Steering Knobs, CB's, & Stickshifts

Two new additions to the car... A second hand CB from my Dad and a New Steering knob for my wheel. Wow! What a difference it makes.

So this morning I tried the knob out.. turning left then right then left again. The steering stayed the same, but I had way more control to steer with my left and shift with my right. Ole' German town road felt way easier when I could make those quick 3rd to 4th shifts while steering around the curves (safely I might add).

The CB was a groovy addition too. Cruising for the 10-15 min on I-5 I got hardly nothing over the CB. I realized that it was the fact that the antenna that I bought was inside the car sitting in the back. I guess I felt self-conscious with a big ole antenna stick'n up on top of my roof, but w/o that thing I wasn't gett'n the s&*t talk from the truckers.. I decided on Interstate Dr. to pull over and put that thing up top. Like an instant change, that radio lit up and truckers from all around piped in. I was hot and rar'n to go. I actually can't wait to get out on the 5's today just to hear the truckers.

Speaking on which, I start my sailing classes at LC today so from work I head over to learn all about sailing! Woot! I'm excited. Hopefully I'll learn something worth sharing on the blog....

I'll stop there! Looks like a good start to a great day!
