Only got one storm here - I just shut the doors and carried on. Unfortunately i'm only half

Check it and check it carefully! Mine would have been paid off a number of years ago except that when I first started working hmrc lost all my payments for 3-4 years (until I noticed) and then it took months to sort it out and they still didn't get it right.

Congratulations! I felt great clearing mine the other year.

So I've been ill on and off for about 6 weeks and it's made me shamefully weak. Changing the oil in the panda (all 2.8l of it) and investigating crappy handbrake in the wife's car has left me feeling like I've just done a couple of days hard labour. Crappy body, why did you forsake me? After I fed you whiskey too you bastard.

Hope you start feeling better soon!

My sister got a Panda recently too. I just 3D printed a new bracket to hold its clutch fluid reservoir which the PO had snapped off and left dangling. My dad bought the car cheap and I think a shite clutch was one of the reasons!

I remember having a tiny plastic clip from my old car's air filter snap off and fall into the engine compartment. I called Toyota about getting a replacement part and they said I'd need to pay $200 for the entire assembly.

Plan A was to scan in and print out a copy of the other clip.

However I could see the clip, so I bought a pack of chewing gum and grabbed a coat hangar. I felt like MacGuyver (the 80s one with the mullet) fishing that clip out successfully on the first try.

However if it was filmed I'd make sure the first attempt and second attept failed, and with gritted teeth and nervous sweat managed to snag it on the third attempt. With increasingly dramatic music.

There were surpsingly few cars like that at local junkyards still too new probably however I could have snagged it from a similar Honda.

Or just used plenty of duct tape and wire.

Can't even drink water without having it come right back out. Slept maybe 2 hours last night. Of course I catch it right in time for the weekend...

And the smells, oh god the smells.

If you can't keep down water for a while you should go to the doctor / hospital so you don't get dehydrated.

Definitely ring and check, I did and I rang on the month they took the last payment, the lady I spoke to said it's not unusual for the system to continue taking payments indefinitely and getting money back can sometimes be quite difficult. I ended up waiting 3 months to get about £40 refunded but I wasn't trying too hard.

Yes, it only gets reevaluated once a year as standard, and that's usually about the summer, once your tax records from the end of the financial year in April have burped through and they've worked everything out.

I basically allowed mine to roll on semi-deliberately when I reached the point of having paid it off, as it was simply easier than trying to dick about with it, and I knew I'd get the excess (it was about £160) back in the end.

It's not, but it'll be next week at least for a court to smack it down, and meanwhile those people are stuck out of the country, ie not at their jobs, making money to pay their rent and bills, and separated from any US family.

Most things can be undone in the courts or in the next Congress, but the real concerns are his complete lack of anything other than self-aggrandizement as the default face he puts out. I actually fail to see how this will pan out for any American, let alone the world. The House races in two years will be an absolute loving hoot, though.

I just spent an hour or so solving the riddle for the Jindosh Lock on the mansion in Dishonored 2. A logic puzzle involving 5 ladies with 5 Heirlooms, from 5 countries, wearing 5 colors, drinking 5 alcohols at 5 places at the table. The matrix to solve it was pretty good sized, and I'm out of practice with that type of puzzle, but I got it right, without resorting to help, in game or internet. There was an achievement for doing it without learning the answer elsewhere in game, it turns out. Go me! Just felt like I wanted to exercise my brain - it's been too long since I worked a puzzle like that. Felt good!
I'm enjoying Dishonored 2 but for some reason it isn't drawing me in as much as the original did on my first or even second play through. Just finished the clockwork soldier guys mansion level and still no kills, bodies found or being detected. Kind of tempted to start a full chaos run for a change of pace and see if I enjoy it more.

Rearranged garage again so I can get back to working on the race car. Made a little progress on the new front control arm bushings then smashed the poo poo out of my hand so moved over to wiring for a bit. Need to spend most of the day tomorrow working on it now that I have time.

Just got home from a nice night in the pub to find my kitchen exceedingly moist.

I now wonder if my microwave might have gone bang on Tuesday because the combi boiler that is on the wall above it had been dripping on it. While I was out tonight the drip obviously got much more serious.

Looks like tomorrow will start with a boiler stripping session. Its a good job I hadn't got round to fitting any new kitchen units yet. Hopefully water damage will aid the removal!
