Enough putting
off |
4/16/2003 |
I took out my new inner and outer rubber seal strips
for both doors of my car, as well as the rubber wing part in front
of each window, out of the back of my car. Then I unscrewed/ripped
the old, corroded ones out and put the new ones in. Some of the
screws were inaccessable so I had to tear the strip off the screw to
get them out. I got the small wing parts on easily enough, as well
as the outer seal strips, though some of the screw holes wouldn't
line up so I ended up drilling holes through the metal with the
drill bit that came with the inner strips. The inner ones, however,
also came with staples that were supposed to stick through and the
be bent over with pliers. The problem is, the thing they were
supposed to staple to didn't have any holes and was made of plastic.
I had to take those off for both doors and drill little holes in
sync with holes in the seal strip. Then I stuck the staples through
and used pliers to bend the too-short legs over. It wasn't something
I'd want to do twice, but now it looks a lot better and there is
less wind noise, though it's still there.
Well, with that over with, I then went to Randy's house to show
him "Princess Mononoke" since he liked "Spirited Away". I was also
supposed to bring the DBZ movies he hasn't seen. I guess Amy's
friend, Joann, was borrowing them so we had to go over there and get
the ones she already watched. We got those and I went to Randy's and
he took one look at "Princess Mononoke" and said he's already seen
it, though he didn't recognize the title. Grr. So instead, we
watched movie #6 which is the Metal Kooler one. Then his mom and
brother and sister got home so we had to turn it off. We talked a
little and then I headed home, but stopped by Wal-Mart since it's on
the way from his house. I checked to see when "Spirited Away" will
be available, and they said they got it yesterday but only got 4 and
they were now sold out. I got a box of crackers and said "hi" to
Carly. After a brief conversation she said that she might call in
tomorrow and she'd call me if she does.
When I got home, I saw a note saying that Good Guys called and
said my stereo is ready for me to pick up. Yay! I'll do that
tomorrow. |
