Car Restoration: Part 1

So I thought it would be a good idea to track all that is going into the restoration of Betty and I decided to take some pics (with the help of kate of course) tonight.

The problem with a car that is 21 years old is that everything inside it decides to become brittle with age. That means when removing dash pieces (or anything for that matter), you have to be reallllly careful to not break things because you just can't go to the dealer and replace them anymore.

After taking apart the dash today to find the shorted out wire, we noticed that the ac/heater controls were loose due to a missing security clip lost by the previous owner. The plastic hinge was also showing a hairline crack which would only be bad news in the future (as the used part goes for upwards of a hundred bucks, yikes!).

Plastic welding 101:

(pic of hairline)


Heat up soldring iron to highest level of heat and slowly melt the crack together again while holding breath. Why hold yer breath? Plastic fumes produce cyanide. Cyanide is lethal when inhaled. Bad!



Now some gorilla glue™ for good measure


Voila! Wait to dry, add security clip fashioned from old speaker clips and yer done!

And now, an unnecessary pic of Kate's sweet, sweet booty. w00t!

Great Moments in JKREW stupidity

I am only writing this so I can laugh at myself or provide decent ammo for other people to laugh at me at a later date.

Without further adieu, I present to the world: Great Moments in JKREW Stupidity

So I got a new car. Obviously, being a law abiding citizen (for the most part), I insure and register all of my vehicles, animals and firearms. Now as you all know, I work in DC and find it VERY hard to take off work due to my massive workload so Kate cheerfully volunteered to get our new car registered.

Now this is where it gets stupid. Kate and I switched cars.

Ok, I'll start that over so you all get it quicker than I/we did. Kate and I switched cars to get it registered. I let her drive the car with 2% brake pads left and absolutely NO working interior light bulbs or dash lights allll the way to Lorton while I drove her car to the metro stop all of 2.5 miles away.

It took Kate telling me that she realised our fault on the way home.

Who the fuck needs an actual car to be at the DMV to register it?

All you need is the paperwork.

*sigh. Live the dream people. We'll be hosting the weekly Mensa meeting this Thursday.

Where's Jason?

Hey folks. I've decided to take a small break from the blog and int0rwebs for a bit as life and web have sort of melded together lately.

I will, instead, be focusing on the following (not in any particular order):
• spring
• kate
• me
• being a better designer

No worries though, I will be back soon. Pictures and random ramblings will probably make it to the blog, just not at the same frequency as you have been accustomed to.

Cheers!
- Jason

p.s. go outside!

They can put a man on the moon...

So I have this second mom. Well yeah, fuck that, that's what I call her so that's what she is. She was my real-deal kindergarten teacher who became best friends with my mom and from then on to this very day, she will always be Mrs. Stark. She basically was my second parent and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Anyhoo, she has this pesky problem with getting cancer all over her body since I can remember but each and every time, she kicks the shit out of it. About 2 years ago she was diagnosed with evil, evil cancer and when I heard, I bought one of those cheesy LiveSTRONG bracelets (before they were popular thankyouverymuch =p). I wore it every single day until one night it was ripped while wrestling with a red-haired and freckled irish gal named Molly. Now granted, we had both devoured a bottle of wine between the two of us but god damn if she didn't sew it back like a champ in 2-3 minutes at 3 in the morning.

It's been almost two years to the day and the stitching was finally going so I tried to fix it today. It took me almost an hour to do so, several puncture wounds to the thigh and thumb and one needle through the finger but it's back to all it's glory (see figure 14b).

(figure 14b)


Now the reason I write this story is that not only was I never meant to sew, something funny happened when it was ripped. The next morning I was told her t-cell count went horrible down causing her a trip to the hospital if memory serves. I also have been burning a candle for her for almost two years straight. Every single time I come home and it has burned out before I could light a new one, I received bad news within 24 hours.

The lesson...? Shit happens in mysterious ways folks. You may not believe it but I am firm believer that there is something up there looking out for us all.

And don't worry Mrs. S, the bracelet is 250% stronger now. Just like you.

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratory generated temperatures of greater than 2 billion degrees Kelvin, hotter than the interior of the sun. To do it, they fired up their Z Machine accelerator, seen here in operation, to produce incredibly hot plasmas.

Things that piss me off: Thursday edition

I'll just verbally let it all go here so bare with me folks...

*clears throat

• the new trend of commuters who think towing a rolling carry-on piece of luggage to work is a good idea. This trend is mainly used by women which is another plus because a woman's height combined with her dragging along a piece of luggage equals a general walking footprint area of about 6 square feet all around. This is such a great idea for me because when you are in a crowded fucking mass of people trying to exit a metro stop, the best thing in the world is to be behind a snail-paced bitch who thinks she owns the whole platform.

To combat this, I have taken it upon myself to start the following game:
- 1 point for kicking the rolling bag
- 2 points if she turns around to scowl
- 5 points (and this takes practice) is to kick it on the side wheel and actually tip it over so the woman drags it by accident.
- 20 points if the overturned bag trips someone else

• indian people. Not the scalping kind, the curry-smelling bastards who think it's ok to push, butt-in, and cut anyone they feel like off just to get off the bus or train quicker. Now I am no racist but I have noticed in the past few weeks that if I am ever bumped, pushed or triped, it is from a fucking indian. EACH AND EVERY FUCKING TIME. Maybe they are used to dense population in their home towns. Maybe they are ok with not bathing on a regular basis. Maybe they are just fucking rude bastards who need to get the fuck out of my way.

• beggers.

- There is a woman who stands in front of the local Starfucks on a daily basis and begs for food. She has nicer Pumas than I do. Case closed.

- There are two guys who stand RIGHT NEXT TO THE DOOR at McDonalds and ask for money as soon as you come out. Like, you have to walk around them to get in and out of the door and when you tell them no, they get pissy. GO GET A JOB YOU FUCK!? How's that for an idea. You are wearing Jay-Z wear. Obviously, begging is paying the rent.

That's it for today. God bless.

Boom Blip Boom Blip

Do you ever listen to a cd you haven't listened to in many many years and as soon as it starts it reminds you of certain feelings that you experienced while listening to said cd from back in the day?

I know, total stoner comment. My apologies.



Amazon link

God bless you Keoki. This reminds me of when I was still in high school (yes, I am old and yes, I bought this CD in 1994... mp3 huh?) and I had this piece of shit CRX that was pretty much the best thing in the world to me at the time. I drove the shit out of that thing for hours upon hours on end.

There was this road where I lived that was sort of the main drag spanning from DC to the boonies in farmland Maryland and for the last 30+ miles of it, it was a two-lane road leading to the boonies. I would skip school to drive this road at least once a week just to sort of clear my head when it was needed. 22 miles on the nose from my door step to the end of the road. I could drive it blindfolded. I don't think I ever went the speed limit and often tried to see if I could do the whole thing without touching the brakes.

I once made it the whole length in 16 minutes.
(Distance=rateXtime = a mean speed of 100+ MPH) (thanks for the math lesson erin =) And mom, you're the one who thought the SI model was a good idea. So in theory, I blame my speeding ticket history on you hahaha)

Then it was off to college where the CD would be played et nauseum under black light to all hours of the night. I dunno where I'm going with this but god damn does it feel good to listen to it again. The funny thing is, most dance/electronica/house music gets severely dated over time, sometimes having a shelf life of a few years as technology and samples progress but surprisngly, this CD still rocks the house.

Maybe that's why keoki was such a cocky bastard afterall?

FEMALE READERS OF JKREW BE WARNED!!!

news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060308/

The American Medical Association is warning girls not to go wild during spring break. All but confirming what goes on in those "Girls Gone Wild" videos, 83 percent of college women and graduates surveyed by the AMA said spring break involves heavier-than-usual drinking, and 74 percent said the break results in increased sexual activity.

Fucking brilliant



As I am a fanboy for borf of DC/VA fame and who got arrested last summer, this is a brilliant way to get the name out. Good for them.

What a brave new world

As most of you know me personally, you know that I often have a flair for the dramatic. Well I was watching GMA this morning while getting ready for work and they had a segment about human RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) implants into a couple.

Being permanently attached to a computer for the past several years, I have been following the news of a Amal Graafstra and his journey through the new technology. (Videos and pics not for the squeamish)

So, looking into this technology more, it is essentially a chip, implanted by syringe or incision, and then "read" by a reader interface. Boring sure, but when implemented into opening doors by the wave of a hand or starting your car simply by sitting in your car, the possibilities are limitless!

So, being that my roommate is an Army EMT and hospital nurse, I have a full kitchen of alcohol and just enough balls to do it, we shall see what the following weeks hold.

Cooking with JKREW: Episode 14

When a recipe calls for milk, it would behoove you not to replace said milk with butter when no milk is available in the fridge. Now I know what you are all thinking, "Why JKREW, surely butter could replace milk right? It's all dairy in the end right?"

No my friends, it will not. I will now try to rock back and forth for the next 2 hours trying to shit out a baby cow.

Thank you and good night.
