sometimes, it's the little things...

but many little things can add up to a big thing, yes?

i'm getting sick of looking at the car under the cover in my driveway and recently decided to do something about it. after looking at my to-do list, i started w/the easy stuff that could be done atomically at the girlfriend's. basically getting little tasks done to kickstart the motivational process.

like making my own battery leads. (i got to use my propane torch for this. that's always a good time)

and cleaning out my intake manifold. (this was NASTY)

somtimes side pursuits pop up in the middle of this, like striving for better organization of photos, and album creation. of course, this means deleting old albums and creating them anew, messing up every freaking forum post i've made.

btw, the "old porsche owner" communities are insane. as in selflessly helpful and mostly right in their advice. searching for things like "porsche 944 vacuum help" shows how much of a pain in the ass this car can be, but how it's just paying dues. if it wasn't for these resources, i'd be broke from paying for repairs, homeless and living out of the 944. which would be broken down somewhere, of course.

it's the whole tinkerer mentality. it's just a different medium than, say, linux. or scrapbooking.

ok, neither of those two things are like scrapbooking. but blogging sure is.
