I went to the Birmingham International Car Show and is was okay!

Nissan did not have their 2009 370 Z but they did have a GT-R with the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Ford had the Intruder or something like that (left picture) and the ugliest car in the whole show with the Air Stream (middle picture).  The last picture is the most expensive cheap plastic looking piece on a car, which is on the Corvette ZR1 around $110,000.

I think that my favorate car was the 1968 Shelby Cobra which cost $5263.03 new.

Of course the stupid Jags were locked like no one has ever seen a Ford Taurus before?  I did like the super gay blue beacon that flashed in the car though (left picture).  The next car reminded me of something from the 70s in the interior, very weird and had lots of shiny chrome.

Time for the weep system

I connected my Dixmor DX-1000 Weep Mizer to my new Jim Coleman equipment.  The second picture shows how the hose is connected to the pump.  The next picture shows the solenoid connected to city water pressure.  Last picture is the solenoid power and constant power supply.

Water Wizard Preparation – Asphalt

Using the pickaxe I was able to get large chunks of asphalt after I cut with my Hitachi dry cut masonry saw CM 4SB2.

I broke my 2.5 pound pickaxe, sawed my saws cord and sawed my extention cord.

So I had to purchase a 5 pound pickaxe, which I bent somehow, but I completed my mission today.

Water Wizard Preparation – Asphalt

I cut out about a 4 foot by 16 foot square with my grinder and blade (DeWalt XP Diamond blade (DW4701)) today.  The asphalt is about 1 1/2 inches thick.

I did not complete very much today but my grinder was over heating and I think maybe my pickaxe would really help more then a hammer or my hammer drill.
