Selling my 300ZX


I WILL BE POSTING PICS AFTER THIS AND SENDING THE LINK TO MY EBAY CUSTOMERS.
SO EACH PIC HAS TO COME SEPERATELY.
SORRY!!!


Vehicle Description
I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THIS CAR ON EBAY WITH THE INTENTION TO RESTORE, OF COURSE I DIDN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE AMOUNT OF TOOLS I WOULD NEED, SO DUE TO A FINANCIAL CRUNCH I AM FORCED TO SELL YET ANOTHER FAVORITE PROJECT.
THE GUY I BOUGHT IT FROM SAID IT OVER HEATED AND THEY JUST LET IT SIT FOR YEARS.
I WENT UNDER THE HOOD AND CHANGED THE THERMOSTAT AND WHILE DOING THAT NOTICED THE RADIATOR HOSES WERE ALL CUT UP AND NO GOOD ANY MORE.
I CHANGED THE HOSES AND IT NO LONGER OVERHEATED, BUT IT WAS KNOCKING.
THE ENGINE HAS BEEN MOSTLY DISMANTLED, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE TOOLS, NOR THE MONEY TO COMPLETE THE OVERHAUL JOB.
THIS WILL MAKE AN EXCELLENT CAR WITH A LITTLE MECHANICAL WORK.
IT IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE.
THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BOTH RADIO CONTROLS THAT WORK AND CRUISE CONTROL.
THE FRONT SEATS NEED RECOVERING BUT THE BACK IS BEAUTIFUL.
I TEST DROVE IT AFTER FIXING THE OVERHEATING PROBLEM AND THE GEARS ALL SHIFT.
THIS CAR HAS TO TRAILERED.

Com Pai?!!!

Today, while having lunch at Fujiyama, I created a spicy new drink.
Wasabi and Sake.
Like peanut butter and chocolate,
A bit harder to down
Mighty hard on the
Stomach
But
Somehow appropriate.

Com Pai.
Was-Sake!!

On a Roll



This is an unfinished piece inspired by an exotic passage from my attempt at the NaNo last year. Now how do I get the women hanging from beams, clad in black leather bondage suits with body parts revealed, into the cages?

So, I am having Thanksgiving at my house this year.
Mom in her psychedelic fog cracked a rare smart-alecky comment about my tendency to go overboard.
Damn it sucks to be so transparent.
Well, I decided I would make bread instead of buying it,
I’d make leafs for my new garage sale steal of a dining room table that when pulled out with it’s new leafs (I am so proud of) it seats 10.
I’ll make new drapes and table cloths with ,
what?
place mats, yes, whoo hoo,
I am on a roll now.
Hmm why buy napkins from the store,
I’ll MAKE THEM!!!!
Ok now mom insist on the traditional turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing, and said she would do that
(I don't think she can do that seeing bunny's running arround in the liveing room, complements of Lithium, Thorazine, Prozac, Wellbutrin and whatever that other one is)
so I can get down to the gourmet, Crown Roast of Pork with Porcini, Fennel an Apple Stuffing. All this and full time school.
I built the leafs, as told above,
made the drapes,
but damn these placemats are getting a bit much,
not to mention the napkins.
I am giggling like crazy right now because everyone’s placemats and napkins will be a different size and shape if I can’t get my mom off the psycho drugs.
She lifts her head after I butchered the fabric and say’s, “you cut that wrong”,
Gee thanks mom.
I started baking the bread and guess what……
I didn’t know the recipe was for three loafs of bread,
And didn't discover this until after I had 8 batches rising.
so now I have 24 loafs and each guest has to eat at least three.
Oh, my god, I am laughing my ass off.
So the recipe says place loafs on cooking stone
put 1/3 cup water in broiler pan beneath stone
and spritz loafs.
Ok, seems easy,
Loafs on stone,
push in,
pour water in pan,
BAM,
exploding blue glass everywhere.
Guess a glass broiler pan was not the choice of material.
Now only 22 LOAFS

Facts

  1. Cherokee is spoken today by about fourteen thousand people in western North Carolina and northeastern Oklahoma.
  2. Cherokee became a distinct language about thirty-five hundred years ago.
  3. Structurally, Cherokee is a polysynthetic language.
  4. Given all possible combinations of affixes, each regular verb can have 21,262 inflected forms.
  5. The Cherokee writing system was devised by Sequoyah, the only person in recorded history to accomplish such a task without first being literate in at least one language.
  6. Today, the Overhill dialect is maintained by about thirteen thousand people in northeastern Oklahoma. The Middle dialect is now spoken by about seven hundred people on the Qualla Boundary in North Carolina. The Lower dialect is extinct; its last speaker was encountered by the ethnologist James Mooney on the Qualla Boundary in 1888. Another dialect, which shows characteristics of both the Overhill and Middle dialects, is spoken today by about three hundred fifty people in the Snowbird Community near Robbinsville, North Carolina. Cherokee speakers constitute the seventh largest group of speakers of native languages north of Mexico, and in some communities in eastern Oklahoma and western North Carolina, Cherokee is used by speakers of all ages.

How!!

Against the common consensus, I am taking Cherokee language courses at college this fall.

I have heard:
1.Why would you take that?

2.Who are you going to talk to?
3.If you take that class, you have to attend at night.
4.Isn’t that a waste of money, you could use that time and money for your degree plan?
5.I don’t understand why you would choose a lost language, You Are SOOO Weird.

Well, I agree with almost all of the reasons why I should take something else, I have asked myself those very questions, especially the night class, but my heart, the heart of a 1\8th Cherokee says Do IT!!
And for all those with #5….
YES
I AM CRAZY
And even
WEIRDER.
If no one thought it would be worth it, they wouldn’t offer Cherokee and Choctaw, and then surely the language would be lost.
I feel I should support it, my gut is that of an adventurer and explorer, so those who know how far off the deep end I can jump, be happy it’s in the seat of a class that makes no sense to you instead of the other side of the world.
With that said

Chrerio and up cherokee creek

She new there was a price to pay, and the cost a steep lifetime penance, yet guilt and charity plead its case and the Libran scales they weighed in and a cross balance beam to hell was chosen. Knew she’d be paying and thought it would be sooner, not prepared for it now, damn she could have done it then, her dreams are up for destruction once again, will her survivor mode be enough this time?
