Overzealous Production lines suck...
So who decided that tightening every bolt and every filter on a Tundra as hard as they could is a good idea?
Today I go to change the oil on our truck. I was so excited about the easily assessable oil filter and drain plug, that is of course until I try to loosen and remove these items. OH DANG IS SOMEONE A JERK AT TOYOTA! I tried for a good 30 minutes from 1000 different angles to get off the filter. Then I went to Wallyworld to get a new filter wrench (broke one), still no luck. By this time the filter was mangled. I finally stabbed it with a long screwdriver, which worked like a champ, but if that didn't work I would really be up a creek. Then came the drain plug. I had to hammer my socket wrench (thanks craftsman) for 10 minutes to get the sucker loose. It was killin me!
All eventually went fine. Got the new filter on, and oil in. I am going to switch to synthetic after this oil change, I figure I save the money changing myself so I can afford to spend a bit extra on the oil.
Anyways, I am sure that this was excessively boring for ya'll, but it was 2 hours of heartache for me.... so be compassionate :)
Computer is on the way....
So I ordered the Computer! It is a really cool machine, at a great price! Dell has some great deals! P4 3.0 GHZ 800 FSB, 512 Mb, 17 flatpanel, etc.....all for a low price! I am excited. It does have some flaws, need a bigger drive, DVD CD writer, videocard...but all things that can come later (and on sale). I am excited! It will be fun to play with!

Casa de la Knouse
So we are getting a house....Manor Texas. We are really excited about it. It is very close to being completed, which makes it hard to wait till closing (Feb 15th hopefully). We will have a lot more room, a yard (yeah for Frankie), and that great "I'm home" feeling. Manor is closer to CUA than we are now, and a growing area that we are excited about. We are looking forward to spending some time there, with it's wild nightclub scene, and many tourist attractions!
Oh, and make sure to check out the new story on the wifesite.
