5/14-16/14

This weekend was good. I spent half of it with one pair of grandparents and the other half with the other pair of grandparents. The first pair was just a spend saturday with since I don't see them often. The other pair was do yard work because they need help with the yard work. On my way to my second pair's house, I stopped at a garage sale and picked up a Panasonic 3DO for $2. I was really happy. Obviously the lady that sold it to me had no idea what it was. She probably thought it was some kind of CD or DVD player. It doesn't work as of right now, but even for parts it's worth over $30. But I'm not going to get rid of it so fast. I'm going to talk with my one friend who really knows tech and see if he and I can fix it. Later.

Today was good. I went to church with my parents. I played some Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Did a little yard work. Helped my grandparents with their bed. It's kind of funny, in the morning our internet was down. That was the main reason I played videogames, because I play videogames when the internet is down. Hear that Microsoft, I play videogames when I can't access the internet. I wouldn't be able to use the original XBOX ONE if you went through with the always online crap. Later.

Today was pretty good. I went to work. Today we finished engine disassembly and assembly. It was fun. Unfortunately I hit the ratchet a little hard a couple to many times. Got me a nice bruise on the palm of my hand. It's a little sore. I also went out to dinner with my family. That was fun, and tasty. I do have some bad news though. I ordered Pac-Man Fever in the mail and the record came today. Unfortunately the person who shipped it had no idea how to ship a vinyl record and it came broken. 10 layers of gift bag tissue paper and packing tape does not make for a protective way to ship a fragile vinyl record. You need buble wrap, card board, "do not bend" and "fragile" stamps. Really sucks. Now I need to either get a replacement or a refund. Later.

Today was great. Today I took an engine apart as part of my training. This was fun. We talked about what each part does, how it works, and all the other fun science behind it. We took a complete engine apart, all the way down to the engine block. Here's a funny story from today. To take apart the engines, we did it in teams of 2 or 3. There was one group of all women and they took the longest to finish. They were having trouble loosening some of the bolts. The instructor had to help them. One woman said "I am an independent woman, but this is the one thing I need a man for." How she said it added to the funny. Later.

Yeah, sorry about missing yesterday. I just started an internship with an automaker. Since I'll be working with rather proprietary processes, I don't think I can really talk about what I did during the day. Sorry guys, I'll pretty much be stopping for a while. I can tell you that yesterday was my first day and I did safety training all day and today I did a whole lot of sitting around doing nothing. When I wasn't doing nothing, I was getting a plant tour. Really productive, I know. Later.

Today was pretty good. I woke up early and went to church with my family. Today being mothers day was a day where my family goes out to a nice lunch/dinner. But before food, we went to costco to get picture frames for my grandma. After costco, we went to my grandparents. We fixed their bed, fixed their phones, and basically that. Dinner was good. We got a little lost on the way there. Nothing to eventful, just lost. Then we went to dinner. If things were more eventful, I would do a big blog about it. But things more pretty low key. We talked about asparagus. Basically my day. Later.

Today was good. I did a dry run to my new job that I start Monday. I did some garage saling. I went to CVS and Walmart for errands. I bought my mom and grandma mothers day cards. Basically it. Later.
