So I haven't been here for a while.
I've been working. Trying to earn that extra dollar as it were.
GeoPalooza is just over the horizon and I now must concentrate on increasing the comfort level in my car so my beautiful wife will be able to stand being cooped up with me for 9 - 10 hours.
Yesterday was sound install day.
First I put in a factory radio given to me by one of my Chevy Dealer Friends. It was a straight forward install. Pull dash trim. Plug in radio. Bolt in place. Replace trim.
No Pics. I didn't even think about the camera till I was deep into the project.
But I found out I had one speaker working and three were not.
Bummer.
I called around for prices and realized that speakers, even small ones, aren't cheap anymore. (its all those d@mn ricers fault)
So as I was wondering what to do, I got a call from one of my friends who needed help putting his fence back up. Hannah blew it down and now he needs it back. I was able to get four speakers from his garage 2 that are 4.5 inch round and 2 that are 6 inch round. The 6 inch ones were blown badly. Trash.
The 4.5s were still O.K.
Remove interior to access speakers
Cut and fit speakers to existing mounts
Add self drilling self tapping screws
Reinstall all parts and enjoy. Still need to get two more speakers, but hey this works for now.
Today I work on the A/C for my lovely bride. I have gone all summer without and I have felt no ill effects. So what if I get to work sweaty, it is only a matter of minutes before I get sweaty at work. Going home is O.K. there is no sun so it is rather pleasant.
And now for some random pics
This is what happens when you stop faster than the biker behind you
No, not really,
A friend is having trouble so I brought her bike to my house for repair. Neat tow rig don't you think?
This is Buddha, he came over to help me unload the bike.
(I didn't get it in by myself either)
This is the car belonging to the Biker Girl. Notice anything odd about the front?
You are correct. She has a grill block made from black coroplast and side holes covered in duct tape.
HHmmmmmm
Where did she ever get that idea?
