Well, we seem to have fixed the truck with a lot of help from Terra’s dad and our neighbor who stepped in and saved the day 🙂

Swapped out the brake master cylinder, flushed/bled the whole system, and now we’re off to walmart to try it out and so far so good! 🙂

So much to do, so little time.

Terra and I are sitting here on the couch, staring off into space, trying to think of some ‘glass half full’ stuff.

She secured a ride to get the parts we need. I guess tomorrow morning, I’ll see if I can do the swap-outs. How hard can it be? o.O

@RamboKK Yeah, I think my point was it never stops and the only attitude I can change is mine or else I end up genuinely despising them.

@RamboKK Try to take comfort that a lot (most?) of us go through it. Otherwise you DO start wondering if you’re really as bad as they say 😛

This IS what we want next. For an intimate little coffee ritual in the sitting room — Yama Tabletop with Metal Filter http://bit.ly/f3E5Fz

@RamboKK Yeah, it’s why I follow you – I get tweets from a few random locals. Though I think we were both Plateau regulars at the same time.

@RamboKK I knew a couple Rachels at Plateau when I used to go there every night a couple years ago. Just don’t know if you’re one of ’em 🙂

If we ever get extra money it’s our next coffee purchase 😛 Otherwise, birthdays hit this summer 🙂 When we get, all tweeps are invited! 😉

Got Papa John’s delivery for dinner – seemed a good day to open the Sebastiani 2006 Merlot (sonoma county) we’d been saving – it’s AMAZING.

So far, Repo – The Genetic Opera is the best DTS mix I’ve heard on a blu-ray so far.

Getting white chocolate and red food coloring. The intention is a pink fondue for our valentine’s day spn – we’ll see if it works.

NOT happy with a certain auto shop on 1st st who gave the truck a clean bill of health yet we just had to walk halfway home from the store.

Are we the only ones having internet issues?? Usually when there’s an issue I see locals tweeting, but nobody is – ours is horrible all day.

Since Netflix IW isn’t working, we can’t watch Terra’s choice Sweet Home Alabama – we’re watching her dvd of Hope Floats. Chick flickerific.

The "pink chocolate" fondue is great, btw. And the Irish Coffee with it is – erm, was. hic! – excellent 🙂

And we’ve finally answered the question. Knickers, while an unfortunate name, turns out is an excellent Irish Cream. And we’re REALLY picky.

@don_rivers I was afraid you’d say something like that.

I need that thing in The Matrix to download massive knowledge instantly so I could know how to go make the truck right. Brake trouble 🙁

Or say screw it, the world can turn without me today, and go to Cruces with @don_rivers. Sigh. I wish.

It’s been a working on the truck day. Joy. It seems things are worse now. Though, got the choke adjusted correctly, it seems.

But, it seems we blew the master cylinder on our way to get parts we now don’t know if we needed or not. Limped home on the emergency brake.

Do I sound like a real man now?

Just had an ex sighting at Walgreens. Mine this time. My ex pastor 😛 Long story.

I’ve said for years: If I couldn’t have a home coffee bar, 2nd choice would be home ice cream sundae bar. I’d put in the same enthusiasm.

Tonight will be a special valentine day edition slumber party with chocolate fondue, irish coffee, and the sappiest movie Terra can find 😉

Just heard in a country song on an old tape I found: "She took my keys away and now she won’t drive me to drink."

Been working around the kitchen and bar, listening to a cassette of The Lost Tapes with George Gimarc I recorded off the radio 12 years ago.

The short-to-the-point-of-misleading answer to "What’s The Lost Tapes?" is a talk show about pop music that aired every Sat night for years.

George Gimarc knows probably everything about music history and has a mind-manglingly massive collection of rare recordings.

No idea why it’s been a few days since my tweets stopped posting to Facebook but it looks like it’s just you and me for now, uh, ‘tweeps’.

Did not know he had an entry on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Gimarc He obviously deserves one.

Anyway, I have about 30 of The Lost Tapes I recorded off radio in tha day. I probably have more of his show than I do The Dr. Demento Show.

New trinket on the bar: Bottled Poetry (wine) http://flic.kr/p/9hp846

Ok, maybe that fixed it. My Twitters haven’t been posting to Facebook, maybe they will now?

Admittedly quite a few i didn’t know or had forgotten http://www.eternalcode.com/100-google-tricks-that-will-save-you-time-in-school

Whoa, slumber party gold. Netflix IW has all the Friday the 13th movies (except the Freddy crossover) and the first two Hellraiser movies.

Sick of hearing it’s gonna warm up. I’m finally getting to wear my favorite coat and sweaters! Don’t want more snow, just cold.

Never thought of it, but yeah, I agree meaningless descriptor RT @CoffeeAdventure: RT @dearcoffeeiluvu: Boycott bold. http://fb.me/zASIdjt5

Comic books b2g1free at Hastings and the display moved back can’t be a good sign. Terra’s pretty hooked at this point.

Can’t decide which I love more, The Darjeeling Limited or The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Passionate about both lately.

I want to be a Wes Anderson character. Hm. Who am I kidding? I already am. He needs to write me a part so I can get paid for this!

@don_rivers Zissou is more technically intricate, surreal; Darjeeling more emotionally engaging. Both a stylistic "see also" to Tenenbaums.

"I quit school ‘cuz I didn’t like recess." One of many great lines in The Apostle. (Vudu got our buck tonight.)

rated "The Apostle" 4.5 stars on #VUDU! http://www.vudu.com/movies/contentId/5232

Again with the late night sonic booms. That was three big ones in a row.

@prdpgn as i look back at tweets of the past, i’ve noticed this time of year i’ve twittered that we get a lot of late sonic booms.

@prdpgn my tweets archive to my blog + decent wp site search plugin + a couple years on twitter = find lots of interesting trivia 😛

RT @MicheleSims1: Did you hear that boom last night!? If you haven’t heard, night flying is happening again… http://fb.me/DS5mZb8S

What a wasted year. It’s been 8 months since my bday and I’ve only used the Monty Python "I’m 37, I’m not old!" line once or twice.

Love this one, have the Signature Collection LaserDisc RT @vudufans: 99 Cent Movie of the Day for 2/7 is "The Apostle" http://fb.me/UqQ9vvud

My beloved black auto 510 battery seems to have suddenly died 🙁 That was the only auto I owned, too, grrr. Should buy a 5-pack next time.

Put a tapedeck at the bar, so, tonight’s long-overdue slumber party is starting with Dr. Demento from May 3, 1998 and Irish coffees 🙂

This is the first time we’re trying Irish coffee made with siphon/vac pot coffee. Should be great 🙂

Tonight’s slumber party night junk food movie – a choice by Terra I’ve still somehow never seen – the one, the only, The Evil Dead.

Btw, noticed Waxwork and Waxwork II: Lost in Time are both on Netflix IW. Both a lot of fun.

Spending the rest of the day marathoning Lexx – gonna finish s3 and start s4. Just found out a new box set is coming in march! Not U.S. 🙁

Worried about Lexx s4 – heard very little good. But, we’ve been at this for over a year, wanna see it all. Then, we’ll start over 🙂

Anyway, we have three eps of Lexx s3 to go. We have become squealing, slobbering fans of this show. Even Wesley loves it 🙂

Tore sitting room apart looking for the ball from Terra’s BlackBerry – screw it, order it from Amazon. Wesley walks up, "What’s this?" O.O

Seriously, it was our entire morning. Flipped the couch over, got in a fight about it, everything. And we were about to next-day air it.
