So I got up bright and early today, beautiful day sunshine, blue skies a perfect day to spend installing a complected 6 speaker external amplified sound system in the car.
I had made sure I had everything I would need for the task at hand, all tools, wires, components and assorted bits and pieces ready to be seamlessly connected up in a show of home handyman auto electrical wizardry, what could possible go wrong.
So confident was I in my abilities that I decided that a couple of drops of liquid lsd dropped straight on to the toung would only make the whole experience more satisfying and enjoyable.
WRONG !!!
I had got as far as installing the six speakers, running all the wiring back to the dashboard and only had to strip 16 ends or wire, hook the whole thing up and I would be listening to pink floyd at 200 watts.
That's when the acid kicked in hard, I spent about an hour trying to strip the wires, a good 40 minutes of that hour were spent sitting on the floor of the carport surrounded by wires, tools and electrical tape laughing hysterically.
Then as the second wave came on I had a rush of energy just as I was stripping a wire and proceeded to smash myself in the face with the pliers, a blinding white flash, complete shock and disorientation as my hands had moved faster than my vision so I hadn't seen it coming.
Luckily my nose took the brunt of it or i could have lost a tooth.
If you are laughing stop it now, it's not funny.
In the 10 minutes it took to stop hurting the acid hit me with full electric steaming visuals, like green and red shafts of light flickering as the sunlight came through the coconut palms in the driveway, I had a coffee and a smoke and tried to regain some kind of composure when I saw the funny side of the whole idea of attempting to install this stupid stereo while tripping, it just cannot be done, not without major hilarity.
I looked at the clock, was only t +2.00 and the acid was starting to ramp right up, I abandoned the carport and headed for the hammock, A joint will settle me down a bit i thought, (why do I think adding more drugs will help ?), it seemed like a good idea at the time.
T+3.30, gather myself together a bit and return to the job at hand, force myself to straighten up a bit and finish taping all the connections and power the beast up.
We have lights, we have a message.."Welcome to JVC".. that's nice, I'm excited now, good heavens I think its gonna work, slip in a pink floyd cd, turn it up to about half way and sit back in the seat....
One channel out of six is working, I start searching though the connections, there are wires everywhere now, trying to work out what i've done wrong, the acid is back, no no no, this is a joke, my nose still hurts, I'm being eaten alive by mosquitoes, my wife is hassling me for the car and Im just a confused giggling bleeding mess.
It took 4 hours and about 30 cigarettes to finally get it sorted out, And If I ever sell the car and someone else ever looks behind the dash at the wiring they are gonna be in for a huge surprise.
I'll never look behind there again.
T+ 10 now and pretty much chilling out, nose just a bit sore, ribs ache from laughing at myself for 6 hours, a great way to kill the last day of the year.
Now to have a bit of a snooze before the serious business of celebrating new years eve gets underway.
party hard bluelighters, have a ripping good new year.
