today was relatively enjoyable... in the morning i finished some work we started yesterday on the troublesome Bronco. you know, the one whose rear-end would make a terrible clunking noise during driving. well one day it just decided to stop starting. i jumpstarted it, but a couple of days later it still didnt work. this was many months ago. a friend and former neighbor from daly city decided to come up and help us figure out whats was wrong. after taking off one of the rear tires to see if the problem lay in the wheel bearings we realized that that was not the case and that the problem did indeed lay in the rear differential. so we popped that thing open to find several gear teeth laying at the bottom of the housing... as well as several broken teth on the gear.. obviously the source of our driving woes. since that was lceared up we cleaned it out, got a new gasket and filled it back up with gear oil. the problem still remains that it won't start without a jumpstart. we figure its the battery and so it just needs a new one.. no big deal.

anyways, after the work on the truck, we barbequed some chicken and burgers and stuff to eat before going to the county fair. i1m not a huge fan of fairs.. but it beats staying home and doing nothing. i got to look at a bunch of cool stuff and the group Tower of Power was performing... so it was pretty cool. (alot better than a couple of years ago when "Dogstar" performed... Keanu Reeves' band.. they suck) nothing really eventful took place at the fair... just alota people and at night.. alota lights... the lights are cool, especially from a distance.. when you squint. my feet hurt.
