I just finished season 5 over the weekend. Seasons 4 and 5 didn't draw me in like the first three, but it's still good. I'll catch up on season 6 when amazon adds it to prime, or when I get around to finding it on XBMC.

 

How does anything get better then breaking bad?

 

I'm excited for the new mad max. The first two movies are probably my all time favorite movies. The 3rd not so much. I'm also surprised by how many people haven't seen them.

 

jeep decided to break down last week. in an attempt to fix it, i got the cam sensor replaced, started the jeep, go it up on my ramps, and proceeded to change the crank sensor. its above the starter on the passenger side. needed to pull the starter to get to it. well, apparently, dodge and their wicked ways with engineering, the machined hole the sensor goes in rusted on the outer edge.

crank sensor snapped off in the block...

she went for a ride to the shop on a flatbed today.

 

The worse part about the original Mad Max is that the idiots in Hollywood had Mel Gibson's voice dubbed with an American voice actor because they didn't think US audiences would be able to understand his accent. Aussies are a lot easier to understand than a Cockney, Welsh, Irish, or even a heavy Scottish accent.

AFIK, there are no copies of the move that exist with Gibson's voice.

Anyway, Tom Hardy is going to make an excellent Mad Max.

 

13.1 mpg. Hand calc. Mic of highway and town.

Very happy.

Overhead console said 13.3. So just a lil on the high side. And it averages the last 30 miles or something.

I'm very happy for that mpg out of a 13 year old, 216k used and abused 360

 

Got the jeep back today.. took them longer to get the old sensor out than I thought. 5 hours total. 76/hr so 380 bucks is what the bill came to...

Im not too happy about it, but I was in over my head as far as tools and equipment go...

Shop owner is my neighbor and former boss so he helping me out and let me take the jeep today, and pay him friday!

 

Jeez, labor here is half that.

 

~$80/hr seems to be the number down here.

 

send those shops up here!

where i took the jeep has the cheapest rate in the city that the shop is in. cheapest labor rate ive seen is 55/hr up here, but theyre all going up because cars are becoming harder and harder to work on...
