The Locksmith Episode

04 May 2009


I'm completely sick to my stomach. Yesterday I went over to a coworkers house and for the first time locked my keys in my car. I didn't have a backup key and my grand theft auto skills failed me miserably. So, I made the move and called a locksmith. This guy got it open in a total of 1 minute and no effort using a inflatable wedge and a metal rod. He then said that he couldn't take credit cards on weekends and would only except cash. The total bill came to $150. Nothing pisses me off more than getting scammed and knowing it. The good news is that I now know how to prevent this. First, shop around and only pay what you're willing to. Second, have an extra key. Last, punch that guy in the throat the next time I see him. There is no way he sleeps well at night. Ranting accomplished.

New Toys

01 March 2008

Well I officially have all of my new set of clubs minus my Scotty Cameron. A Titleist D2 driver with a Fujikura Zcon x-stiff shaft, a 904f 18.5 degree, 21 degree Titliest hybrid, and Titleist AP1 irons, all with Project X 6.0 shafts. So far, I love them. The driver is deffinately a step up from their previous models. Also, a little birdie told me a new series of woods are coming out towords the end of the summer, and Titleist is implementing a composite wood for the first time. You can also expect another triangle/square shaped head.

My other new toy is a new car. My 1992 Chrysler LeBaron decided to blow a transmission, so I got a new car. Its a 2005 Suzuki Aireo. So far I like it and hope it continues to perform well. Currently it gets 31 miles per gallon, which is huge considering the rise in gas prices. I will give a detailed review of the car in about a month.
