The cold weather killed my car battery. Still showing 12.5 volts but ain't got dick for amps. Borrowed my dad's car charger and got it hooked up now.

Well a merry gently caress you, too. Felt like poo poo after class and assumed it was just lack of sleep, came back home and intended on napping for like two hours. Woke up after an hour with my guts in the middle of a vigorous tumble cycle, a spastic five year old playing with my body's thermostat, and I can't remember where in my poo poo I've got a thermometer stashed. Aaaaaand my final's on Thursday.

What does it show while running? If it's not about 14.5 or so, get it tested by a real machine at a parts store because it's probably hosed.

15 degrees tomorrow. I'm gonna wake up around 10 am to start my day off right by pounding through two pots of coffee and dragging my rear end to class and then back home.

Only a year old so gonna be a little pissed if it's on the way out but that's the next step. Tomorrow's a light class day (and my number of fucks given is about negative this year) so if it doesn't start then oh well. Take the day off and get it checked out. No engine lights so don't think the alternator is an issue, it has been getting slowly weaker as the cold ramped up and most of my driving is only 15-20 minutes to class. Hoped I was just draining it and the cold finished it off. Got it started yesterday and drove an hour each way to my dad's to pick up the charger suspecting this might happen and as a backup measure. Started up fine when I got back last night as a test, this morning wouldn't even turn over.

Here's a lesson I learned a few years back. If it's winter and you think your car battery is about to go, just get it replaced. Even if things improve after it warms up again. I had that going on with in my car which never struggles to start even in -40 weather but ignored it, and it stopped doing that once it warmed up. Then spring rolled around and my battery was just flat dead one morning. Hit it with the charger to get it started, parked it at work, tried to start it after a couple seconds of it being off, completely dead. Jumped it again at lunchtime and drove straight to Sears. We've had some pretty cold nights, -10 to -18 and thereabouts. Surprisingly it hasn't killed any drunk people yet. A couple years ago they found a guy who had been reported missing, dead under some random person's porch a month after the fact.

I'm having my house's 20 year old water heater replaced this week as a precautionary measure. Anyone want to share their story of a catastrophic failure so the hit to my wallet hurts a bit less?

It could always be worse!

He got brand new hardwood floors outta the deal from insurance, and upgraded to a tankless water heater. My water heater is in the attic of this 3 story home. And is as old as I am. I'm getting all new everything when that thing goes. Can't wait for Jewish lightning to strike twice in our family Its all I got for you man.

My water heater is in the garage. Only thing the water would damage is some random crap that I give no fucks about. I do want to swap it out for a tankless heater tho.

Wood working isn't really my thing but I am absolutely getting into metal working once I am not renting and have a workshop area. All the normal stuff like welding and various hand tools. Not sure I can get away with anything bigger than that but I may just accept the marital trouble and get a decent press and drill anyway. I took a blacksmithing class so that's definitely going to happen as well because it as fun as poo poo.

Should be doable then for either kind. But I still have other poo poo I need to do before blowing money on that.

New Suicide Squad trailer premiered tonight. The production crew filmed shot some visual effect plates in Chicago. The scene with the helicopters is flying right past my office, but all they kept was the bridges and immediate surrounding area. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmRih_VtVAs

I dunno. I think putting it up about the same time as Batman v Superman is brilliant marketing. By trailer comparison, Suicide Squad looks like it will be downright watchable.
