Musicradio77.com. WABC was to pop music what WSM was to country. I used a VCR and its audio-in jack to tape 2 hour segments of the show. Unfortunately the only VCR I had that lacked wow and flutter was an anti-theft VCR that only recorded 2, 12, and 24-hour segments (it was a time delay unit a motorcycle dealer threw out).

I ate with my mom and dad at home. We had grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. Sadly the refrigerator let the food get just as warm as the grill did. After I sunk 40.00 into a freezer fan several months ago it had to do this to me. I slept and had dinner with Mom and Dad at the Cracker Barrel. I picked out a fridge, got the model number (a white Frigidaire) and told Dad about it.

Tuesday was a normal day at work and it was relatively slow so I got a peek at some DVD movies on my laptop. I went home and rested. Afterwards I took most of the fridge's contents, put some in a cooler, and soe in a milk crate. I put what needed cooling- even what little the fridge afforded us- inside. The cooler and crate allow Dad and I to yank out everything come delivery day, which is June 1 (Thurs).

Today (Wed) I slept then went to Po Folks. The service seems to be deteriorating but the food is at least unchanged. I went home, played with my media machine computer, and went to Hillsboro Lake. I took my dad's Honda which is now a secondary car. I want to use it to save gas and to keep the car in running condition. I call it the General Tso. The reason for this name is that some Athens comedians did a "The Damn Show" DVD. Therein is a sketch in which "The Gooks of Hazzard" drive a Celica with a Japanese flag and 01 written in a Chinese font. They call it the "General Tso" and can run away from the sheriff as they have better gas mileage.

The lake is on the Jones/Jasper line and was drained a few years ago. The campsites were taken down by the US Forest Service and there are red flags within 12 feet of the lake's former rim. The beavers have tried to dam the lake so there is standing water. I ate some chicken I bought in Gray and walked around. I still have a little stamina left.

I am almost finished with my air compressor but it won't get above 40 PSI. I need compression washers that don't leak as badly.
