party at bill and pam's went rather well. julie played the match game for several rounds; i got to watch her play some of it. funny stuff. sat morning i sent julie off semi-early and me and pop came to nashville to work on the subaru. we got the radiator out and only then could we realize that the timing belt/gears/housing is bolted over 3/4 of the water pump...so there's way we were gonna mess with all that. so we got it towed to pep boys to have them work on it. they're gonna replace the timing belts while it's all out, so parts and labor all should cost a smidge under $400. bleh. that's not counting the $100 or so i've spent to get it towed twice. hopefully i'll be able to pick it up tomorrow night if they get it done and if kimberly can work it out to get over here in time to get me over to pep boys. oh, and i took pop to ted's montana grill for lunch/supper on sat as repayment for helping me with the car. sunday we doddled around all morning and then as i was leaving to go play dnd i was looking around under the bimmer's hood and noticed this one hose was loose that down almost inside the engine...well it's under the manifold..er something. anyway, it was busted off the nozzle. tried to fix it but the hose is just too old and would crack more the more we played with it. so hopefully we can get that fixed and maybe it'll idle a bit smoother. um, so yeah, played dnd, ate at el tequila afterwords and came on back here. after work today i did my first bit of community service hours. it went ok. i called 20 ppl. only had two that said they'd give a donation. we were suppose to pick out 20 ppl to call in whatever fashion we pleased, so i just went to the "G's" and picked up the top 20 pages. Halfway through calling, I notice the next page says vince gill. ...i think, 'nah..surely not.' it shows the wife's name as amy...and iirc he's married to amy grant. ... but the phone number wasn't listed on the page. how the fuck am i suppose to call if there's no number. oh, and he'd only given $250, but it seems they'd given most every year for the past 3 years or so.
i feel like i've got too much going on and i wish it'd just calm the fuck down. ..but i know i'm not near as stressed as poor julie.
