Armchair Calvinist posted:At this point I think I've replaced every mechanical, electrical, and suspension related component on my Volvo. My gimp suit has no eyes so I can only taste the turds perpetually flowing through my moist bankrupt lips. This but replace Volvo with Subaru. And I'm not finished fixing it yet, because it keeps. loving. breaking. in new and exciting ways.  My Volvos don't cost me anything, other than lost property value from just sitting there collecting dust.

Let's see, since buying the Fozzy 3 years ago, I have replaced: Engine Transmission Driveshaft Brakes (rotors, pads, and calipers) twice All four wheel bearings Radiator Alternator Both ball joints Engine and trans mounts Passenger door latch, it was fun driving around with that door ratchet strapped shut for a week A ton of little things I am forgetting It still needs: All four struts Suspension bushings (all of them) Shifter bushings Steering rack Possibly a rear diff? Exhaust Axles So, not as bad as Kastein's Jeep, but more than enough to make me want to set it on fire and walk away.

I get an hour for lunch at work, but most days don't have the money for food or just don't feel like eating. The stock-room (where I work out of) isn't air-conditioned and gets up to about 88-91f right around lunch time. Except for the back room, that is built into the hill. It stays around 78f or so, and nobody is around during lunch so I just lay on the concrete floor with a fan blowing on me and a packing blanket for a pillow. Bliss.

"Best drat Garage in Town", Smokey Yunick's autobiography, is a definite must read for AIers.

My 12 year old Calico was given a month to a year to live last year when her kidneys almost completely shut down. She's still active and happy but she's super skinny even though we give her all the canned food she wants. She stopped wanting to come inside a few weeks ago, I expect one day she'll just wander off into the woods and not come back. We've had her since she was only 2 weeks old, my mom bottle fed and carried her around in a pouch for several weeks until she was old enough.

I'm pretty sure I would literally die if the temperature hit 110+ here, but we also tend to have 70+ percent humidity which makes everything terrible. The humidity and I do not get along, anything above about 80f and I'll be sweating just sitting still. When I visited Vegas it was regularly 95-100f and I felt pretty good.

High blood pressure runs in my family, and as I've gotten older I've noticed that mine isn't as great as it once was. Gonna have to start giving up late night burgers

Windshield on the Corolla got loving destroyed on the way home tonight, I have no idea what I hit but it sounded big, guessing a bird of some kind. No chip, just a big loving impact spot with lots of fun spiderweb cracks.
