That is all

Cannonball!

June Update

Since I keep seeing my "friend" from Ashburn, VA and Canada keeps coming to the site, I figured I would update them on what's going on.

I traveled to Elkhorn, Nebraska for my niece's graduation party. I saw my immediate family and caught up with my best friend. My brother took me to his new house and showed me around. My sister and brother-in-law took me to their weekend campsite they own. I had lunch with my best friend and we could have talked the rest of the day and probably on into the night.

After getting back, the light fixture in my dining room broke and almost crashed to the table. I was able to take it down before that happened. The parts I ordered back in March for my car finally arrived. A new Yperion titanium oil filler cap and titanium strut towner nuts. Before my trip, I put the VS Forged wheels back on my car along with the titanium lug nuts. It looks fantastic.

This weekend I was productive. I put a new ceiling box up in the dining room since the old one fell apart from being put up rather shitty. It was cracked and the mounting part came apart. Two separate shipments from Amazon came into today as well. A ceiling fan for my office and a new sputnik light fixture for the dining room. Only two extra trips to Home Depot were involved after getting the ceiling box.

Tomorrow I may do some yard work. I added grass seed to the front yard, which is taking and looking better. The freak snow storm earlier in the year looks to have killed the bushes I have in front of my house. I may need to cut those out.

A not so great shot of my car

A shot of the titanium strut tower nut (rainbow color) next to the OEM strut tower nuts. They not only look good, but I saved ounces of weight. OUNCES!

The busted ceiling box after I took down the light fixture.

The inside of the ceiling to show the mounting area broke. It was just barely holding together as I took it down.

The new ceiling box. This was a pain in the ass to install. I had to zip tie the mounting bracket so it would not move or fall off as I tried to put the screws in

For some reason the ceiling fan showed up before the dining room light fixture. I installed it and now my office is so much cooler to be in. This fan has a remote which is convenient

My new sputnik light fixture. Not as fancy as the previous fixture, but it works for me
