Did some of you just think 'what a Rush?'
Well, if you didn't, you're not Rush fans.
And I'm not taking about the pasty white bastard either.
Anyhow, something really cool and really trippy happened today, but I can't really go into details.
Not because I don't want to share, but because I want to keep some secrets from a few of you.
I know that doesn't make any sense, but this is my blog, so fuck you.
No, not really...I didn't mean that.
Or did I?
Hell, half the time, I don't even know anymore.

A change of venue...
Well, not exactly venue I guess, but I did change the header picture....and this is my venue, so to speak....
Anyhow.
Herman, do you remember our tiny zen garden? Well, the penny is leaning on that, and standing on one of the red bamboo placemats we have on our coffee table.
Lynn: Re: your comment....And you haven't because?....
On to other things.
My 'bu's under the weather. I'm sorry to say, she's in the final stages of an illness, and the prognosis is not good. Well, for the front axles, that is. I can't really complain, however; I was told this was a problem ages ago, and it's finally gotten to the point that she needs to see the doctor.
I limped her to work today, praying (and telling her what a good girl she was) all the way. I'm happy to report that we arrived safely. Sadly, it's going to be at least 2 days until J (the mechanic thats going to be doing the work) will be at work, thus, 2 days until said parts can be ordered.
What does this mean for me? Why, at least a few days of physical excercise i.e. walking to work. I don't mind walking. In fact, I kinda like it. Throw in an iPod? Yeah, I'm good to go. About the only thing that will really result from this is that I'll be up and moving about an hour earlier in the morning.
At least Pops had enough socked away to buy the parts, so all I have to come up with is labor....

A penny for your thoughts.....
I mean, pennies are change, right?
Ok, so I had to call it something.
I'm actually working on a list of 'change' titles, using common phrases.
A change of heart.
A change of venue.
A change in focus.
All of these and more will be yours for the asking in the coming days. Also, in an effort to change my habits with regards to blogging (again) I'm going to try to write something that is actually related to the title.
I know, right?
But, it's time for a change.

A change in the weather.....
As I type this, there's a driving rainstorm going on.
We've had pretty hellacious wind since sometime last night, and within the last hour and a half or so, it's brought a good amount of rain with it as well.
I had planned on doing a bit of a photo walk today, but now, not so much.
Instead, I'm going to take care of something I overlooked recently. You see, my hawt internet friend Kelwhy tagged me the other day, and even tho I usually make a practice of taking the tag, somehow, I forgot.
Sorry, Kel.
So, without further ado, I bring you:
7 Things You Always Wanted to Know, but Were Afraid to Ask
I have been tagged by Kelwhy to list 7 random/odd/quirky things about myself, I guess she didn't realize that to narrow it down to JUST 7 things would be awfully hard for me... but here I go...
I have to have something to read while I'm eating. I'm not sure why, but if I'm eating, 9 times out of 10 I'm reading something too.
I almost always mute commericals on tv. The annoying ones?...yeah, they get the button every time, but most of the others get it..
In somewhat Monkish fashion, I have a tendency to hit/smack signposts when I'm walking. Not sure why, really, I just do.
I can juggle..
I collect dirt. Perhaps I should explain that. Whenever I (or someone i know) go somewhere (the beach another country another state) I take, (or ask them to) a sample of the local sand/dirt. Here's a bottle that contains Mexico, California, and Greece:
I pick a lot of things up off the ground. Rocks, fasteners (screws bolts nails), anything I can't immediately identify, really. Most of said items end up coming home with me. In fact, I've been thinking about dedicating a post to it. Stay tuned.
My blood type is O-, which makes me a universal donor. Blood I donate can be used by people of any blood type. The downside of this is, I can only have 0-. Anything else will kill me.
Use this knowledge well, young Padiwan, for it will be of benefit to you in the future.....
Ok, on to the rules:
+ link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
+ share seven facts about yourself in the post - some random, some weird.
+ tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
+ let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or twitter.
Now, normally, I always pass tags along, but prompted by the topic of the month, I'm going to just throw it open. Any and all that read are invited to play. If you have a go, let me know.
Buenos con queso,
T.

I bought my car with change.....
Did I ever tell you that?
Well, in case I didn't, there you go.
I posted ages ago about getting my 'bu, and I posted pix back then, so if you want to read more about it....well, you're on your own.
But, I digress.
This takes a bit of set up, so bear with me. There's an AM/PM just up the road from my house, and I go there often. It's where I usually buy my beer, and I, in fact, walked up there last night to get beer. This story is also set back when Pops was still smoking.
Well, back in the day, they had some Triple Trouble keno machines in there, which, in case you don't know, is the game that Pops and I play. Well, with the exception that the machines in the store were quarter machines.
Now, I don't have to tell you, but you get a lot of quarters in your change.
....well...
When there's a slot machine there, it's just natural to drop a couple coins in. Hell, sometimes I'd even throw in the odd dollar bill or so. Not much money, really, and only like twice a week? Pops would do the same.
Now, I don't want to overstate it, so I won't say every time I went to the store, but it feels like it could have been every other time, one of us would hit a 4spot, which in a quarter machine, pays $24. At that point, we'd hit the cash out button and bring the quarters home.
We had a couple things we filled up....and all of a sudden, we had, I shit you not $1100.00 in quarters.
I know, right?
Well, the oppurtunity came up to buy the car, and we haggled the guy down to $900, and the rest is history.
Not that we paid in quarters, you understand. We did have the courtesy to cash them in first.
