Vehicle maintenance is actually very straight forward once you've taken the time to learn to do it properly.
You save so much dough and it doesn't take a lot of time. Certainly much less than waiting hours for a dealership's servicing department to get around to your car to swap out a filter and rotate tires and charge you an exorbitant rate for what amounts to not much labour.
Even changing and inspecting brakes can get down to just an hour or two when you've got the hang of it.
Mind you it works for me because I bought a dependable vehicle that doesnt need a lot outside of regular maintenance. If you're driving a dodge or jeep with a reputation of things breaking down then you'll be taking it in regardless.
I’m going to have to sell my old Bronco (93) because it’s soon to be a money pit and I don’t have a place to store it.
But it is cool to work on as far as regular maintenance. You can practically sit in the engine. It’ll be a cool project for someone. It is hard to part with.
Crap. There was no way in hell I was going to go to the US with the orange moron is in charge. My son's team just won the provincial robotics comp in Fort Mac and is now going to Dallas for Worlds in May....

If you bring the robot in your carry on you won’t be allowed to board the plane, hell you might not even be allowed in the US ever again! Bonus points if it makes a ticking sound or if it has a digital clock on it.

Part of the competition should be having to ride the robot to Dallas.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

Did they do a music number with booger Presley and Poindexter on the violin?

Cancer, it took my mom today
Such a disgusting terrible suffering disease. On the bright I am so glad she free from it now. I was terrible to watch, lucky I was able to spend over month with family. I am out of town.

Very cool. Would love to here more about the robot or see a vid.

Well of course we would make the only white kid on the team check it in! lol

On the DIY: my garage door sensor stopped working. Google-fu explained what I should be seeing and gave a tip on fixing. A relatively easy fix but the wires were hair width. Did what I thought I needed to do, did not work. Took apart the other side, confirmed the wiring, re-did it. Would get the green light randomly flashing when I touched wires together. But would not stay lit. Made no sense. Then I moved my fat ####ing head out of the way of the beam...solid green. F. C. U. K. Typical 10 minute job took 45 minutes.
On the car repairs, our 2012 explorer is in need of some TLC. My buddies garage quoted $4700. The son of my wife's colleague has a driveway mechanic business. $2100. Very happy about that. And yes, it was way past a DIY for me. He had the top of the engine off and was in the very guts of it. As an aside, he was a 5 year Audi mech. He said stay away from any 4 cylinders but the TDI is bulletproof and he would buy one in a second.
This kind of bounced around a bit. Sorry.

Look. I dont care. I also dont want to guess where you're going. Did I mention the not caring part? Just say the whole name like a grown human being that has formalized their functioning brain cells and we can all just move along.

I am not a big skier, but if those don’t refer to Panorama and Kicking Horse, you might have a point.
They do, but for whatever reason it aggravates me. I have a friend that talks like that constantly and I want to shove his face into a snow drift until the frantic, panicked kicking stops!

How pedantic are we being here? I can't see somebody calling them 'Panorama Mountain Resort' or 'Kicking Horse Mountain Resort' being less annoying than 'Pano' or 'K-Ho.'

If that cuts you up, I suggest never visiting Australia.
