HNFB- Half Nekk'ed Fire Bug

(HNT with a fire Update)

I'm sill here! and this song has been stuck in my head since everything started.


for those of you not in the know, California is suffering from the worst string of wildfires in the history of the state. the cost along has already hit 1 Billion dollars in damages, and their still not out yet.

here's some perspective for you




Now, before you panic for Lil' Ol Exile i made a modified map to show where i am compared to the fires...


(i included Randi's general area just as an FYI)

as you can see, I'm relatively safe, (that green blog between me and the Santiago Cyn fire is a mountain, so I'm OK). here's a picture from the other side of the mountain:

(i used to live right down the street from there, i remember when those houses were built)



right now, the closest fire to where i am, is to the south. i work in Temecula, which is north of the fire.

here's is a shot from my cellphone yesterday:


it looks scary, but it's pretty far away. the whipping winds carried the smoke everywhere, but the flames are still miles away. so just so you know, I'm a bit smokey, but sill here


Speaking of smoke, i thought I'd share my newest addition to my work wardrobe


luckily i can make this look good



a slight shift of the winds and we now all look like we have SARS, but luckily i still can give a little smile



(I'm smoke'n!)

I Got A Turtle Heed Poke'n Out

With the only thing left to do on this weekend being a whole bunch of laundry i thought i could do a weekend update a little early.

As you read on my last post, i picked up a Laptop for Hella on Friday, and since then I've been working on it. i bought* her for her for $150 and the programing was a wreck (*well, i took negotiated getting it, but she's sending the money for the laptop... i wouldn't want everyone thinking I'm too wonderful). so while i did get a sweet deal, it needed some work. here's a little list of what it needed:

• the Operating System was trashed, something in the computer jammed the entire system, so the computer needed a full re-install.


• all of the computer programs needed to be reinstalled (lots of disks=lots of time)


• windows needed some major upgrades (all those times you've done it on your computer, compressed into one sitting.)


• installed yahoo, MS word, AVG antivirus, Search and Destroy (spyware killer)


• adjusted the power setting so her hard drive won't crash like mine did. (long time back, i was on a plane and when i shut down my computer i closed the lid, but when i closed the lid the standby system over rode the shutdown and so the hard drive stayed on when i put it in the bag.)


• i took apart the back side of the laptop and cleaned all the dust, cat hair (wtf), and dust bunnies from the fan and housing.


• removed all the dirt, finger grime, and stickers from the the computer. (had to scrub ever key)

OK, not to brag, but this computer looks pretty. it looks damn pretty. Hella's laptop is about as fast as mine, and looks better too (i guess the carpenter's steps are always broken, hehehe). the only difference is that her wireless a little less reception than i do, but it's won't effect anything.

Seeing as though i live near the Lake Elsinore Outlet Mall, i was going to run an errand to Bath And Body Works for Hella, but they're not carrying the lotion she wants. of course, it wasn't until just now that i realized that she's not looking for lotion, she's looking for a BODY WASH! yeah, so needless to say i have to go back and act like i wasn't the guy arguing that they did carry it... yeah, I'm that guy.

so this is what i need to pick up:

there's always tomorrow

i also went to Costco, to get new glasses, of course, when i was ready they told me that my insurance is all screwed up and that i couldn't get the glasses. so now I'll have to wait a week or so, but with any luck I'll be able to see again! (actually my old glasses are fine save for all the scratches, hehehe)

finally, on my way out of Costco, i wound up making a new little friend...



he's so cute, reminds me of my old turtle when i was a kid (that turtle was named asshole after it took a piece out of my hand...). there is one little problem with the little guy... i don't' have a name for him!

I've been toying with a few names, but I'm actually going to leave this one up to all the bloggers. leave your name suggestions in the comments and I'll post a poll later this week of the names i like the most that you can vote on. if your suggestion wins you might get a prize. (i have no idea what kind of prize yet)

Snu-snu-versary!

how can you consider the number 13 unlucky when it's associated with the 2nd best day of your life?

it was one year ago today it was Friday the thirteenth, and a certain Cali-boy was flying out to see a certain Canuck.

I'm sure you all remember reading about the trip (click here to refresh your memory).

that trip was full of so many tasty memories, and there isn't a day that goes by that my mind doesn't conjure up those vivid memories to make it through my day.


even though we've only had mere moments of time together over this year, it has been the happiest year of our lives.

not a day goes by that i don't think of her smile, and there isn't a night that goes by that i wouldn't give anything just to watch her sleep next to me



but like i said, this is the anniversary of the 2nd happiest day of my life...
the happiest day of my life was the 1st time she told me that she loved me.


(not my secret, but very fitting)

HNR- Half Nekk'ed Request

As many of you have already seen on hella's blog(and if you haven't give your head a shake), this HNT Hella fulfilled a little request of mine. i wanted her to pose in the PJs i gave her on mother's day.

That saucy little trouble maker pulled off my request (and them some.)

but such a request doesn't get made with out one in turn.
she wanted one of me under a sheet showing off my calves...

well, seeing as though i sleep with just a blankey i hope this will appease




I hope everyone enjoyed Hella's! And baby, know that I'm always thinking of you...

in case you can't tell, hehehe

(some very naughty thoughts led to this!)


(good thing she requested the pic instead of something bigger... like her dream car)


HHNT!

A Whole Bunch Of WTF

Man, my day was full of WTFs. or should i say, i had a day's worth of WTFs. three of them.

Who The Fuck?
I charged out on my lunch so that i would have enough time to hit the Costco gas station and have enough time to eat. When i got there there was a line of cars (5 per pump). so i sat there in the heat and waited.

when i was finally "next to next" i noticed the car at the "front pump" pulled out. now, normally this is the key for the person in front of me to drive through the station, then back up to the pump. instead, some lady comes driving up between the two aisles of cars.

at first i figured she probably just wanted to leave, but no, as soon as she made her way to the front pump she backed up. THE BITCH BACKED UP INTO THE FUCKING PUMP! i was pissed to the point of enraged, who the fuck did this stupid bitch think she was? what made her so god damn special? so not only did i have to wait my turn for gas, but i had to wait hers too.

i was completely livid and i was dying to go out there and say something... unfortunately i couldn't think of a single thing i would say that wouldn't end with me shoving that nozzle up her... well, she'd definitely have gas.

How The Fuck?
for the past couple of weeks my truck has been acting up, a little bit of grind here and there when i go to shift. after first i thought it was my clutch slipping, but when i checked the fluid it looked full...

it looked full

today after lunch i decided i was getting tired of grinding every time i put it in reverse, so i popped the hood. and opened the clutch reservoir. now when i say reservoir I'm being generous, this thing is the size of a shot glass. when opened the cap i saw that the small black rubber bucket (i have no better term for this thing) was full of clutch fluid. so i decided to pull the stupid black thing out of the reservoir... bone dry!

how the fuck did this happen? i was told by a mechanic that the little black bucket was a filter for the clutch fluid, but this was ass backwards. the fluid was supposed to be poured directly into the reservoir, and when it needed to be pumped back into the reservoir it's supposed to crush the little black bucket to make space without getting air in the line.

so i used the little bit of fluid in the bucket to get my clutch working again (i filled it later on at the parent's house).

this leaves me wondering one thing, HOW THE FUCK DID SOMEONE BECOME A MECHANIC AND NOT KNOW THIS SHIT! I've been grinding my gears like a pole dancer try'n to earn money for baby formula because this ass clown doesn't know how to fill a clutch reservoir!

Why The Fuck
At work we have the job books at every machine.
the technicians often staple the work orders to these flimsy little paper books

when they need the work order they just rip the sheet of paper off the book leaving the staples in place. the staples of doom!

do you see this picture of the cute little buggy? (photographed by Brapps)


imagine right there in the corner where his little antenna is a very sharp, very hooked staple being jammed into that small little space between nail and flesh. now imagine that the hooked staples was scraping the whole way in, gouging that tender skin beneath the nail. now imagine that the book that i was holding was in mid-spin and thus twisted the staple deeper into my thumb.

i had to unscrew the staple out of my thumbnail.

the two parter to this one is WHY THE FUCK WOULD SOMEONE LEAVE A STAPLE STICKING OUT LIKE THAT? and WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS SHIT HURT SO FUCKING BAD? i mean sweet dead baby Jesus that fucking hurt, it's been hours since and it still aches




man...
What The Fuck?

Blogger Hates Me

Did you know Blogger hates me?

it's true. it does weird things to my posts and even my comments.

i was going back through my old posts (i have drafts that need to be published) and i noticed that one post that i know i posted was still in the draft mode.

i thought no one commented on it because i posted it on 911, but it turns out that blogger is a huge douche... a douche filled with dirty water (ewww).

so here's a link to the post that blogger forgot: click here

blogger also likes to delete the comments i leave on other peoples blogs. i can't count how many times I'll leave a comment on Hella's blog and the next day it's gone...

damn blogger make'n me look bad!
pttttthhh! like i need any help from blogger to make myself look bad, sheesh.

HNFT- Half Nekk'ed Fish'n Trip

last weekend i went on a "guys only" fishing trip

it consisted of My Dad, My Bro, His Friend, My cousin's husband, myself, and beer.

Our first day at the cabin consisted of cleaning up pine needles around the cabin. this went far quicker that last year, seeing as though people actually showed up to help this time. after that we decided to do a little fishing before the sun went down.

we went to the lake.
we sat on the shore.
everyone else casted in, i sat on a rock cursing at the rats nest that was my reel.
(you don't know how frustrating it is to be the only one who can't get his line in the water... makes you feel... insecure.)

the funny thing was that even though my line didn't get into the water, i was having just as much catching fish as everyone else.

so with boredom and frustration set in i went exploring the small allotment of beach we had. i was starting to get irked at the fact that Big Bear is such a awesome place and yet people still dump their trash on the shore. there were beer cans all over even through the trash can was only 10 feet away. as i looked over the empty cans in disgust i noticed two of them that weren't crushed at all.

the cans were actually in their original shape. so i leaned over to inspect them and it turns out that the can were not only in pristine shape, but so was the beer inside them. so while everyone else got skunked the first day of our fishing trip, i caught my self a couple 16 oz. aluminum stripers!
