Ch-ch-ch-changes

So, tonight I went over to Wallyworld to basically wander around and kill some time, and scope out the hotties.

Your humble PartsGuy is a collector of diecast cars, in all scales. I'm also VERY choosy about them. If the proportions are horribly off, (Johnny Lightning, call your office) Then they ain't going in my collection. Period.

For some bizarre reason, some people are putting 28" tire on their cars, and calling them Donks, or something like that. Looks utterly retarded. Anyways, the diecast manufacturers are all falling over themselves to put out lil Donks.

As I've stated, if the proportions are wrong, no go. These are all wrong. What REALLY irks me is that one manufacturer makes some cars i'd like to see with scale wheels. Do they? nope, but they make ridiculous Donks. Assholes.

Hot Wheels does the same thing with a series of cars ridiculously proportioned. Usually, it's a model I wouldn't mind having if the dimensions were correct. Does that happen? Not often.

Weekend thoughts.

Your humble PartsGuy had to make an excursion to the local Wally World for some supplies today. I realized why I usually go at night, about 9 pm.

TOO MANY DAMNED MORONS DURING THE DAY!!!!

My GOD, is it necessary to block an ENTIRE freaking aisle with your fat asses AND your freaking shopping cart full of Doritos and Twinkies and freaking Diet Coke??? Maybe I should bring a cattle prod next time I have to go there during daylight hours!!

**ZZZZAP!!!** "MOVE IT, SHAMU!! THE WORLD DOES NOT, REPEAT, NOT, REVOLVE AROUND YOU AND YOUR FAT, STUPID, ADD SUFFERING ASSHOLE KIDS!! I NEED PAPER PLATES!!! MOVE YOUR ASS!!!!"

Or, maybe I should just not ever go there on a Sunday afternoon again.


So, someone came up to me this week and asked if I'd like to sell my jetski. I've decided yes, because I have nowhere near enough time to ride it, and I want to get a nice truck. We'll see if the guy goes for the price I want.


Your humble PartsGuy has been thinking lately.

Mostly about scary stuff like putting down roots, settling down into a long term type relationship, stuff like that.

It's turning out to be not so scary after all, though it'd be quite an adjustment for someone who's spent most of his adult life alone.

The way I'm looking at it, all I want is one room to myself, where I can scratch, watch the 3 stooges, work on my hobbies, and surf for whatever.

I've discovered things are not always as they seem, and that being decent to people sometimes pays you back in a good way, and in unexpected ways. This I will write more about as it unfolds. If things turn out as I'm hoping, then your PartsGuy's life will become very interesting, indeed.

Camping rules.

Went camping this weekend, was a total blast. Nothing better than sleeping under the stars and eating stuff cooked over an open fire. Yummy.

I have discovered that the PartsMobile is fairly decent for carrying gear, but it's stuffed to the gunwales with stuff. I'm dreading unpacking it tomorrow.

Therefore, I'm going to go ahead and get a nice pickup. I figure if I don't use it as a daily driver, the gas won't kill me. Also, I can pull my jetski along if I go to a site with a lake that allows their use.

I had the most bizarre dream while camping. Imagine Cookie Monster laying on the floor, hollering " TAKE ME NOW, RICHARD!!! "

Yeah. I scare myself sometimes. This would be one of them. I'd LOVE to see an interpretation of THAT dream. I fell off my air mattress laughing.

I think I may need therapy, or something.

Or I may just need a girlfriend.
