Neither Here nor There

I’m home for the first time in a while today.
Woke up at nine and took a shower. Went to my dad’s house at ten to take out his stereo. Harrison gets to my dad’s at about 10:45. We get the stereo out, and I head home. Harrison runs to his house to get a wiring harness to fit my old car and the new stereo.
We get to my house, get the stereo installed, and come to find that the wiring harness is wrong. We go to Wal-Mart, AutoZone, and K-Mart, to no avail. So, we decide to take a break.
Harrison goes home. I go to my room for about ten minutes before Caleb calls to ask if I know how to change oil. I go to Caleb’s house and change his oil around one. I come home around 2:30.
I go to Harrison’s and swim for a few hours with him and Tim. We decide the best course of action regarding my car is to go back to my dad’s, rip out his wiring harness, and take it back to my house and crimp it on to my wiring harness. I go to my dad’s and get the end connector to the harness, and head to my house. We need butt ends.
We go to Wal-Mart around 6:45, and they don’t have them. We go to Dairy Queen and get some yummies. We take my mom some yummies. Around 7:10, we go to Lowes, which actually has them. We go home, crimp the wires, bastardize the antenna connector until it hooks in, and wonder of wonders, my stereo now works, at 7:57. Both rear speakers. Finally. I was supposed to go running with Brandy at eight.
I try calling her, and she’s out. I go to the track and run two miles before the Brownie Batter Blizzard kicks in and stops me. I come home and write a blog entry.
Interesting day.
