    even of small accomplishment, is a great feeling. What have you accomplished lately that has made you satisfied?

    Yesterday I repaired part of my radiator and learned how to change my car's oil. It was so goddamn easy I regret the $$ I've spent getting it quicklubed in the past. Fun, too. At the end of the day I had black fingernails and smelled like a grease-monkey (which I rather liked actually) but I felt awesome.

    Since my dad left it has been quite of an adjustment having to learn how to take care of my car myself. He used to do all that. But it's been good for me. Most importantly, I've learned how not to get screwed over by up-selling mechanics (my early technique was just saying "No, can't afford it today" until I was able to research it further).

    I just listened to a full set of tapes by Les Brown - Live Full and Die Empty - http://LesBrown.com

    They definatley changed my philosophy toward certain things for the better, and I'm probably gonna listen to them a few times through to make sure I really get it all :)
