when its over, its over, and now its all over

 

Graduated yesterday. They had a school graduation party, 10PM-5 AM(if you attended you get to skip school the next day. They gave out DVD players(2-3 dozen), dorm fridges(8-10), microwaves(5-10), an Xbox, 4 laptops and a car, portible DVD players, TV/DVD combo's, TV's, plus a ton of other stuff(over 600 prizes in all, for my graduating class of over 900).

 

I won a Quesdilla maker. :D Strangely enough, my prize got more recognition that most! "Quesadilla maker? SWEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!" :cool:

 

Also, they had two money machines. I got in line behind 8 or so people. I left the line one hour later when I was behind 16(yup, you read that right) people. I technically have 2 days of school left, but I'm probably only going to one.

 

on to phase two.........

oh yeah, one of the best parts of the ceremony at graduation. The Valordictorian(sp?), an old friend actually, had a nice comparo during his speech

 

"......We are at an end. And end's can be happy, like the last episode of Friend's. It can be sad. Like the last episode of Sienfield. Or it can be weird, like the last episode of Frasier"

 

maybe you had to be there?

Some of the best advice I got after I graduated was, do not screw up the first year of college. Even just after the first year I have friends having to play catch up. Im just glad its not me.

LOL my advice for college would be the exact opposite....if you're gonna screw up, do it your freshman year....people expect it and your somewhat allowed.

 

My other advice....college is a lot more than grades......once you graduate and get your first job, no one will ever ask what your GPA was (hell they didn't even ask for my first job)....and make friends with your RA.....

Congrats and best wishes :D from someone who did the same more years ago than I care to (or can :D ) remember. TMF6902's second bit of advice is very true. Grades are important, but more important is learning how to make friends and live with people who are difficult to live with (you'll get plenty of the former in the dorm and the latter from the profs in the classroom :cool: ). So please enjoy your college years. For me they were the best years of my life, and hopefully they will be for you too.

 

Peace and Cool-ness,

Yes, and make sure you don't have a dirty hippie for a roommate. I had one, he smelled horrible. I moved out of that dorm mid-first semester. But the dorms are great places to make friends, but watch out for the drama and the germs. I have never been more annoyed with people in the dorms because there was always some drama going on. Also, I was always sick until I moved out of the dorms. Healthy as a horse now. Have fun at college or wherever your travels may take you :D

oh yeah, get your meningitis shot too

 

the symptoms come on like a flu, so you tend to stay in bed, but by the time you figure out it's not flu, it's too late!

yeah, but It looks like I'm satying home and attending a community College for the first two years(unless I make a bunch of money out of no where this summer).

 

BUT, the best part of that is I already have enough saved up for next years car insurance and my first years tuition, so I get to play with the Bimmer more, and will be very close to not having much debt when I switch to another college

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I know when I was looking around last year to see if someone handled Amsoil gear oil to buy at the retail level which of course means full price. I found an independent shop that works a lot on GM/Duramax pickups and they did not bring in the 75W-85 as they just stuck to the 75W-90 for the front and rear as a standard practice for the HD trucks which makes sense anyway for the higher hp/torque diesel and pulling heavy loads in four wheel drive. I haven't changed my diff oils yet but still plan on using the 75W-85 for the front diff as I highly doubt I will be beating on the truck and figured for my use type the bit thinner oil would be to my benefit for the winter for that slightly less drag. Very different weather here all winter vs northern Washington near the coast, that's for sure.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Ok that confirms the extra quart theme they are still going with which must mean they have noted some initial use more so then some engines and probably the bigger factor in all of this probably isn't the engine so much as its the insane distance or OLM that lulls a lot of the driving public into driving their new vehicle off the lot and not even doing one short interval oil change because the manufacturer doesn't say different and if the dealer follows that logic as well. Selling the rarely needing to be serviced concept seems to go over well with the public that wants to get away with as little as possible for dollars spent on the vehicles maintenance and I bet there are 3.0 engines just like other vehicles out there that never have their oil checked by the owner which goes back to why they probably felt the need to add that extra quart to avoid a costly theme.    Speaking of cutting filters open, it was probably over two years ago now that a youtuber who buys vehicles to do longer term reviews and pulls a fifth wheel through the mountains of Colorado on summer trips and that becomes part of the testing. Anyway he had a GM HD with the 6.6 gas and a Ford 250 with the 7.3 gas at the same time and of no surprise the Ford had more power etc but somewhere along the way in the few thousand miles he put on the truck, he changed the oil and was seeing glitter and cut open the filter and yeah, things were not looking spectacular. The truck about that time or soon after seemed down on power compared to what it had been and then threw some engine code, I expect the cam/lifters were failing and so he brought the truck back to the dealer and made some deal to get out of it as he knew it would sit for months waiting on a new engine as they were so backlogged at the time. He kept the GM for some time after that using it exclusively until he sold it after buying his next vehicle to do a review on. Definitely the filter can tell a story when things are starting to go sideways, but it would be a sickening feeling to cut it open and be faced with an ugly mess like that and be running a magnet through the pleats and the oil on the dirty side of the filter and see all the fines sticking to the magnet.    The dealer may have some ideas based on experience as to where that coolant smell is coming from, I would imagine if they can't find it but its smelling they would put dye in it to they could give it a run cycle and use the black light to see where it pops up, if its a hose connection, water pump, rad or even a head gasket etc.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By davester · Posted

      charm.li (website) has the vehicle-specific diagnostic procedure for that code, you can use to find what the cause of it is.
