I doubt this is a good thing.

Since I'm driving the Supra to and from school (130 miles round trip), I decided to cahnge the oil in the car for the first time in about 3 years or so. Goes pretty quick really. No real suprises or anything like that. I have noticed a little less oil pressure on the oh so inaccurate guage over the past week or so. Nothing out of the ordinary honestly.

Anyway.. I drain the oil, and it seems to drain rather quickly. More quickly than what I remember it draining. Could just be that I'm used to hte 8 quarts thats in the land cruiser comapred to this 4 and a half. I pull the pan out from under the car, and realize.. there isn't much in here. Not much at all. Hmm. Turns out, I drained 2.25 quarts out of this thing.

Thats problee not a good sign. I wonder if the seals are even working at this point. Its dumping quite a bit of oil at this point. I really need to get on the ball with that new motor.

I also get anywhere from 21 to 23 mpg in this car. Thats all highway driving too. I think it should be so much higher. The new motor will problee yield another 5mpg I bet. I think the best I've even gotten was 28mpg going thru the mountains of western Maryland on my way to a supra meet many years ago.

Back to the MatLab homework. I wanna job.. someone hire me. Heck with school.

schhoooool

this school stuff has got me beat down sumin' fierce. Yesterday, I got up at 630, on the road by 730 and at school by 840 or so. Left hte library at 920 to hit my 930 class. Class from 930 to 1050, then a quick lunch lasted until 1115 or so. THen its back to the library to study for a Economics quiz. At 1250 I leave to take that quiz and get out of class at 215. I, again, hit the library at 230, and am there untill 515 doing math homework.

I get home at 630, drop the books off, and head off to eat. I get to her house at 7, and we're on our way by 715. We eat, get back to her place and I hang out for 30 mins or so. I get home at 1045, and am alseep by 1130 or so.

I then wake up today at 530, and am likely going to be in the library until 5 or 6 tonight.

This shit has gotten me beat down. Many of my classes are 2nd year classes, so I've got to learn the 1st year stuff again since I've forgotten it. It blows.

Jim left me a note wondering where I've been. Now he knows. :)

Hi to everyone else who checks this from time to time. Sorry It hasn't been updated in a while.. but there just isn't enough time in the day. I think this driving sh!t is starting to get to me. That 2 hours I could have to do stuff.

Of well. Maybe I'll update this a bit more often... but I doubt it.
