Well, this morning I find out that one of the kids I used to coach apparently had been sexually abused over the last 4 years by his dad. He's now in jail on $1 million bail and his mom is now in jail too for apparently providing the kid with some pot. He's got a younger brother too and they are now both in protective care......

In other news about me though....
I got the first 3 seasons of Seinfeld on DVD, very nice..
I'm now house-sitting at the neighbors for a week and their dog is a royal pain in the butt....
TACO BELL IS OPEN AGAIN.....but I havent gone yet

Check out this Bad @$$ system!!


WHAT?!?!?!?!  Those flux capacitors are running 1.21 gigawatts?!?!?!



Final carpet all in....


 
FINALLY DONE!!
11.20.04 (3:00 am)   [edit]
Well, 5am and project is finally finished for the most part.  I can drive around and piss off all the neighbors now.  There are a few minor details to finish up on, but the thing works and is amazing.  Too tired to post any pics yet, maybe tomorrow.
 
Stereo............Stereo
11.19.04 (11:26 pm)   [edit]

Well, it's about 1:30am and we're still working on my stereo.  So the physical labor on this has been going on for about 2 months now, but things are finally starting to wrap up.  I heard the first sound out of the sub tonight and it was amazing.  I went inside for a second and all the cupboards in the house were bouncing like crazy.  The majority of this thing should be finished up tonight with just some minor fixes/additions that will be done later on.  Many pics to come!


Had my Polotical science midterm today and I think it went really well.  It was 3 essay's and I did awesome on the first and last.  The other one I'm a little iffy about, but I should still be fine.


Saw that Eric left a nice little comment on my last post so i want to give a little shout out to good ol' Sath!


So there is another cute girl that I failed to really talk to while I was at the vet in Hillsboro with my friend Adam.  May have to make a trip back there, but I'm not holding my breath.


Well, I better get out to the garage before the guys come in here and yell at me for not being out there with them.  I think it's weird that I'm rather technologically savy but when it comes to car audio I'm a total ditz.  Hmmm....

 
..........yeah
11.17.04 (6:27 pm)   [edit]

So the next 2 nights are going to involve lots of studying...for political science.  The other stupid people in the class chose the same style of test as we had last time.  The teacher states "It's almost impossible to get an F."  Well Professor, I seem to have done it.  So now I have to study my butt off to try and salvage a passing grade in there so I can get my reimbursement back from work.  What a pain.


Talking with my car buddy last night and found out that he's going to have a 30 minute segment on Spike TV coming up pretty soon about his company.  So he rented out this race track up in washington and wants me to be one of the guys up there with him to run on it that day, no charge.  So not only will I finally get the chance to run on a track, but I might get to be on tv too.....wild!!!


English class was more of the same.....grrrrr


Well, that's about it for now, time to hit the books.  Wish me luck!

 
# 7
11.15.04 (9:10 pm)   [edit]

Well....he did it!!!  Bonds won MVP #7.  If you don't know me that well, Barry Bonds is my favorite athlete of all time.  Now he only trails Wayne Gretzky for most MVP's (9), but has 4 more than any other baseball player.  CRAZY!!!  I wore (one of) my Bonds shirts today in anticipation.


Went bowling tonight with Adam.  I won all 3 games against the "Pro".  started off the night with 5 straight strikes....then I started thinking about a perfect game and I blew it right there.  Had a 198 though.  Not too shabby.  It was nice to finally get out and do something.  Though I neglected my math homework for the night (sorry Shawn) it was well needed.  I think I work too much.  Greatest part of the night was the guy walking out of the bathroom with TP stuck to his foot.  He noticed though before he walked out the door and kicked it off with his other foot.......but it stuck to that one and he walked out!!  HAHAHAHAHA


Thinking about some things and I'm trying to figure out a way to go to school and coach this spring...but then the financial situation comes into play.  Maybe I should make a trip to the casino to pick up some funds for the spring so I don't need to......probably not.


Speaking of the whole casino thing...I haven't been in quite some time now.  That's pretty big for me.  When I first started going I would win and win and win, then my luck changed.  I think I'm still up overall, but I need to hold onto the money for now. 


I need to find time soon here to go through DEQ.  Never had to deal with something like that at such a busy time. 


Somebody at Wells Fargo today asked if I would work for them the day after Thanksgiving.....I laughed


I think one of the first things I would do if I won the lottery...buy Shawn his Ipod Photo so he'd quit bugging me about it.


Laura is cool.....if you read this say hi or something


Are blogs supposed to be random thoughts, because that's where I seem to be heading.


New socks feel so nice


English class went ok......need to just grow some balls....maybe Wednesday


I think I'm about done for the night, can't think of much more random stuff and sorry, but no pic for tonight.

 
Um......
11.14.04 (8:02 pm)   [edit]

Well, don't really know what to say....


The car made awesome progress last night....then it went dead as we found that the speakers that I had bought almost a year ago don't fit, although the guy at Magnolia HiFi had told me that those were the only ones they sold they he had known they fit the car.  We'll have to see what happens with that now.  Neighbor then tries to sell me a pair of his that actually do fit...for about $70 more than what I can get them for brand new.  Hmmm...tough call.  I will post current pics....gotta love those right?


Got some new shoes at work today, somebody bought them for another person and they didn't like them.  So I bought them off of her instead of making her take them back to the store.  Pimp pair of Nike's for $40, I'll do that most any day.


Happy Birthday Shawn and Traci!


I have English class tomorrow!  Those of you in the know.....you know


Giants signed Omar Vizquel tonight....that's risky.  12.25 million for 3 years.  Should have saved that money for Nomar.


 
Still Working on the Car
11.12.04 (11:21 pm)   [edit]

So this car stereo project is STILL going on.  Around 2 months on the actual labor part of it, have been buying parts for it for the last year almost.  It is tough to get things done though since I know nothing about doing audio installs and since I work every night but Friday's, only get 1 night a week to try and do things.  It's starting to come along rather nicely.  Pics at the bottom. 


Still not close to having my room done...washing clothes part is coming along well though.


Went to Political Science today and the stupid class voted to have the same type of test as we did last time.  All Essay.....what's with that crap?  Some type of test I failed last time....thanks a bunch!!


Um...not too sure what else to write about for today, that's about all that happened.


Have a goodnight.....leave a comment


 
Grand Re-opening!!
11.11.04 (8:57 pm)   [edit]

So I wasn't too happy with the last site, so i decided to start with this new place.  I'm hoping that people will actually post now that you dont have to resister to do so (at least I don't think you do)


To catch up on things, my old site is http://www.robhofer.blogspot.com" title="http://www.robhofer.blogspot.com" target="_blank"http://www.robhofer.blogspot....


Cleaning my room is still going on.  Day 2 of the project.  It turned out worse than it started after the first night because i decied to rearrange while cleaning....what a mess.  It's getting better though.


Thought crossed my mind about selling my camera to upgrade to a new model that just came out.  Why?  Because it can take more pictures per second mostly.  Other reasons too, but that was the main.  Worth the extra $1000 it probably would cost me?  Luckily I decided not at this time.


I found a note while cleaning from my friend Megan that says don't own more than 1000 DVD's....I better count


Well I hope the 2 or 3 of you that see this like the new site.  Tell a friend or something.


Big dates upcoming in my life:


November 15 - National League MVP Announced.....Barry Bonds 7th?


November 25 & 26 - No School AND No Work...Haven't had a day like that in a while
