I'm not mad at the tech, he is just trying to save me some money, I know the battery shouldn't be bad, the car is a 2013. loving vw, I guess this is what we get for winning ww2.

Would they actively try to kill you, or would it be the smarter way of slowly draining your wallet, but giving you features you want, but never work correctly?

I decided to disburse myself of some projects so I can focus on one, so my 63 VW project is for sale.  I'll put together an AI Marketplace ad too. I'm not really bummed as much as I really should buy projects that require less body work.

Got a #1 cyl misfire in Cheby before I replaced plugs and wires. It must have had old gas or been fed leftover naptha. Cleared error, replaced wires and some rather old plugs. That 5.7L Vortec loves 87 octane, but runs all day on 85.5 with no complaints (only found in less-desirable-than-711-will-build-here locations. Put a few hundred miles on it this week. If it was a 2x4, I'd probably keep it. As it is, may keep it through the winter to haul stuff (hopefully out).Adiabatic posted:They still have sweet guitar riffs but it's like once every 10 minutes interspersed with some dude literally standing and talking about a little kid opening letters.

Honestly they're lucky the extent of the burning has so far been limited to the love letters. I pitched the storage unit idea at the mom because if Im supposed to have any sort of peace I need to stop staring at all her stuff every second I'm home. Kinda hope they decide itll be too costly to move te bed and couch though because god drat they comfy. Plus th whole I threw my bed out to make room part.

So I work at a Toyota stealership, and sometimes I have to cover the receptionist's breaks. The amount of phone calls I've taken that went something like "Yes, hi, I'd like to schedule an appointment for service, my tire light came on and they need to be filled up" is...disheartening.

My '64 Chevy is sitting in the driveway under four feet of snow. It won't fit in the garage, as my dads el Camino and skylark have taken up residence in my garage. I rent my grandparents old house from my parents. The past few years I had the Chevy and my dd impreza in the garage for winter. You'd think they'd knock a few bucks off rent for losing the two car garage during a MI winter. Although judging by the recent poo poo in this thread I don't have any reason to bitch. But I will anyway, because thirsty Wednesday owns.

Wow..no offense meant at all 13", but drat..your life is reading as depressing as gently caress, yet you keep on out of a seeming cussedness for giving no shits..keep on keeping on dude, removing her and her things from your life is the only thing you can do.. So our staff meeting regarding our grievances was cancelled last minute last Friday. The rest of the staff and I all participated in an impromptu meeting of our own though..boss said that we were in danger of being written up for insubordination for all "conspiring together". The new meeting is scheduled for Dec 1st at 2PM. I get off work no earlier than 9AM, will be asleep no earlier than noon..won't be able to get back to sleep before 5PM if I'm lucky and will have to be back here at 11PM that night. This job is rapidly becoming not worth the extra headaches caused by lovely supervision, uncaring regulations and horrible pay. (I know the feels of more and more responsibilities being foisted on you yet having things like sick time, paid time off and holiday bonuses taken away) gently caress the mental healthcare bullshit in this country. We found out we won't be getting our holiday bonuses this year. For the first time ever. Between my wife and I, that's over three hundred dollars lost for the holidays. I'm starting to look around for something else. It's hard to find something that I can work with my limited use of my left hand. But maybe I need to suck that poo poo up and just try harder. Because this poo poo is starting to follow ALL of us home and this chickenshit company isn't worth that. Tl;dr: One employee not doing his job, lying on his timesheets and doing blatantly illegal poo poo and not being held accountable for it is causing 4 of my female coworkers and I to seriously contemplate filing Hostile Work Environment grievances. gently caress Not-For-Profit (in name only) community based residential mental health services! No only could a client stab you in the face, your bosses will stab you in the back while you're on the ground dying!

I had more luck with getting a relationship from tinder than on an actual dating site. I'm done with dating for a while though because it has put too big of a dent in the finances. Back to the safety of drinking beer alone in front of the glow of a computer screen for a while.

Day and a half lost trying to fix the vehicle from yesterday. Almost positive that there is damage to the ground for some EL inverters which is somehow causing them to generate noise which is being picked up by the intercom. I can't say I understand how that happens but I've laid a second intercom harness in the vehicle and connected it to it's own battery. It all works fine until the inverters are powered up.

Trip report: New battery is awesome, and it starts the car sooooo fast compared to the old one. I think the old one was just surface charging, and putting it on a charger for a day didn't help, so glad I got a new battery. Today needs to be over already. I just got to work and I'm so bored. There is gonna be a lot of posts from me today.

I used to just put air in my tires whenever my TPMS light came in. Turns out, I actually had a bad TPMS sensor, which is probably why it kept turning on. I know this is a little late but I never understood the appeal of the Trans Siberian Orchestra. I like rock and I like classical, just not together.

It's looking like my 12 mile commute isn't long enough for the TPMS to do its thing and alert that it can't communicate with the senors (my winter wheels don't have any). I might be able to go all winter without the light coming on.
