Right...Right...Right...

its one of those weekends. i just wanna finish doing all the stuff that i have always wanted to do but didn't. theres just a damn bucket load. clean out the garage again because the spiders have made themselves comfortable in every corner. mop the kitchen floor, cause i believe that if i am the person complaining about it being unsanitary, trust me, it has failed the general health code on many many levels. start packing the guest room, because me and Pup decided to mess an otherwise totally neat and tidy room. we both decided to play "Whats-in-that-brown-box!" as the name implies, we move nicely packed boxes down from the cupboard, and pull each item out and exclaim one of the follow statements:

1) oh that's where it went to.
2) eh? is that yours or mine?
3) see! i buy stuff for you, and you don't use it.
4) i knew it was there ALL along.

this particular Sunday, i have decided to work on my car's rims instead. its probably not been mentioned before, but the rims that came with the car are totally buggered. buggered to the nth degree, buggered with a capital B. its got scratches, gutter scuffs, tar deposits and unknown sticky substances that even bacteria wouldn't live on. i checked out that to pay someone to restore the rims to original showroom shine, would set me back AUD$80 for each rim. i wouldn't even do it if it was for AUD$20 bucks per rim. actually, now that i think about it, AUD$20 is actually cheap as chips. i would send it in if it was that cheap, but it isn't and so my day begins. i wash it, sand it, coat it in gunk removing chemicals, then rinse it off, then repeat the whole process again another 2 times, making the run 3 in total.

i say do it, sure its hard as hell, twice as dirty as my kitchen, and three times harder then doing a standard car servicing. with all the damn flies trying to commit mass suicide in my mouth, all this adds towards what i believe to be a 'Character Building Activity', conveniently coined by Bill Watterson of Calvin & Hobbes. oh well, it never gets boring in Camp Aaron i say. tune in soon for the overwhelming success story of my DIY rim restoration.
