twas a good time. got to play a little

 

My entire weekend was a series of rediculous awesomes and horrible lows.

Lets see, starting thursday morning, slept all day, woke up at 4, went to go deal with kendra's dog dying, cheered her up, went out to celebrate puppies life. awesome bar night, kereoky, singin and dancin. took her home, woke up friday morning I was supposed to hit the road at like 8am. She had another break down, can't really kick a crying girl out of my bed (Hey I'm not totally heartless)

Finally hit road at 1130am on friday, make it to middle of nowhere 110km's outside of edmonton, my serpentine belt blows at 190, takes out one of my coolant lines. Coolant flashed to gas and filled my cabin through the cabin air intake. pulled over and died choking on the side of the road from coolant inhilation for awhile. replaced belt with spare, dismantled windshield washer hosing and used it for coolant system and zip tied hoses in place. Half coolants missing so I poured the litre of water I had into it.

I could only drive 7km's then stopped to cool down for 10 min. drove the 40km's between heat soaks till i found a gas station, filled rest of coolant. drove to edmonton, made it to concert right before Headliners "Trivium" and "In Flames" took stage, amazing concert. went to bars after concert friday night. All 4 bands were there. epic after party.

Wake up saterday, drive to napa to actually fix coolant system. I get a guy who's two days from his last day and doesn't give a f*ck so he gives me about 60$ worth of parts for free. fix coolant lines in parking lot, used a thicker gauge hosing and hose clamps to ensure it never breaks off again. Lunch with bro and nephews, drive to red deer, buy another spare belt. make it 5km out of red deer, belt blows again.

Note: I should mention that due to my S/c it requires a custom sized belt which needs to be ordered from cali. The closest commercial size is 3/4" short. Which is why my new belt blew again because the tension is waaay to tight, but it'll work in a pinch.

Fixed belt on side of highway, drive to Calgary, go on awesome date with new girl Alina (cute blonde), supper, another concert, back to her place, movie and fun times. Wake up sunday, drive her to work, head to parts store in calgary. Replaced idler pulley with a smaller size to ease belt tension to get me the 950km's home. drive half way to edmonton, MAF sensor needle busts off from wind pressure, replace that, go for lunch with good buddies, then drive home in a fucking blizzard so 4 hour drive took 7.

Then beers and wings with local friends here. That was my crazy ass weekend.
