Yesterday the plan was the Mt. Washington auto road. The route was pretty straightforward so I didn't write anything down. 17 W to 2 west and then eventually 16 S, but I was so into the tire balancing thing and felt like I was nailing it with very few iterations and all four tires involved, plus the playin' around with other lunatic drivers that I overshot route 2 and was pretty much into Rangeley.

I was debating whether or not to backtrack and correct my course but ultimately decided to call it a day and resume tomorrow.

Need to get caught up on the mundane shit, a bit, and try again today. The auto road closes at 8:00 PM which is about eight hours from now. Might have some decent dashcam footage worth posting when it's all done.

I have a good case on the above and could appeal it in superior court for 175.00, but since it's only 150 days plus a required DEEP course I may as well not bother.

That faggot who presided over the DMV hearing sided with the two cops who were also present on the call, even after I pointed out several discrepancies in their evaluation.

Anyway, I've been taking it easy for a few days and instead of creating, I'm just relocating new stuff elsewhere and listening to music as far as the internet side of things.

Still have more work to do on the car, and maybe some mods, and when it's all said and done there will be no fear of flying so long as I don't leave the ground.

One bolt broke, so they're probably all gonna break. I'm either going to do it myself, or take it to my mechanic and leave it for a couple days. Decisions, decisions.

Also got a replacement high 'E' for the acoustic today, so there's another small project, plus I restrung the electric while waiting for that. Maybe try to do something a bit more structured this time and upload a couple instrumentals. I got evil in mind for the electric. It's good for the dark stuff and of course the aesthetically pleasing for the acoustic, and yeah I know, everybody and their brother plays guitar but what the fuck.

- exploring the aethers of existence - iterations of consciousness infinite and eternal, as well as unknown, but always re-acquired, just like now.

The project went as you would expect most projects to go. No petrified bolts, no hacksawing, and no tight awkward spaces to have to work in. Just loosening of a strap that secures the battery in place (as if it needs it), removal of a vent hose, and loosening of terminals, with the procedure reversed for installing the new battery.

The first thing I noticed was the trunk light came on, a good sign. I was a little worried before starting because it had set in extremely cold temps for so long - maybe a couple weeks or more, with temps ranging from freezing to below zero, but single digits much of the time. It did start right up pretty good though and I'm just killing a few minutes while I let it run for a while.

DEEP course is scheduled for Feb 4th. Twenty hours divided by three days, so should be legal to drive again by mid February. It's what happens when you're not careful, so we should try to be a bit more cautious from now on while having our fun or whatever you want to call it - it's engaging; it can be fun. Somebody knows what I'm talking about.

Edit : video began to spike the FAG-O-METER, so replaced it.

It woulda been a walk in the park comparatively speaking. The last time I walked similar distance I was carrying a 50 lb battery like a bushel of apples.

It's a lot more difficult to get a taxi these days, and Ubers are sort of new around here and couldn't get one of those either. I am glad I wrapped it up good though because I did end up setting it down a few times on the way back.
