A couple of weeks ago I bought a box of window tint film. I want to tint the windows of my hot rod limo black. I tried to install the film myself without any help, but found that there were a lot of bubbles in the end result and I wasn’t happy with it at all. So after a few days of thinking about it, I pulled the tint off of the windows and decided to try again.
This time I removed the windows from the truck and brought them inside. I laid them flat on the dining room table and installed the tint in the house. I asked my wife to help me, and she did. (Thanks wife!) The end result was much better, there were still a couple of bubbles which I ended up being able to pop with a pin and super glue down. Then I put the windows back into the hot rod and I have to say it looks great!
I stopped at a traffic light the other night and when I took off I thought I smelled a little bit of exhaust coming into the cab of the truck. By the time I got home, I knew there was exhaust coming into the truck. I crawled underneath the truck and found that the top of the muffler was rotted and split open. It wasn’t making any noise, but it was pushing the exhaust up inside the cab.
I got a price to put the exhaust on the truck from a dealership - it almost scared me to death - almost $800! I went to buy the exhaust for myself at the parts store and it was $460. So I went online to a parts store that I buy parts from, not knowing if they sell exhaust or not and purchased the whole exhaust shipped right to me for half. I’ll be installing it myself next week. I love the Internet!
Since I’ve been staying at home so much, recovering from that car accident last fall I’ve been spending a lot more time at the computer. So much time, in fact, that my wife broke down and bought me my own computer! She says that she is tired of telling me that she needs the computer to do her bookkeeping duties. I’ve been really enjoying learning how to blog, and learning more about the Internet and computers in general. I really didn’t realize just how complicated it all was, setting up your own website! And there are so many different kinds of webhosting services that are available out there! It’s positively mindboggling and fascinating all at the same time!
I’ve found a good website called the webhostinggeeks.com that has a lot of articles about the different types of web hosting, and it reviews and recommends the best web hosting services available “out there” based on their research. One of the things that I was surprised to learn from their website is that there are some web hosting services that provide free domain names as part of their service! I thought that you had to buy a domain name first, and then find a web hosting service, but this article has shown me that you can pick out your web hosting service first and then get the domain name for free through that company. So this website is definitely worth a reading if you are thinking about setting up your own new website, it can save you some money and steer you in the direction of the best hosting service for your needs.
