I Won My First Blog Contest

Posted in Personal on September 25th, 2007

I was out trolling some forums and came across a link to a blog contest about a picture puzzle. The contest was on skeet’s stuff and you can get to the contest here.

The contest was easy, and I would think so since I won it. I didn’t get the 10$ prize winnings yet but I did enjoy guessing at the image. Skeet is holding the contest on Tuesdays, so go there and check it out, should be lots of fun.

Oh My God, Can I catch a Break!

Posted in The RX7 on September 25th, 2007

Got p this morning to start up the ol’ RX-7 and she wouldn’t start. Oh for the love of God! The hours that I have spent working on this car to keep it running.

I sit here bitching about the fact that I work on my own car by choice. I really do not want to pay someone to work on my car. For one, it is hard to find someone that knows how to work on the car. The motor is a rotary, and just not your run of the mill piston motor. A simple motor with complex physics.

A while back the motor over heated and it has been down hill ever since it seems. I’m not sure if the problems that I have been having is a direct relation to that over heating incident. I do know that it is starting to drive me crazy, and my crazy I mean mad.

I wish I had the funds to put another motor in the car. Right now I am having to fight to keep it on the road. Maybe I will get a ton of traffic and linkbacks so that I will be able to make more money from the adds on the site.

Tonight I will go home, change into work on car clothes and start all over again on the trouble shooting. I think that I will swap the fuel pump out as well this time just in case that is causing the problem. I hope that my spark plugs are not fouled out beyond recovery. I really don’t look forward to replacing them twice in 2 months.

If you fee like donating to my RX-7 cause, mark [at] mouseclone [dot] com is my paypal address. Thank you in advance to any proceeds.
