What a freaking week. An expensive, painful and barely satisfying week. First of all the car, the pain in the ass one little problem after another car. If it wasn't for the roommate letting me borrow his Subaru to get around to work and what not I'd be in some real trouble so THANK YOU SO MUCH Scott you're a life saver. So what was wrong with the car that it took like what two almost three weeks to fix? To start off with the first problem the Ignition. I already posted about that part in last weeks review. But on top of that the Alternator went out again (Now on it's at least 7th alternator) and replaced that under warranty along with one cut spark plug wire. That was fixed but the car was still tossing a CEL at me which turned out to be the Idle Air Control valve. I tried just cleaning it but nope it was bad. So that was another part replaced. After messing around with that and cleaning the MAF the car is FINALLY running correctly again. I was thinking about it the other day too and I think I should replace the O2 sensor as well because that probably hasn't been changed in years. But that'll be some time later though. I also have to fix a wire that I accidentally pulled out. Turns out to be a turn signal wire so I really need to fix that before I get another ticket for failure to signal speaking of which...
I fought the law and the law won... I did go to court on Thursday all prepared to fight the ticket and what not but guess what. First you have a pre-trial meeting with the DA to decide what you want to do and work out any type of deal (for an infraction it's no deal pay the full price have a nice day). Then next you go before the judge to plead either not guilty or to ask for a court date. That's right you have to go to court to get another court date for an actual trial. Anyways talked to the DA to look at my odds of winning and they were so fractionally small plus with having to spend another day going to court I was like fuck all that shit I don't have time for this and paid the stupid ticket just to be done with it. The only good thing about that is that day I slept pretty good and got a full eight hours of sleep.
The last thing about this week is that I went out to my Uncle's place and picked up a bunch of reloading stuff of my grandpa's so that I can now reload my own ammo. I might want to look at picking up some new reloading manuals but that can wait I think for now but I will need to pick up some powder along with some bullets for the .38 special. That and I need some bolts to actually attach the press to the shelves out in the garage or something.
Well that's it for that horrible expensive week and here's to looking forward to a better week next week and until then stay safe and enjoy life as much as you can.
