Pete's Log: Mars, soccer, transmissions, milk
Entry #1048, (Life in General)(posted when I was 22 years old.)
stupid clouds. So Thursday evening, we converged at Paul's house. Rob has a telescope, and we were going to check out Mars. But it was very cloudy Thursday night, whenever Mars was brightest. Oh well, we had plenty of fun anyways. I had a great amount of fun checking out Paul's music collection, which is mainly fun 80s stuff.
Friday I watched Mars a bunch (mainly during kernel compiles), but Rob was out of town so no telescoping...
Saturday I got to play some soccer with Virgil and a friend of his. Great stuff.
I am rather reassured and amused to have found standardshift.com. I wasted some time Saturday evening reading up on how transmissions work and how clutches work and such. Clutches work sort of like I had thought, though there are some things I didn't quite realize. I now finally understand the concept of doubleclutching. I was also kind of surprised by just how vastly different automatic transmissions are from manuals.
At about 3 (Sat night/Sun morning) I got bored of what TV had to offer, and since I'd been wanting a milkshake for several days, I made the trek to the Scottsdale Steak n Shake, visited Lisa, and had a vanilla shake.
Sunday evening I went to a bbq event at Rob's place. Quite entertaining. We played some darts. True to my style, I managed to pull the dart board off the wall a couple times. This is quite amusing, Rob claims nobody else has ever pulled the board off the wall, but every time I've played darts at his place, I've done so. It's because I rule.
During the past week, I've consumed two gallons of 2% milk. I think that's a personal record.
