Yep, the short block needs to be replaced. Fun? NOT AT ALL! This is going to be a nightmare! Non-Subaru warrant company, ~$10k job, owner maintained vehicle, blablabla. I have to commit to the repairs before warranty co. approves. BS?? Yes! I have to fight more with Subaru tomorrow. I am soo dreading this troubleshooting and repair! This is a BIG job!

I got a new personal cell and a new work cell. Oooh, slimmer phones :) I like- they won't take so much room in my purse! And, hopefully Windows mobile is better than Palm, cause the Treo crashed on me 5xs! I had to re-install the apps 5 xs in one year! I can hear way better on my personal phone now. The old one sucked! Yea for new phones :).

Ok, I need to finish some work for a meeting I have tomorrow....

Yea! new garage door opener IS installed! I had a loud, crappy Stanley chain drive that has been replaced by a Craftsman belt drive . Mario spent 4 hours removing the old one and installing the new opener. Yea, quieter, faster AND I have a light :)!

My friend Roxann, is moving in next weekend. I'm looking forward to it, but at the same time am a little worried. I have always been weary on rooming with good friends. You never know how a few trivial habits a person has can been so annoying or frustrating when living with them. We are both mature, completely understand each other and have great communication, so I think it will be cool. I am really looking forward to actually living with a friend, someone I trust, have loads of fun with and is straight headed!

I finally undecorated my tree and pulled my tree outside. Manual saws suck! I cut that crap in half and spent forever doing it. Ok, Mario actually did the last hack since I was spent!

I was suppose to go dirtbike riding today, but with all the rain! It'd be terrible! My friend bailed out since he was sick, so I had no ride there anyway :(. Larissa needs a truck!

The SNOW has hit Kirk! I've got a trip planned from this Fri-Mon and am TOTALLY looking forward to it! The snow is going to be awesome!

I am taking my car in tomorrow for the oil check. On conventional oil I've burned ~2 qts /1500 miles vs. 3 /1500 miles on synthetic. I'm still confused and suspicious! Can there really be that big of a difference between conventional and synthetic oil? I dunno and Subaru houses idiots! I need a new car...
