Ha-ha. Thanks. That was my first actual sketch I've done in a few years. Sure, I doodle now and again, but this is the first one I've drawn in a few years that I actually took time on. It's for my grandma for her 80th birthday. She loves my art. :)

Well, after explaining a problem that my car is having to a friend and having him diagnose it (he's a certified Honda mechanic), I have a little bit of bad news. It's not a problem big enough to where I'm selling my car or anything, but it is a problem -- my valve guide seals are going bad, so now my car is burning just a little bit of oil. Sometimes it burns it, sometimes it doesn't. So, fairly soon here before it gets too cold, I'll be switching from 5W-30 to 10W-30 and Seafoaming it again. I may possibly also add some Lucas Oil Stabilizer, too, but I'm unsure on that. Does anybody have any opinions on it?
Also, said buddy will be helping me with a valve adjustment soon. He's only going to charge me $40 to do it.
But, since my car needs a little bit of maintenance and I have bills stacking up, I probably won't be doing to much to the 'Teg right now until I get some bills paid off. My drumset could also use a little bit of attention, so I may work on it and post updates on it as well.

Really bad day today. I hit a deer on the way to school. Luckily, the damage wasn't too bad; it completely demolished the windshield and busted the passenger's side front mirror, but other than minor dents and dings, that was it. Here are some pictures.




My friend came over to inspect the damage and then took me to the junk yard to try and find a mirror. That's his Mazda 6.







I'm getting a new windshield and new windshield wipers done tomorrow. If I can't find an OEM replacement mirror, I'm going to try and find some Spoon replicas instead.

Damn dude. Luckily it was only the passenger side and thats the only damage. I wouldn't even worry about the little dent on the fender. You could always get the rep. Spoon mirrors off ebay. They just won't be powered.

I use lucas oil stabalizer. Its really sticky and helps oil from not blowing through my rings.

They have powered Spoon reps on eBay that I'm looking at, but they claim that they won't fit the sedans. I dunno for sure, though. I may look more into it.

I may have to try it and see how it works.
