Cool deal.I knew there had to be a way to rekey Kwikset smartkeys without buying a damned tool to do it. I just found out how. Tomorrow, when I go to work, I can rekey the locks we have that have somehow, mysteriously, lost their keys. I got 5 or 6 to do.

I need 25 more days of food consisting of Pork products. Got to finish out this month which is muslim appreciation month. I am going to appreciate them by eating as much pork as I possibly can.thank you. You're religion allows for more pork to be consumed by people like me.

Well, Jay Saleh told me a week or two ago that I need new tires. I looked at my front passenger side tire today and sure enough, I need to replace it. Driver side is o.k., but bald.I wonder if 235/50/18 are going to be darn near impossible to find at a used tire shop. Cheapest I can find then, new is $89 each, which equals $233.26 out the door. ugh!#vanlife

All this time since my last reinstall of windows and I forgot to install office.Went to use an Excel spreadsheet and failed.

I really do not want to take the case off it, but guess I'm going to have to. Anybody got any idea what kind/size of fan is in a Db Drive a4 2400.1?I can hear it when I turn the system on. It's not affecting anything, but, sounds horrible when no music is playing.

Oh well, time to go back to work, I guess. All in all, even though I get pushed a lot, I am actually starting to enjoy this job. I could use a part time job (weekends) though, just to supplement things a little bit.anyways, got a lot to do when I get off work. Supposed to have a Buick install coming. Just a basic 4 speaker and headunit upgrade.

Monday, why you come so soon? I feel like I missed 2 days and have had very little sleep.Oh well, welcome to a new week. Hope everybody has a great one.

Installed status LED for alarm. Programmed for silent arm and disarm. Installed new door pin switch (so far so good). Didn't install glove box. Had an idea pop into my head now looking for my pack of Blue LEDs.I also got, for free, 2 factory tweeters from a newer model Astro. Not sure what I'm gonna do with them, but they are the perfect size to put in a model kit, if I could find one of a 95 astro.

Well hell, I have procrastinated enough. I guess I'll go out an install the door pin and under seat glove box now.

Damn rain. Only happens when you have things to do outside. I wanted to give the van a wash, clean it out a little, check the tires (I need new ones), and put on my window vents, but nooooo.. I can't now cause it's raining. Good thing I didn't have the van stripped down and everything out in the driveway (even though it could all use a good wash)

Been trying to get off my lazy ass, get outside to clean van out, and do some other things. I just feel like I don't have it in me today to do anything but sleep.Got to find one of my distro blocks. Also got to find a door pin for the slider, but, I'm not 100% sure it's the pin. Even if I don't mess with the door, I still have to open and shut it to get the alarm to set properly. Never ran into that problem before.
-
Went to set the alarm on the van today and it returned 4 beeps. Seems I have a door pin that isn't being pushed all the way, or is going bad. To be able to set the alarm, fully, I have to open and close the sliding door. What a pain in the ass. Hopefully I still have a couple pins around here to fix the problem.Had some kids at work messing around by my van today. I decided to start it up while I was in an apartment. They couldn't see me but I could see them. They hauled ass when it started...

O.k. enough play. I have to go back to work. My hours might be changing back to the other times in a few days. they got somebody new working the office. This will be quite good as I won't have to wake up as early. Yay!!

Lord, I come to you now for my family. I come to you to ask that you provide them strength and comfort in this time of deep need. Their hurt and grief run so deep. I feel so much pain for them, but I can only imagine how hard this time must be for them. I pray that you help them maintain their faith in you during this difficult time.I know you can be our greatest shoulder, but I also ask that you remain their biggest provider. It is a time when daily life can be so burdensome. Please provid...

I just found out that my Aunt Lyla passed away this afternoon. I love you Aunt Lyla and will miss you.

Well, another night with Charlie sleeping next to me. A little bit of Amoxicillin seemed to cut the coughing real quick.I sure wish they would figure out what the hell is wrong and fix it, instead of hum hauling around like they are doing. At least that's what I feel they are doing. I am getting tired of seeing my son coughing so bad he start crying. I DO NOT LIKE seeing my son cry.
-
Just got Charlie to bed for the night. Yea, it's early, but he has to get up early tomorrow.Went pretty much the whole day without him coughing or running a fever. He is coughing a little right now, but not bad. Hope it doesn't end up like last night.Dust allergy.. I started vacuuming the living room this evening and he started having some problems. He said his throat was hurting. We opened the door and let the house air out. I've got to find out why the vacuum blow dust every where when i...

Been busy today. Got living room almost to where I like it. Dishes are almost done, completely. All the dirty clothes are piled and ready for washing.Found a little tip. 20 mule team borax in a sink of hot water and dawn dish soap cuts scrubbing down to almost nil. The dishes that were greasy came clean easier. The glasswares don't have hard water stains. Hell they are nice and shiny.Just how many uses it there for this stuff?Roach controlOdor eliminatorlaundry soap boosterdish soap...

It's a little cool outside today, and raining like hell, but I opened the door to try letting some fresh air in.Charlie doesn't like being cooped up all day, bored. Wish I could take him somewhere to have fun but I haven't put the alternator in the van yet and even though I'm sure the problem is fixed, I wouldn't wont to test drive it in this weather with him. Be my luck it'd break down and we'd be out in this crap. Not good when he is sick.
