4-27-09 Week In Review

We finally got Jodi's oil changed...I couldn't get the right tool but one of the ones that was close in size got jammed on the filter thingy and I was able to get if off. Not sure what the dealership used to put it on with during the free oil change but I think it took about 140 ft-lb to get it off! The oil filler cap probably took 50 ft-lb...I guess the didn't want it leaking out!

I was able to order parts for our garage door opener...what a saga...you'll have to keep reading to see if the problem got resolved.

Jodi and I went out to eat for my Birthday. Like most resturants here, it was ok but nothing to write home about. I attended by frist 'guys night' and the new local. They were in to playing poker. I gave it a shot. It would have been more fun had I had even the slightest idea about what I was doing (or had won).

Over the weekend we headed down to the QC again. I had my first Park Lane rehersal in months...and it was good! It took a few songs but I remembered what it was like to be a drummer. I think everyone felt really good. We sounded great although a few songs could have been a bit tighter. I'm really looking forward to the touring we'll be doing this summer.

Saturday I also picked up a trailer for hauling the drums around. It's a nice little 5x8. It's much more convienent than trying to rent or relying on others!
