Jesus Built my Hotrod

Rust is one surly ass bitch. Took me a good half hour to sand down just the tailpipe section of my exhaust. That's roughly half a foot of something like half-inch pipe. Using some fancy maths, that comes out to 9.14 square inches of surface area (one side... I can't get inside of the pipe). That's 18 square inches an hour. I know snails that can make better time than that.

As always, I digress. Tomorrow night will involve many hours of spraying down the underside of my truck to get the years of mud cleaned off. Hopefully I can get to cleaning up more of the rust and get the frame protected. It appears as though I need to find some rust protection that's safe for the exhaust, but I haven't come across anything yet.

On the upside, the fresh coat of scratch remover and wax has given the paint a burts of new life. I should borrow someone's camera and get some pictures when it's all cleaned up and the new shocks are on (that's another month away still).

So, basically, it's a love affair. Mainly jesus and my truck.

Oh... before I forget. I had a moment of clear headedness today and managed to come up with a system for loading video and audio modules that may just work for me. It's similar to a plugin system I came up with last year that I had fun with, but it's a bit more object oriented, which is always an exciting upgrade. I wish I could buckle down and get some real work done on that, but it's been hard to feel inspired since the semester ended.
