I got my pre-ordered Tech N9ne album on monday. That was awesome because it was a whole day early! I ordered it about a month ago and the wait was beyond worth it.  The album was awesome, I got a cool t-shirt, a nice decal, a signed album booklet, a silver collectors coin, and a bonus CD.  So far it just keeps getting better and better with every play through.  Now all that's left is to finish up the rest of the school year and then go to the Tech N9ne concert in lewiston the week after classes end.  The other nice part is as soon as classes end I can finally start working again at the county highway district.  It's a simple job of spraying weeds and fixing road signs but it's a job I thoroughly enjoy doing.  It's nice because its an easy, four day a week job that pays pretty decent wages.  It's enough to pay for stuff that i want and whatnot.  It was enough last year for me to buy a pickup and still have a lot left over.  Then it's on to waiting for next school year to start basically.  Not that I want to spend the time waiting for school to start, that's just usually what it amounts to though.

march 31 thru april 4

I went to see montez from workaholics perform stand up at the sub on tuesday.  I must say he was rather funny. He did tell a lot of rather racy and dirty jokes and some that were possibly in bad taste but they made me laugh so I do not care ha ha. He made a lot of sex related jokes, a lot of which were about a website that he frequented that was basically a site for porn bloopers.  Then today I went to the newest captain america movie, which was much better than I expected.  There was a lot of explosions and badass fighting scenes that were extremely well choreographed.  A lot of flipping, rolling, spinning, flipping and more flipping.  Some nice plot twists were tossed in there too, so that was pretty neat.  There's a part where Samuel L. Jackson is a complete bad mother fucker, as he always is in any movie, and just kicks ass.  It still wasn't exactly the greatest piece of cinema I have seen but it was thoroughly enjoyable I would say.

This week actually went by really fast.  Spring break ended and I was depressed, now its friday and I am happy once again.  This weekend is sure to be a busy one, seeing as I have a lot of family events I have to attend.  My grandma's birthday is sunday so I have to help make her dinner and then go to my aunt and uncle's house for my little cousins birthday.  Gotta love conflicts in schedules.  The big thing I'm waiting for is my birthday.  I am (hopefully) getting a nice pair of White's boots from my parents which would make me sooooooo happy.  They're pretty expensive boots but they last a long time and can be repaired for free whenever something on them breaks or rips or falls apart.  They're just super comfortable, durable and all around great boots.  I really need a new pair to have this summer for work, seeing as its almost a given that you need a good pair of boots to work on a road maintenance crew.  I spend a lot of my time in a pickup driving through the county and spraying weeds, fixing signs, flagging while the roads are being chip-sealed (similar to asphalt paving).  The worst days are chip-sealing for sure.  We do it right at the end of august basically when its super hot, we stand on a hot road in the sun all day wearing jeans and high visibility vests. It's nice for a day when it's different than spraying weeds all day, but after that its just hot, messy, and terrible.  The chip-seal just sticks to everything too, the oil they put down is extremely sticky so the gravel chips stick to the existing road surface.  That also makes the rock stick to your tires, vehicle and everything else that touches it, so your shoes get ruined if you walk in it, which is what I do all day.

I went to Elk River today to help my grandparents take some couches to their cabin there.  The snow is about three to four feet deep there, but it's such old snow that it's basically ice at this point and you just walk along the top of it.  Dallan and I had to carry a hide-a-bed up a flight of stairs into their upstairs living room area.  Those hide-a-beds are heavy as shit.  It didn't help that I threw out my shoulder yesterday pull starting my friends four-wheeler (like how you have to start a lawnmower but way harder).  Holy hell my shoulder hurts now.  Along with my knees from riding yesterday I am just miserable right now.  On top of all that I was going to go on a nice date tonight but that fell through too, but no big deal that just means pizza and a poker night with my friends!

Today I went riding for the first time in awhile.  I went out to viola and loaded up my grandpa's four wheeler into the back of my pickup and came back to town for a couple hours while I waited for my buddy to get his four wheeler running.  I also had to buy sixty dollars worth of gas since my rig was running low and I had to fill the four wheeler up.  The ride itself was pretty fun.  We rode through snow, mud ( a lot of mud), water, more mud, more snow and some more mud.  I got stuck when some of the hard snow we were riding on broke and my rear tires sunk into about two feet of mud and mucky water.  It wasn't hard to get out of but I got covered in the damn mud.  We actually got snowed on for a good hour, we eventually decided to pack it all up and head back.  When I was unloading my grandpa's four wheeler from the back of my pickup when I was returning it I almost flipped it over.  I gotta say that was pretty terrifying.

My birthday is exactly a month from today, fun fact of the day.  Today I pretty much did nothing other than sleep a lot and take Dallan to the mall to buy an xbox one since his car is in the shop.  It's there because it got hit and run a couple of weeks ago.  It was in pretty bad shape too, needs a new hood and front fender.  I listened to a lot of music too.  I think I just put a playlist on and listened to like 150 songs or so, it was nice to just zone out and listen to some tunes for awhile.  I have been getting back into my country music lately since the weather is getting nice.

Today I finally got to wash my pickup and clean the entire thing out.  I spent a good hour washing it and getting all the winter muck and magnesium chloride off of it.  Then I dried it and began work on the inside.  I had a lot of trash, random tools and clothing items throughout the cab.  I then took the floor mats out and washed them off.  Once my rig was completely dry I waxed it. At this point I had been working on my rig for around two and a half hours.  After I finished waxing it I got the shop vac out and vacuumed as much of the interior as i could get to.  I reorganized everything that I needed to keep in the cab and added some supplies.  I put my toolbox back in, my first aid kit, my gallon of emergency water, half a gallon of motor oil, and some other stuff.  Then I decided while I was at it I would polish my chrome, there is a lot of chrome on my pickup.  It took about another hour.  Once everything was all said and done I had spent four hours washing, waxing, vacuuming, reorganizing, polishing and detailing my pickup.  I felt pretty good.
