What's Going on with Everyone's Lives

I also fill it out with YouTube. I pay the premium amount for no commercials either. Last time I checked it was $7 a month which I consider it super bargain.

I started paying for youtube just to watch Cobra Kai season 1 and did not expect to be swayed so easily by having no ads ever. For that matter, I'm utterly shocked it's been that long. I got the corresponding spinal tingling and reassured myself that I don't miss the money.

Ironically I just had my car break down on the highway an hour from home and had to get a tow, won't learn anything until tomorrow. Could be minor, could be looking for a new vehicle tomorrow.

What happened? Sounds, smells?

Started rattling and the engine's RPM dial started swinging like a metronome so pulled over ASAP. No noticable smell, no fluids leaking. Passed inspection a month ago.

That's called surging.

Could be anything as simple as a vacuum leak which is a literal $5 fix if you find it, or various sensors. Honestly shouldn't be too expensive.

But knock on wood.

Vacuum leak plus spark plugs needed replacement. Cost more than I make in a week but nowhere near as catastrophic as I was expecting.

Depending on how much you make in a week that could either be a bargain or a ripoff. Both of those shouldn't be that expensive even with hours calculated in.

I got slammed for labor. Never going to Goodyear again.

Not my usual place but Triple A doesn't tow there for some reason.

Oh yeah don't use them. You could have done better with Midas or Meineke for the mainstream ones.

What you need to do is find a good mechanic. Just go to the small ones, get a feel for it. All you have to do is ask for an oil change. See how they are. If they are good, it will take less than hour. And that is it. If they push for something, then they are not it.

Going to a sex ed trivia night for charity at a local brewery. That should be fun.

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

It was fun, although the chairs could have been better.

Just woke up from a nightmare that drew heavily from the TNG episode Night Terrors. It had Pulaski instead of Crusher, and the scene with all the corpses got way worse and went on way longer. *shudder*

I completed the first week of my new job! I think it might *knocks on wood* actually work out for me.

Cong rats! Though I suggest doing some work out by and for yourself, too.

One more share of Nvidia then I'll stop investing like a drug addict.
