I actually had a reason to be in the area of the tattoo shop…I was looking at a car at a car lot only 1 block from Ray’s shop. As it turns out, I got the car and the ink on the same day. So, the car is a 2002 Mustang GT Convertible. I’m happy with the car Now, all I have to do is upgrade the car stereo. Recommendations for local car audio shops that can do high quality installations appreciated. I want the car to basically look like it has the stock stereo unless you open the trunk, and I don’t really care about replacing the head unit (although I won’t rule that out either). I’m mainly interested in replacing the speakers and putting in a couple power amps. My home stereo has somewhere in the range of 2,700 watts of *very* clean power, so no factory car stereo will *ever* satisfy me after being spoiled by the home audio gear 1 or more subwoofers, new speakers in the door panels, and power amps are what I’m sure I want. Putting it all in so that I don’t loose any more trunk space than I have to and so that the amps don’t overheat on hot summer days and so that the interior of the car looks stock are important to me (if it looks too flashy, then I would be worried about people trying to rip it off when I park the car with the top down). Of course, sound quality is also important

OK. The woman mentioned that I was getting work done in her journal, so here it is:

Amongst other things, she really likes them on me. Not so much because of anything special about these, but because I’ve always kept my tattoos where they aren’t commonly visible. That isn’t the case with these, I wear shorts all the time in this damn hot and humid North Carolina climate I think she said something about giving me more of that “bad boy” persona…guess I’ll just have to play that up some time in the next week or so when we aren’t both wincing in pain

Well, the last three weeks or so have been so busy I haven’t really had much of a chance to write in here. I have a code freeze deadline approaching one week from next Monday. So, about 7 business days left to get the code done. I’ve been hammering out patches as fast as I can for 3 weeks straight now trying to get everything done in time. We’ll see how it turns out…
