eBaying It Up (#9)

Howdy Ya'll.  This post is going to be on the simpler side of things today.  I sold an item on eBay for the first time, so now I need to get it to UPS before work so I can get some dollars!  eBay is a pretty cool tool if you are willing to put forward a little effort in getting rid of unused things around the house.  The next item going on the auction block is going to be an oil pan... don't ask.

In other news, I recently started taking advantage of the piano we are "storing" for my sister and printed out some sheet music for a piece I used to know pretty well.  Reading music is a very perishable skill!  I think I drove the wife and kid nuts while attempting to play what was written.  I'll keep trying and just call whatever comes out "indie jazz punk rock", it's a genre most of you just won't get because it is so cool and emo.

The Porsche project made some slight progress this week.  I put an actual car cover over it instead of the black plastic tarp that was taped on.  If enough items sell on eBay, a new timing belt and water pump may be put on order soon.  Not necessarily because the Porsche (it's insulting to call it a car I guess) needs those items, but the motor is dismantled to that level and the experts recommend replacing it as a precautionary step.  I can't wait to get that thing on the road!

Ok, short and sweet and simple.  Must drink 8 more cups of coffee, shower, play some indie jazz punk rock, go to UPS, then finally head off to work.
