Mortal Kombat

Picked up a FREE arcade from a friend of mine. I say FREE because I traded a piece of a juke box glass that I found for this Arcade. According to the owner of it, It did not work!! I had asked him awhile back for an Arcade cabinet because I wanted to build a M.A.M.E. arcade "Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator" Well I brought home this Arcade in 2 pieces, the lower half and the upper half. Wires were all cut or upluged, the side of the wood was damaged and so was the other side. I said to myself "let me see if I can fix it" I wanted to put on my T-shirt that reads "Bad Mother%^@*er" because I LOVE to fix stuff. Do I have a clue what I am doing? NO, but I can always figure out how or why does this go there and what makes what work etc. After about an hour of messing with this Thing, and MANY plug in trys to the outlet with NO LUCK, I Finally figured out where the missing link was causing it NOT to turn on. All arcades have a on / off toggle switch somewhere behind the machine. This machine was missing that switch but the wires were there, but obviously it had some sort of Violent cut. I needed to know how to by pass a toggle swith that has 4 wires. With the help of Google, I was able to find out that you connect wire 1 and 3 together and wires 2 and 4 together. I then plugged it in and Presto!

I by the look of my garage you can tell I have no room for other stuff so I have no clue were this is going to go but I knew I could sell this faster than I can sell a piece of glass.

FORD, meet your Maker

Well today I had to go to my friends shop to install a 250 dollar damn fuel pump on my truck that has been INOP for over a month now. After the install my friend Jesse who is the owner of the shop that let me use his tools and his Lift to work on my truck "because I dont have that kind of equipment at my house to do such a job", he asked if I would go would go with my friend Josh to go dispose of a 1986 Ford Econoline van. I took a crack at it and took off the tail lights and blinkers and the ingnition module, I FORGOT to take of the side mirrors grrrr!!!!!! I realized that I forgot when I saw it up in the air .. LOL .. oops. OH, one thing that was going to stay at the shop were the rims, so we undid all but 1 lug nut but we left that one nut very LOOSe so that only 1 or 2 more turns would make it come off ... WAS scary taking the rims off with that thing in the air.. sorry for the movement but I put the phone in my mouth when I was taking the front left rim off and then i jumped in the bed of the truck for a tool. All in All he still got 152 bucks from the junk yard for that hunk of crap !!

Sorry for the Blare witch video, understand I had to take off a tire and jump in the bed of the truck with my phone still recording so it was jumpy, hope nobody throws up watching it. OH and I mumbled some words because the phone was in my MOUTH.

Happy Fathers day !

Well my first fathers day and it felt no different than any other day, no gifts, no special things other than a few extra phone calls and thats fine by me. Worked 6am - 6pm and fell asleep for about 2 1/2 hrs so when I woke up thats when I was playing with the baby. She was already asleep but I work her up, im glad she is not moody like her father. p.s. I knew my dad would forget to tell me happy fathers day, so I told him "Dad I know you were not much of a provider or a leader / idol or father but Happy Fathers Day" luckly I knew he could not hear what I said thats why I said it... LOL , I love you pops , you know Im always busting your chops, I guess thats why you never take me seriously !

Where is all the money going to ?

Well here I am, the king procrastinator !! I ALWAYS wait till the last minute to do EVERYTHING this time it caught up to me. I had meant and was going to input my checking account info and routing # etc. so that way my checks can be direct deposit into my checking account. Well when I saw my pay statement online I saw that it was deposited into an account ending in 4 different #'s I had never heard of before. I then realized since I never entered my info the company signed me into a Cheap ghetto looking debt card that is plane and gray with a red star on it. My money is in there and I saw the info on how much they charge per transaction and such and it is Ridiculous. I called on the phone and the first thing I asked that Pakistanian woman was "Is this call charging me anything because your fee's charge for EVERYTHING" even balance inquires over the phone is a dollar deducted from your account. She said "NO, the first call is FREE" LOL .... I seriously said "that is CRAZY, you guys charge all of these fee yet to replace a lost of stolen Debt card you fee is FREE, I dont get it"

What happened to good old days of paper checks? yes save trees and such. Soon there is not going to be any money anymore everything is going to be plastic. How can one purchase a used car from a private seller or something "oh wait let me use my debt card to buy that classic car off you" HELL NO !!! I know my memory blows and if I had a dollar in my pocket I wouuld look at it right now but I know it says "For Debts public or PRIVATE" Private being the key word im looking at. anyways continue on with your lifes dont mind me Im just blowing off sme steam. Stick it to the man !

I got my old Job back..!!

After Years and a few more years, and a few crappy jobs later I finally got the chance to go back to work for the company that I love to work for, American Airlines. This was one of those jobs where I really loved doing what I did. I don't know what it was or what got me hooked, maybe it was the Strange passengers on a daily basis, or working outside around an aircraft, who knows but it wasn't till I left that I have regretted it ever since. Either way I got my chance again. I am in Dallas Fort Worth on training for 4 wks and a possible 1 more week for additional training. Dont get me wrong it is VERY nice here, it still is the same as it was when I was here 10yrs ago, only this time I own a Digital camera and walking around with a Mp3 player instead of how I was then with NO Camera and walking around with a cassete walk-man. Here are some pics here and I hope I dont get in trouble of posting pics of this facility on the net.

here is a shot of the Dorm rooms taken from the 2nd floor near the cafe. Next pic is the walkway from the dorms to the cafe and then the Training rooms are beyond that. This place is HUGE and is very VERY nice. It has everything you can think of !! From Arcade machines to obsticle courses outside.

Easter pics

I've had these photos on my camera and had never uploaded them nor saved them to my pc. There are TONS of photos that I would just loose emotionally if I lost this camera with the memory card in it. So I've decided to save them and blog about her. This is my daughter Nadia and this is/ was her first Easter. These 2 photos were taken outside my house on Easter. I didn't mean to post this so late but once I've blogged it, theres no coming back. Miss you, love Daddy

Well Good Morning !

What a way to start off the day. I decided to try and get this convertible on the road again so I was working on the engine late last night. I left the hood up while charging the battery, well this morning I go out to check on the charger and I hear a noise. The noise was almost like a baby bird screaming and it was coming from somewhere under my car/motor, well turns out it was not a bird but a baby rabbit was being eaten alive "I saw it for a second, but ran and got my gun", but when I got back I could not find the snake anymore because it moved somewhere else under the car. The car is SO LOW as it is that I could not even look under there. All the work last night and I still could not turn on the car so I swallowed my pride and hooked up a tow rop to the rear axle as fast as I could because I knew there was a Snake under there. As soon as I got the rope hooked up I got the truck and put it in Low 1 and yanked that car out as fast as I could and ran to see where it might go IF IT WAS TO COME OUT AT ALL l!!! Well I was ready with my .22 riffle and was Shocked when I saw hold long that sucker was at it was REally moving away from me very fast and was going towards my house.

I love animals and I cant even kill spiders, and maybe this was a good snake to have in the yard to eat the field mice but this guy was too big and I did not want anything happen to my boys who are outside.. that be the dogs "Animal", "Boomer" , and "Munchie" !!

I wont leave this blog on that long because I dont want people to think I do this stuff for fun. I really did feel bad afterwards. Its not his or her fault that they were born a snake its just he slitthered under the wrong house and car.

whats 1 more camaro huh ?

I guess you can say Im a camaro FREAK because this Camaro makes #7. BUT as much as I would like to bring a nice model like this back to life, I cant. Lets just say that this one is just a Parts car / Donor vehicle. Parts from this car will help 2 other camaros. If I would of purchased the parts idividually it would be very expensive !! Was curious what worked mechanically when I got it home, so I hooked up my Optima battery to it and the parking lights were on the on position and the parking lights and fog lights came on right away to say hello to me. I just said "Aww they still work"

one for the records

No picture, no audio just a quick blog.

im not even gonna sugar coat it or make it interesting but in a nut shell :

I get a call from my nephew that if I can return some table and chairs to rental place today before they charge him again for not taking it in. So me who is normally an Ass with people yet I still dont have the heart to say "NO" !! I said sure. Well it was 5 huge round tables, 40 chairs, a trash bag of table clothes and 4 metal warmers for food. Turns out he had a party at his house this weekend, was a meet the family party between his family and hers. Well we weren't invited BUT I was the one who took the stuff back to the rental place. Hows that for Hi-jinks

While at the rental place I told the guy "Im returning some stuff for my nephew who threw a party that I was not invited to but Im the one whos returning the shit". he did not laugh he just said pull around the back. I said "im not unloading this I loaded all of this up myself" he then comes out and said "Oh this is So and So stuff" .. he said her name and I was like "WTF, dont tell me you know her" oh well , it just might get back to me.

either way I love my nephew even though I was not invited.
