Yeah especially up north when brake lines disintegrate it's pretty common and scary actually.

So I'm stuck downtown after I lost my wallet a day and a half ago, slept in a bush, been panhandling and made enough to finally eat something. Going into day two of being sober, my phone is turned off, my rent assistance came back as declined despite psych recommending it for continuation, my cash assistance and food stamps are ending this month because I missed a letter saying I had an interview I needed to do. My parents called and said they were going broke taking care of my grandmother in her final says and any Avenue of assistance from them was now over. I got two non running cars, and I'll be on the street in two months. It's 3:30am and I'm sitting on the Blade downtown because I missed the last bus to ballard and my knee went out

Yeah but that isuzu taught me I'm done loving wrenching on anything that isn't mine. I was going to offer my KRL722 box and cart on Craigslist as want to trade for RV so I have a place to keep Rosie. Shes literally the only reason I'm trying to get home, the rest of it I'm walking away from. I've slept with a palmed blade the last two days for safety for a couple hours at a time. But the people of the street nod at me as I walk by. I finally blend in. I belong out here.

So why are you still in Seattle? There is literally nothing keeping you there - unless pain, brokenness, and misery are your actual goals in life. In that case, you've hit the jackpot.

 Found a huge box of chargers, cables, headphones etc next to the Holgate Goodwill dumpsters, including some Sennheiser ear buds I'm keeping for myself. ....Ballard is south of the Stadiums, right?

A goon angel picked me up at the king metro transit center looking for my lost wallet. No dice. Gave me a ride home, bought me breakfast, and is out fixing the red bug so I can get a nap. I'm considering his offer of contacts working fishing boats out of Alaska for the summer.

Careful, Alaska is tough. The first person you'll meet will be the flight attendant, the second will be the Dutch Harbor drug dealer. If you get onto a clean boat, you'll have no choice but to sober up.

Are there any clean boats? I worked cargo up there and all I heard about was drugs and knife fights.

Dude just go to nebraska or colorado or somewhere that it's not cloudy all the time and where you don't know all the meth dealers. Seriously life's great out in the continental west and there are places that are warmer than nebraska too. Colorado has so many crazy old trucks out in fields, you could sell yourself as the guy that gets them going.

Maybe you'll end up on that crab fishing show, impress the producers and convince them to give you your own show. I know I'd watch "gently caress This loving Car!!" The 14 Inch Chronicles. Seriously dude I hope you get a break, the god of octane seems to have it in for you at the moment. I know you don't want to leave Rosie with your folks again but a safe place for her while you get yourself sorted out may not be all that bad.

BraveUlysses posted:i did that once, was going to take it back to costco to warranty it and dropped it 6", landed on the corner and cracked it off You managed to find something Costco wouldn't accept a return on? That's impressive. So uh, now that you're out two cars? What's the odds of selling the Beetle to get the Civic running? I mean, I know it's not ideal, but you've got to get out of there somehow, and you're going to need at least one car.
