Hey peeps, how is everyone doing? I’m doing pretty good. Very tired but good none the less. I wish I could be more there but since I started working and going to school my time has pretty much been swallowed. I started at Canadian Tire in end of October or mid October and been working [...]
Hey everybody, hope all is well. Just want to say thanks for the b-day wishes from people. Much appreciated. I haven’t really had too much time to take to even thank people. I started working at Canadian Tire last monday. I do roughly 30 hours right now plush my school so it’s pretty tiring. I [...]
It only took 6 days. =)
I love this one. Notice the Leon character from Left 4 Dead at the beginning. Lol. Party Rock
Hi everyone! We’re back from Orlando safe and sound… and tanned, my arms almost match colours now! We arrived home around 10:30pm last night after a lengthy drive from New York City, which was preceeded by a flight from Orlando to La Guardia airport. We had a great time and managed to see and do [...]

Today I bring you this video that we at mechanic school found in our extensive lunch time research. Enjoy! Hmmmm, not sure why wordpress is being fussy with this in embedding but here is direct link
Hey everyone, what is going on? Hope everything is going well with everyone. Things are doing ok over here. Wish I could say there was tons of news to go around but seems like just the daily grind. So for what is new, for one I just built a gazebo / tent / sun block [...]
My mum was diagnosed with a brain tumor yesterday. They removed it this morning in an operation that went very well, but it’s still strenuous, and this isn’t easy for anyone involved. We need to summon up whatever strength we can to help her fight this and to recover. As the song says: mother don’t [...]
Hey boys, how are you all doing? It has been quite awhile and hope things are going well for everyone. Things have been busy over here. Had a lull due to holidays for school. I was finding it a tad long because you just want to jump into things and get it done. The program [...]
Want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. My New Year’s resolution is to visit more often that coincides with Curt visiting, that way we can all get together and hang out. I miss those days. I actually hope to make it down for the Fan Convention. Carl was telling me about it [...]
Why hello there! Hope everyone has been going good. Things have been pretty good here as well. Been focusing on school of course. We are at a pretty important module which is engines. It’s been going very well so far. We did a complete tear down, cleaned everything up and measured the fuck out of [...]
Well it’s been awhile since I last talked about my car so here goes. I have not touched it too too much this past while. When arranging the garage, removing the stairs and school studying I was a bit discouraged from getting into it. Was a bit hard to get that motivation kick started. But [...]
Greetings!! How is everyone doing? Been seeing a lot of activity for Dresdan Files going on which is awesome. I think Salem as a setting has a lot of potential especially with all the locations. It’s like a wicked hub for activity. Things on my side have been pretty busy with school. I passed my [...]
Well tomorrow is my shop exam. It’s much more varied compared to welding. We have a bunch of tools to know how to use at the drop of a dime as well as various tasks to perform. It’s been very interesting though. We have mainly been machining. So cutting blocks of metal with a hacksaw, [...]
So I passed welding. The exam itself was not difficult in scope however I landed up with a torch tip that was not very good so at two points it sputtered and blew a hole in the metal. I was able to patch it up however I know I could have done way better with [...]
Having good reflexes is not always the greatest thing to have. I had the lovely accident this past friday of catching a copper filler rod which I was using for welding. Normally just the tip is the hottest and what one should worry about. However just as luck would have it I had managed to [...]
Yesterday was back to shop work. It was very cool as we learned how to do flaring for brake lines. It was actually quite simple to do. You basically have three types, straight which is like a cone, double which is like the cone but edge are folded in on each other to make a [...]
So tonight was a bit odd. I left earlier in the afternoon as I needed a new passenger headlight as mine burnt out. Once done I headed to school as I usually do. Once I arrived at the lights near my school, I heard my name. Was totally wtf? So I looked and saw my [...]
Well the last two days have been welding. Getting practice done before our exam next week. We got our more appropriate metal yesterday so we started using it. I was so used to the thinner metal that I was having a tough time with the thicker metal. Kind of ironic. I was sufficiently discouraged by [...]
So friday was a busy evening at school. Basically I got a chance to check a bunch of things off my catch up list. Started out with measuring bolts. You would think that it would be easy but even though a bolt may be the same length it may have a different thread pattern. We [...]
Last night was pretty awesome. Did more continuation of our shop work class which part of it was theory. That was a bit on the boring side. But we did get to pull a steering wheel from a 2000 chev cavalier. While in itself not a fantastic car we also had to disable the air [...]
Measuring…measuring…measuring…You would think that measuring in itself would be simple. In mechanics though we have to use specialized measuring tools such as a precision caliper, depth rods and micrometers. I don’t think it would be so bad if we just had one system to learn however we need to do both metric and imperial systems. [...]
Well hello there! Hope all are doing well. I’m doing pretty good. For those who may not have gotten the word I spent a good part of last week in the hospital. I got me a lovely infection from a cold that my lungs couldn’t keep up. It was a difficult time as I was [...]
