Spring, All Xbox all the time

by Duf Anything and Everything, SSR

So I found out the spring that broke on the SSR is actually a pretty common occurrence.  It is a spring that simply adds additional resistance to the clutch pedal.  I saw that many guys have intentionally removed this spring for better clutch feel.  For now I think I am going to just leave the spring out to see if I like the feel more or less.  If I decide I like a stiffer pedal I can get a new spring for around $10.

Last night I watched the Game of Thrones finale.  Overall it was good but there are just so many damn story lines going on it is hard to give each one adequate attention in a 60 minute show.  I will be looking forward to see who dies next as season 3 unfolds.

I followed up watching the first of a three part mini-series, the Hatfield’s & McCoy’s based on a recommendation from my buddy at work.  Despite having some impressive cast members, including Kevin Costner and Bill Paxson, it isn’t the type of of subject matter I would normally be interested in watching.  Well I was glad for the recommendation, it’s good so far.  I never had any background on the Hatfield & McCoy story before.

At this point I use my Xbox much more than my Tivo for viewing entertainment, it isn’t even close.

As I was watching the shows I was using my roller to once again roll out my lower body, it didn’t hurt as badly as the first time I did it which is a good thing.  One thing I did notice as I was rolling around was the carpet felt dirty.  I promptly pulled out the steam cleaner and quickly gave the great room carpet area a quick bath.  It felt much better afterward.

I am going to be playing volleyball this upcoming weekend with Tabby.  That means a good portion of my Saturday will be consumed by the thrill of competition, and travel to and from Siesta Key.  In order to make the second half of my weekend not a chore filled pain in the ass, I hope to get a lot of stuff done after work during the week.  One of those things is mowing the grass.  If the weather holds up tonight I will be spending this evening in the seat of the tractor.
