One after thee other....

One special day comes and goes, then there is the next.
Today is also a day for Qing and I to remember. Exactly five years ago, I wrote my first Letter to my now LaoPo. November 23rd 2007, I first saw her Profile and Photo's on Chnlove Website. The best thing I could have done, I did. Instead of sending "Only" a free Cupid Note, I send her a lenghty Letter. After a couple days, there was still no reply from Qing. That didn't shock me, as I  kept telling myself... that this Woman is taken already for certain. Well, to my surprise... the fourth day I did receive a reply. One with an apology for being late, can you imagine... she didn't owe me anything of sorts. It was the beginning of the beginning of a Friendship-Courtship-Relationship-Marriage, yes all in this order. What I have now, wasn't in any of my furthest/far-fetched dreams of mine. I could say, the ultimate happiness that a Couple could achieve.

All you need is Love!

... like the Beatles Song suggests, but then again... we do need more in our Life's!


Like this Photo shows...

one also needs to be Happy!

Well, I certainly have both of those in an seemingly never ending supply. All thanks to the most wonderful LaoPo, that I have with me now for exactly three (3) years to this day. November 21 2009 is when Qing and I were finally united after a year of Paperwork, Pain of being apart, fighting the US Immigration to get her Visa for a full year.

Having mastered all the hurdles that stood in our way, knowing that this day Nov.21st will come sooner or later and nothing will/can stop it!

Now in the three years that have passed, Qing and I (now Tianchi as well) are still stuck up in the "Honeymoon" phase! Ha-ha... are we complaining? Heck no... we're not crazy! We are just an ordinary Couple, that is everything... but "ordinary"!

The "Bee" is happy and so is the "Flower"! Plenty of "Honey" available in our Household and that is of course very "Sweet"!

So , thank you ***Sweetheart*** for making the Bee's life so much sweeter!

Are "You" being "Bugged"?

What kind of question is this... one might ask?

Well, it's not the kind you find outside in the Yard. Nore is it the kind that bothers you in your House/Home.

Come to think of it, this "Bug" isn't even an alive one at that. It does can get you quite upset and under your skin though! So the question now, how can this (not alive) Bug upset someone?

Actually, this kind of Bug... is just an expression so to speak. One we use in the Automotive field and lives under the hood or inside of your Car. This is where I come in and try to locate this Bug before it multiplies and the Bug becomes more little Bugs... ect. ect.

Of course I can't use "Raid" Bug spray, that would make me look un-Professional and would likely Generate quite some laughs from my fellow Mechanics. Heck, that would make me laugh as well!
Anyway, this is what I do... go and find the Bug/Bugs in and around your Car.

Sometimes this can be somewhat easy, as some "Bugs" do make a sound and are easy to locate. Others are silent Buggers and can hide very well, making my Job much more difficult. I'm up to that challenge, by using (not spray) Tools and Diagnostic Equipment to seek out them unwanted free Travelers/Hitchhikers. That down the Road, can cost "You" money... instead of them.

After finding and Dispose of them with none-infested parts, your lovely Car will thank me and I'm sure... so will you! Even if it means, emptying your Wallet to get this done! Good news though, if your as old as me and a Senior Citizen... I'll give you a nice Discount! Matter of fact, I'll make sure you'll have at least some Beer-money left... promise!  

Travel Fever is among us...

Being now well into Chapter 3 of my Book (somewhat 6500 words) and having just arrived in Germany (Mar.2007) after a 29 year obsence. It's giving me thoughts of going back with Qing&Tianchi as soon as next year, for a couple weeks.

This made me look into some Flights and when it is the most reasonable time to go. I came upon a Lufthansa Flight (only fly Lufthansa to Germany) non-stop for just $358 round trip, in late February/early March. Great I thought, but... yeah, here is the kicker! Fee's and Taxes added on brings that "Nice" Ticket price to $1,038! So, this of course feels like you are cheated somehow... somewhere. Especially when going to Asia (Shanghai) fee's are much lower... between $250-$300 per Ticket.

Travel fever will now cool down a little and concentrate more on Palmdale... oh joy!
