The weekend.

Well, I did have a half a page of stuff writtenhere, but it all was erased some how. This weekend was rather interesting. I did not get any hw done hardly, but my cusin turned 19 Sunday and I got to hang around with an older guy at my church. I would put more info here about our chat, but I don't want to talk about here anything without his approval. I looked at the car that was dropped off at my house during thanksgiving weekend for a few minutes. It is going to need a few repairs. I noticed that the oil was pitch black. It was blacker than my computer, but I did not see any water in it or anything that said that there was something worng with the oil other than it needs to be changed. So, I looked at what I call the "burp keg". Most people refer to this as the antifreeze over flow or something of that sort, but I like my describtion better. It was empty. There was not any antifreeze or water in it, so I looked in the radiator, I did not see anything there either. This is bad. I called up the mom and she did say that it steamed whenever the heater was used last winter and that they have been trying to keep water in it. With this new info, I looked in the car and saw that they was a little bit of water on the flor board below the heat exchanger. Just for your information, an heat exchanger gets the hot antifreeze form the engine and allows air to blow through it so that you are warm durnig the winter. Sometimes these things leak after a few years. So, I have officially found the first thing that is going to cost money to fix. So, the list of stuff to do now on the car has gromw to: change the oil, replace the heat exchanger, flush the coolant, and check out the car some more. I need to check the spark plugs,the spark plug wires, the distributor cap, the coil, driver train, and much much more. The car is a Buick LeSaber. I think it looks like an '86 model. Well, more on that subject later. I am sure that most people here are really not into mechanic work, so I will not go on any longer today. Well, I have things to do and places to be. Later

Update before review week.

Well, nothing came about last weekend when I looked at a friend's car, she was so scared, she got her mom to bring the car out to my parents' house. Oh well. I was not expecting too much. So, does any one actuall read blogs any more? It has been a while since anyone has posted, and even longer since anyone has posted comments. I wander if anyone actually reads my blog anymore? I will have to say that I am guilty of not reading blogs. I have been playing in the Yahoo Chat rooms, aminly in Dtudy Group 1. I have been meeting all sorts of interesting people. I have run accross an interesting thing that looks like a scam. I am going to have to look into it to make sure that I don't get in trouble. Here is how the story goes. First it says that it is a he and needs help on a hw. That goes okay and everything. A few days later (if I did not log my ims I would not know the person form any onther) claims that it is a she and that she would like to chat. So you chat with them about 10 minutes or so, enough that they start to run out of things to say then they ask for your email, some times it is less than 8 minutes. They send you a pic of some cover girl model that is actually clothed. Then for 2 or 3 days longer, they periodically instant message you an may email you. Then just when you think that you might want to keep on chatting as a pin pall or something, it nails you with a request for a your home address to send you some money form some relative here in the US to send to them (assuming that they are in nigeria, Africa, or some eastern country) via western union or something of the sort. That is rather interesting, why can't the relative send it? If you ask that question, it disappears for a day or two and asks you again. I am going to keep callining he,she, it, or what ever it is "it" due lack of a better name. Well, due to how late it is and how much I have written I am goiing to log out. Maybe some one else has seen this scam or what ever it is? Well, let me know, you have no reason you can't, I have left my yahoo nickname in my profile and there is a comments section here too. Later all.
