Ate my breakfast this morning, began making a sandwich to take to work for lunch... and then immediately ate it without thinking. Made a replacement sandwich to take for lunch and then left for work without it. Not a good day for sandwiches. So distracted.

At least you dont have to make a sandwich when you get home.

I'm feeling rough today...

Did something stupid when loading the MX6 on the trailer yesterday and it ended up hitting me in the face then rolling over me. (Not like...over over me, it was an open middle auto transport.)

But i'm still nicely bumped, scraped, and bruised. Feel like i broke something in my hand.

But then it's a warm counter sandwich. Those aren't very good.

So you're saying that you got "f2t'd"?!

Or as someone who has worked on more than one turbo L-body Chrysler product, that sounds like the typical feeling after a headmaster repair on those little bastards. The larger K-based jobs are practically cavernous in comparison. berkeleying heater core and other screws manage to find the backs of your hands at every turn,.

Seriously why did they leave so many sharp edges exposed on L bodies?

I feel like I'm coming down with something. Sore Throat for 2 days, headache, stuffy, achy, I sound like a NyQuil commercial.

put new front brakes on roadmonster. hoses, calipers, rotors, pads. ordered speed bleeders so i could do it myself, since the motive pressure bleeder master kit has nothing that fits the biggest rectangle gm master cylinder reservoir. realize parts store calipers came with 2 differently sized bleeder screws, one factory and one 2 sizes smaller. bleed LF caliper easily, bleed right by pumping pedal, jamming a pipe against the seat to hold pressure, getting out and cracking bleed screw, repeat 10 times. on the last pump up, front hard line pops.

go to store, get all new front lines, re-plumb it. girl gave me the wrong union. go back, get correct one, come home, finish lines, then go through the same stupid bleeding ritual jamming the pipe against the seat. decide that the dry rotted tires aren't good enough to last a few weeks and start process of borrowing wheels off my impala. pop rear caps off, realize i've never had them off before and PO had locks on them, and i don't have the key. luckily those damaged lugnut sockets work like a charm or i'd have been so pissed off words could not have described it.

They're cheap cars, built and designed poorly with not much care. Think of them as the Mitsu Zero of their the sport-compact wars.

The car likes to find new and interesting ways to injure me.

As for the rest... one day you'll have to see the car in person. You'll giggle at the amount of room that's just... EVERYWHERE.

My morning from yesterday started when I woke up with a headache and a strain in my neck. I then went out to find the 911 with a dead battery. Not a big deal, I look at it as my version of the tire change in A Christmas Story. I can have it jumped in less than 3 minutes. I was working on a new personal best and when I went to open the DS door the trigger on the handle broke. I mean broke where I couldn't open the door from the inside or the outside. Awesome, I then bashed my head loading things in the Jeep. When i finally got to work I found out that I can't just get the trigger part I have to get a new/used whole handle. Great.

But at least it's not herpes...

I forgot my sleep/anti migraine meds at home. I sorta need those. Especially at work. Strangely I slept the best I ever have st work. I passed out watching machete kills. TMobile hates me and my data usage.

Got to work early this morning, traffic wasn't bad.

Boss was quiet, best way for him to be.

Got to my office/shop to find that IT had installed a new computer for me while I was gone Thursday, yay!

Attempt to log on to new computer and it won't recognize my credentials, boo.

First world problems, I'm having to post this from my iPhone.

You'll need to log in to post.
