Day 5


We have been in two different hospitals now over the course of a week and it has been a long week. We think we have it figured out and are hitting it with a metric ton off meds. The Gracie is drowsy and cuddly today probably because we are pumping her full of anti-biotic, anti viral and anti fungal cocktails. The kido sat on my lap last night and watched star wars (or at least 20 minutes before she fell asleep) with me and was pretty transfixed. I am sure it was the drugs. I am ready for her to come home.

 

On arrival at the second hospital which we only agreed to come to because they had the iv meds she needed; we were told we don’t have that med. Thus begun world war 3.5. it turns out they did have it they just wanted to make there own diagnosis of the situation. But this is not the way to great 4 people who what to see their little girl come home. It took hour but now she is getting the works pumped in and should be on the road to recovery.

Sick Pumpkin


My little girl is in the hospital with an infected eye. It looks like she was attacked by a wild monkey or something. It is a very helpless feeling when you child is sick. You have to help people who are trying to make them better by making them hurt more. You want to say no, no go away but instead you are holding your baby down as accomplices in the act. When I was still drawing blood from pediatric patients the parents who always say  as I was leaving the room; “the bad man is leaving”. That always made me upset I am trying to help you child get better and you are talking bad about me as I walk out the door.  Now I am the parent and I still feel like the bad man. They had to do a CT scan and even though she was sedated and did not suffer at all during it was very hard for me to watch.

The Celica is very commonly mistaken for Ford Mustangs, I wonder if thats why they have the Ford sponcer.

Jccs 2012

Here are some pica from the 2012 jccs  in long beach CA. This is the third jccs I have been to and there are always great clasic Japanese cars there. This year I went with my wife and daughter. The weather is usually beautiful but this year it was so hot that it was not that fun. But I did get a few good picture.

The Van


So I picked up an 89 Toyota Van with under 200k miles on it; kind of high but it seems to be mechanically sound. I will still be checking it out for a minute. I pull the codes and I got nothing but a lean mixture code. The interior needs help but I have a plan. But I will post more about that as I go. The paint is faded but the body is super straight I don’t think I have noticed one dent. So there is definitely potential. Needless to say I have a new project and a lot of work to do.

On the hunt

It's been almost a year since I had to sale my car and its time to get another. Finally! I have been searching Craigslist for candidates and this Saturday I'm going to the Jccs carshow in long beach CA. Soon I will not have to share or plan my driving. No longer will I have to driving a boring and or avarage car. Hahaha soon I will rule the tri-state area. Hey where's Perry?
