dolariI woke up much too early from a bad sleep. I heard the UPS truck drive up, so I lied in bed waiting for the knock on the door. It never came. I heard the guy walk up my stairway, then walk right back down. When I opened the door, there was a "delivery attempted" sticker on my door and a very embarrassed delivery guy looking at me.
It's STILL not the MREs I ordered last week. I'm getting a bit antsy about the delivery (no tracking number provided :P ) but they should be here Thursday, I'm hoping.
My truck was ready so I walked to the mechanic (he offers free rides! I didnt know that!) who showed me all the rigamarole he did to fix the truck. About five years ago, The blinker stick, which controls the wipers and bright lights, broke. My dad said he'd fix it (::SIRENS BLARE::) and got someone to do a half-assed job of it. Everything worked on it, but the stick it self was VERY loose, and to go from regular lights to brights, you had to really pull back on the stick.
Well, the stick broke again about a month ago...but everything still worked if you just "plugged" the stick in. What the mechanic had told me was that the switch going from regular lights to bright had worn out from all that pulling and was now stuck between lights and brights. Which is off.
It's all working now. The stick is really in there tightly, pulling back for the bright lights actually goes CLICK without any real pulling, and the wipers....well...we'll find out when I buy a new 25A fuse. :)
YEs, I've said Stick and Yank 20 times. Stop laughing.
I ran off to the PO Box while I could and got all my mail. I got a gift from Nathan (rock) a set of skin creams Dean had ordered and...an extra copy of Robotech Invasion for the PS2. I didn't order that. I ordered ONE, yeah...but not two. Anyone want a copy?
Many thanks to everyone who helped donate some cash for the upcoming budget crunch. I owe you big. I'll write ya'll a nice Email in the morning. :)
