Winter Intersession

Well it is that time of year again, when there is a nice gap between semesters so I can rest my busy head again. Unfortunately, this intersession is a little different from the last. I am very busy trying to get my AMS paper finished, withdrawing another paper, and also hoping to get far enough along with the tornadogenesis project that we can write a paper to KDD. That is a lot to have on my plate in the next couple months, all the while keeping an eye out for potential jobs and preparing to graduate.

I do have some ideas on how to work on the car between now and then though, so I am getting my mind all gathered up for a big push before next semester begins since I never know how much free time I will have after that. The one good thing coming up is that after I get a job and do the 9-5 thing, I will have much more time to actually work on the car. One other piece of good news is that I finally found the time to write up not one, but *two* more guides for your viewing pleasure! The new guides are replacing the license plate lens and installing a valve cover breather, as you can see all the guides I have posted here.

Just keep on trying ’til you run out of cake

Atrophy

I was driving home yesterday, tired from yet another day going to school and working for over 12 hours again. It was around 11 o’clock at night and a fresh mist was falling on the ground, leaving a glisten on the roads indicative of traction begging to be broken. While Katrina may not be a muscle car, lots of low end torque and very little weight on the rear allows for some fun. It was at this moment I was about to put my right foot to the floor when my calf started to hurt. It was then I realized just how much I missed driving a muscle car around. Many fun times were had with Shelley and I in a muscle car, and I feel many more will be had. So now, as I work and go to school, it is as though every time I see or think about a muscle car it is just a dream I cannot reach.

Though with this school semester coming to a close, I hay have some good news soon.

I think I need to exercise my accelerator foot some more
