SecureCam1

I set up a security system at home with a dedicated computer and a few webcams. All of the cameras detect motion and then forward them to a special gmail account. This was me leaving for the store today. I haven't registered the software yet.. opps!

This is me returning from the store after a little snow. 

Punx

Tonight I was running sound at a local show with four bands. I got the xB washed and ready to go after work. I found a nice parking spot on the side of the firehall so that I had plenty of room and no one would bump me. Well wouldn't you know that after the show I walked outside and kids wrote on my now dirty windows and one punk was leaning/rocking my car. I hit the 'panic' button on the remote and those punx really jumped. They quickly moved away from my car and I felt an evil grin appear on my face.

Winter Wiper

I was having trouble with the stock wipers and all the snow/ice we have been getting. So I went out and bought winter wipers. I bought two but only put the one on. Now I can easily compare the stock vs. winter. As of right now I would say that the winter wiper is slightly ahead.

5000 Mile Oil Change

Yesterday I drove to Walmart to get my oil changed because I have reached the 5000 mile mark. I am a little shocked I put 5000 miles on in 4 months. When I got to Walmart there was 12 cars in front of me for the oil change and the estimate for the wait was over 2 hours. I wasn't having that so I decided to wash and debadge. I am going to Walmart today to try again.

De-Badged

Today I removed the last two badges on the car. The first one was located right beside the rear wiper blade. The second one was beside the right rear brake light. All I did was heat them up with a hair dryer and remove them with a credit card (old one). I then removed the remaining stick with tar/bug remover. Finally I washed and waxed the two areas. Can't even tell they are missing.
