Lift me up higher now!

Wow so much has happened since my last blog post. Wait, not really. But there definitely is enough to report on, so here I go.

Kelly's garage project? A large pain of sorts. No matter, we (my father, a friend of his named Bruce, and me) worked on that garage for about a day and a half. We were just trying to install an automatic garage opener. In order to do this though, we have to raise the studs. Why? Because they weren't set at the normal height to begin with. The garage was small to begin with, but to lower the studs, doesn't make any sense at all. So, we punched out the ceiling, and raised the studs which were holding the garage tracks. That only took WAY too long. Then we have to saw the bottom part of the garage door off so that it closes without getting stuck shut. Finally, it's time to mount the actually header unit and support bar. Wait, another problem. Where the header unit has to go, there isn't a horizontal stud, and there really isn't a good place to mount it either. So, we have to fabricate it. Header unit installed, and lift assembly installed on the door. But it's all crooked, the door not the header unit. So, we have to separate everything, fix the tracks, fix the door, reassemble the bottom of the garage door, sand down part of the garage floor where it meets the garage door, and reassemble everything back into place. After that though, the job went pretty smooth. What a ridiculous and unnecessarily difficult project.

In other news, I met and stopped seeing a girl. She was a lot of fun to talk to, but the romantic spark wasn't there. I've still got the other girl but she's a bit of a handful to manage. Yes, I did just say, I'm having a hard time managing a woman. But what I tried to imply, was that getting the relationship to work, requires a lot of work.

Today I got up early(ish) and went to the college and took the math placement test. I scored well enough to get into Calc I and I plan on taking that class in the fall, despite being on the waiting list currently, and school starting in about one week. As for my fall schedule, it's going to be about 15 credits, with me taking a computer science course, two math (trig and calc), a computer information systems course and if I'm lucky, I'll get into this digital photography course.

Today's song of the day: Taking Back Sunday - Falling for you.
