S2k and Evo work

Put a new radiator in the S today. It is aftermarket and cheaper than the stock replacement but way more efficient.

I also installed new throttle body seals in the Evo. It wasn't as easy as it sounds but I got it done. Went to the Henkel's after for a boost leak test and all was good, finally. My Virtual Dyno numbers after 5 pulls were disappointing but the car felt great and didn't throw any false knock!

Sickness

With this crazy cold/sickness thing floating around and at least 3 people in the office with it I was bound to get it. And I did. Started Tuesday with a sore throat but starting hitting hard on Friday. I got home Friday at 2:45pm and didn't leave until Monday morning at 8am. I stayed in bed all weekend. It sucked, I had a TON of stuff to do and had to put it off. Got to catch up on my movies though.

Let's see, I watched:
Black Swan
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
The Tourist
I, Robot
Death Race 2
The American
There are a few others I can't think of.

Valatine's

So Mary was off today and I decided to work a half day so we could hang out. I left work at 1230 and headed to the florist. I picked up flowers for my mom and drive over to the folks to give them to her. She loved them! I headed back towards the house swinging by the florist to pick up Mary's tulips.

Mary arrived home soon after I did and she loved her flowers. We decided to head downtown earlier for a quick bit to eat, some drinks and to see Ben. Since he recently broke up with his girl we figured it'd be nice to hang out with him for a little while. We were seeing a movie but had about a hour and a half to hang out with him at Soccer Taco.

So we tabbed out and headed over to the movie. We were seeing Just Go With It. Can't really go wrong with Adam Sandler. It was a good funny movie. The story was a little uncomfortable but you get use to it after a while. Mary enjoyed it as well.

So after the movie we headed to our usually spot. Sullivan's in Rocky Hill. We have eaten there every V-Day since we met. They have a great filet, which we both got. It was a great dinner and great day.

Titans going in a new direction...finally!

Welp, after a mediocre career as the Titans head coach, Jeff Fisher and the Titans have parted ways. He was 142-120 in the regular season, going 5-6 in the postseason and won the 1999 AFC Championship only to lose in the Superbowl by 1 yard. Don't let those numbers be deceiving, out of his 17 seasons coaching he only had 6 winning seasons with 5 .500 seasons. It was definitely time for a change and I'm extremely happy and optimistic about the Titans future.

Out with the old and in with the... promoting current staff. Mike Munchak former Titans offensive line coach is now our head coach. He is a former guard who played for the Houston Oilers. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2001. He also played college football for Penn State University. He was a first round pick in the 1982 draft at the 8th overall. He also 9 time pro bowler. Seems he knows his football. Hopefully this brightens our future and wasn't just a quick fix on Bud Adam's side.

I'm not expected a playoff season next year but of course my expectations are high but I'm a homer. I just hope we don't go 2-15 or something horrible. Time will tell and I hope he can get the job done.

Evos new shoes

Michael and I rolled my fenders and got my wheels on. Got a little ribbing but an alignment should fix that. I'm in love with my car even more now! Haha

***UPDATED PICS 2.9.11***

Had some fun editing these guys.

Icebears!


The screw fall out of the boards right in front of us. You can see it laying there on the ice.

Got on the ice seats again! Took Clint and Mary. Even had 2 extra tickets and no one else could make it. Was $2 night and the game was great. Came down to a shootout and the Bears won it 2-0!

Wheels are in!

Had a super busy night but finally got home to my Evo's new shoes! They are beautiful. Yes, they are Rotas! Some think they are lame, knockoffs. I see them as a badass as pair of shoes. I just don't understand how or why one can justify spending up to $4,000 on wheels, and I'm talking JUST WHEELS, unless you are a race driver and need every single inch and ounce. These were less than half that with tires! I feel they are one of the best looking wheels for the Evo around. I need to roll and pull the fenders to get them to fit so right now they are just sitting lonely in the house.

Soon my pretties, soon...

Canon 50D!

Hooked up! Travis and I got a deal going!

Evo hit 50k miles

Dad actually hit it hence why I took the pic 100 miles after. He drove it when we went to Raleigh since I borrowed the Flex.

Engine only has 2800 miles on it as of this moment.
