More Car Updates

Okay, The Mercedes is all taken care of for the next year. I drove it to get MOT-ed this morning, and picked it up this afternoon. It passed the MOT without needing anymore done, though they did say the tires are going bad and the brakes are a little corroded , but they both passed. May~be before we sell it, we could get that stuff taken care of so we can sell it for a little more.

After I picked it up in the afternoon, I walked downtown to go pay the car tax at the post office.I got the new disc while I was there and now both cars are taxed though next year!

The truck still needs to be MOT-ed by the end of the month though.

I need to keep on practicing driving though, maybe I should drive to and from work tomorrow.

Audio Tips to Help You Quit Sucking at Life.

These tips will be useful for everyone:

-Just because you can turn up the bass on your stereo loud enough to drown out all other frequencies doesn't mean you should.
-If you don't know how to use EQ, just leave it flat. It sounds better than the ass you are probably going to dial up.
-If being in the same room as your stereo causes my ears to ring, use your brain for once and turn it down.

These tips will be useful for professional types:

-In the studio, don't record a brick off sound. Making everything as loud as possible sounds like pure ass.
-For the man behind the sound board at a concert, most people would like to be able to hear each instrument. Please help make this a possibility.
-Don't deafen me if I am at your show. Please!
-If you are DJ-ing someplace I am at, please turn your shitty music down low enough to at least allow me to have a conversation.

All of these "tips" are related to recent experiences I've had with people trying to piss me off by not knowing how to play music correctly. Well, the live music complaints are kind of old but so few engineers know what they are doing in live settings its not even funny.

Car Updates

I can't get an appointment for the Mercedes to be MOT-ed until Tuesday, so the tax disc is going to run out. After doing a little research, I've found out that isn't too much of a problem. The British version of the DMV gives you a 2 week grace period to get the car taxed. Of course the only place you are allowed to drive the car to during those 2 weeks is to the garage and back.
Anyway, in related news I have been practicing driving the Mercedes. Its a lot easier to drive a manual transmission than I remember it being.

On Tuesday, I drove a loop around Saltergate Dr.

On Wednesday, I drove a loop around Jennyfield. I headed down to the round about at the end of Saltergate, drove all the way down to Ripon Road, turned left at the stoplight, turned left at the roundabout on to the A59, and the went back home taking Crowberry Drive.

Today I drove to and from work.

Tomorrow I will probably drive to work and then leave the car on base until time to take it to get MOT-ed on Tuesday.
