I just want let everyone know how proud of myself I am. I don’t know if I told you all but after a run in with the law I was forced to sell Willy. It was sad but had to be done. So with the money I sold it for I got a new car for 800 dollars named Rosy.
I got her from a used car dealership. Still after a short time I felt that I might of got ripped off. The car began overheating. =(. I was so down but decided to get myself some tools and do something about it. Now there are three main components to a cooling system in a car, a thermostat (that acts like a valve) a radiator (that cools the water) and a water pump. First I took out the thermostat to make sure it was good….it was. I even took it to a mechanic and he said he wasn’t sure why it wasn’t working. So I got a new radiator as the mechanic told me that it may have been clogged. So after installing it, I still was having no luck. I seriously had spent several hours on various days under the hood of the car. Believe me it sucks in Hawaiian heat to be under the hood while your friends are out surfing.
I was so down about it. I had no transportation and had wasted time and money. I had blown into the tubes that carry the water and it flowed fine so I thought," Well, it can’t be clogged, it must be the water pump". So at my wits end, I was about to take on a five hour task of taking out the water pump but I decided to try blowing in the tubes one more time to see if the water flowed. I blew in and it went fine but then I realized I was blowing in the opposite direction of the flow. So I blew in the other tube……AND THE WATER DIDN’T FLOW. So I started blowing frantically in the other end to push out whatever was inside. YOU CANT IMAGINE HOW HAPPY I WAS WHEN A ROTTED GREEN RAG FELL OUT OF THE TUBE ONTO THE GROUND.
The rag had been clogging the line. So after flushing out the tubes with more water, SHE STARTED RUNNING PERFECT. I was so happy and felt like such a sexy man god for my mechanical achievement. So now Rosy is running fine. Packed with friends, and carrying us from adventure to adventure, it’s a great car (though a little soccer momish I know)!!!!

Well done Ernst! Better to use your head than break your back I always say!
Though I am a bit concerned you were blowing THE WRONG WAY! Perhaps I should be more concerned about a rotten green rag inside your radiator hoses...?

Okay I think I got this thing figured out. That was pretty awesome finding a rag in the radiator. As I would have never looked in their all my life somebody must've been screwing around. Well why you're out there surfing I am going to start to play in about 15 tournaments the next couple of months. Uncle Keith
Lily Lu is sitting on my lap right now looking at pictures of "GaiCub".
What can I say, she missing her "Gay-Cub". Lol.
Rosy isn't as good as Willy! And
Willy wasn't as good as Moby! It's getting progressively worse...someday when Ian is there he's going to end up in old Chevy Lumina.
Maybe a cool stripe would help.
Still - as I always say: transportation is better than no transportation. (Er...I mean sometimes say, or have said once, or actually have never said at all until this comment)

Jake... let's talk for a minute about your picture... the ones with you all dirty, manly, working, WITH YOUR BACK TO THE CAMERA are great... the last one however...er... you look a bit doofus.
I'm just sayin'...
But your hair is sure blonde!
Damnit I just posted to your blog twice in a row without a problem that's just like you fixing your car. Danny no matter how dirty he looks we have to give him an a plus for fixing that car. I went out and shot a 78 off the back tees today and won two dollars. It's funny my two nephews one is surfing and the other one is in Reno try to stay away from the earthquakes. I'll see you guys around June 30.
