Not much to blog about…

Almost one month since the last post and not too much happening. I’m roaming around the usual places, doing usual stuff. Slowly starting to look for some good paying work. Wondering on what to do next. Doing plenty of technical stuff, writing tutorials about it and then not publishing them because they’re not finished yet and I’m already on another project and so on and so forth. At least I took a nice picture of the “Trust me, I’m an engineer” category. Technically I’m no engineer but at least the guy on the picture is. For those of you who do not instantly see what’s going on: Operating a BBQ indoors is kinda smelly so we fitted the ventilation system for car exhausts with a custom made cardboard hood to extract the fumes. Since it wouldn’t stay in place by itself it’s supported by the workshop crane.

Shopping at “Combi” Market

You probably know these days where you run to the store to buy a VHS-Tape to record the new Game of Thrones Episode which will be on free TV in a couple of minutes. Suddenly you realize that they got a good deal on floppy disks as well and you remember that you run out of these as well. Decades ago… The Photo was taken today… The sign says something like: “Attention! Article is on sale out, please stock up”… You don’t say!image

 

One step after the other…

Not much to blog about over here. Over the holidays I had some really good fun with old and new friends. The weather sucks big time, it’s snowing. At Easter holidays…

The last time I remember snow at Eastern was a couple of years ago. I went rock climbing with friends in the french alps (haute alps, elevation 1000m +). Even there it was pretty uncommon.

An oldschool champagne colored beemer (BMW). Something’s wrong with this picture… I nearly laughed my ass off…

The ToDo List is still long but I’m getting there. The pornstyler has a new cardan joint and distributor. The wideband lambda is working fine and I finally understand the injection system and the (hopefully) final spare part is ordered and will arrive next week. The pickup part of the travel vehicle is in really good shape, I’m still not sure about the cabin. We’ll see. Today I want to prepare the station wagon for sale (rip out stereo system, fix idling problem). And maybe install the reversing camera on the travel vehicle. But that would be two steps…

I’m a number… 189 to be precise

Another hour or two down the drain. The Verkehrzulassungsbehörde. I hate it here. On the parking lot car buyers are roaming around hoping to buy a car dead cheap. I was tempted for a second because the pornstyler still runs like shit. It’s idling at 2000+ RPM until you kick down the pedal for a short time than its dropping to 750RPM but still not idling fine. Either the Steuerkolben (dosage rod?) of the KE Jettronic gets struck every time or the fixed electrics try to use the surplus fuel by adding some air. Depressing. The board says 163, maybe i can finish the pornstyler story on the blog before it’s registered in my name…

I’m really curious how long this “blogging everything” phase will last. And if I will start publishing fotos of the food I’m eating. Properbly not…

Also it’s a very nice move to put a TV in here, turn it on and set it to mute.

Update: It took about an hour all in all and everything worked out fine. Except that the DHL guy was very early today and didn’t deliver the packages I’m waiting for to the neighbours but will take them to my most favourite post office.

Waiting in line at the postoffice to recover license plates… Not..

Awesome! The wordpress app for android allows me to blog every shit whenever I’m bored. So i can spread my boredom around by blogging utterly useless crap. Hmmm. Memo to self: stop blogging crap.

Finally my turn comes and the attended says: I’m sorry your package hasn’t arrived yet. Alright, the notification has arrived Saturday saying pickup at the next working day (which is today). My package will properbly arrive during the day… fuck. Another half hour of my life lost…
