August update

August 9th, 2007

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, so I thought I’d give an update on what’s been going on in my life lately.

For the 24th of July, a Utah holiday, I traveled to St. George to visit my family.  We were supposed to all go up to our cabin on Cedar Mountain but a fire near Zion’s National Park threatened our property up there.  My parents were up there at the time and were evacuated.  So I just decided to visit St. George instead.  It’s always nice to see family and friends.

My friend Ian and his family came up to see his wife’s parents off to their LDS mission.  While they were up they stayed two nights at my house.  They planned to go to Lagoon and invited me along.  It was lots of fun!  We went on the new roller-coaster, the Wicked, which shoots you straight up and then you fall straight down.  My favorite ride, the Samurai, was closed. :(   But I still had a blast!

I, again, went to St. George last weekend.  A few months back I found out that my right caliper in my car froze up, causing my left brake to wear down to the metal and ruin my rotor.   I ended up having to replace my breaks and rotors.  I didn’t replace my frozen caliper though, ’cause I couldn’t afford it.  I replaced my brakes and rotors with the cheapest parts available, planning to have my brother Rick help me fix it all correctly later.  Rick works at Big O Tires so he always hooks me up with parts and labor.  What a great brother!  Anyways…to make a long story short…I started hearing squeaking from my breaks and assumed that the same thing was happening again to my left break; thus my trip to St. George.  Well, I ended up not having a problem yet, my breaks are fine.  They were squeaking because they are the cheap parts.  The trip wasn’t a total waste though, I got to visit my friends and family again. :)

Well, I feel like I’ve caught you all up to speed.  The latter months of the year are always more eventful, having more holidays and all, so I plan on posting more frequently.
