Money, money, money…
So, what’s been going on for the past couple weeks has kept me offline away from any real updates. I spent one of my stretches of days off researching new world orders and the 9/11 hoax and that was eye opening. If you want something nice to watch, see http://zeitgeistmovie.com
Then, the following stretch, I took my car in to get it inspected and the horn fixed. It was meant to be a swell day where we’d walk to the bookstores and look around and just stroll around while the van was in the Triple A shop. It was swell and we got to look at quite a bit.
Then, I got my first phone call. The diagnostic on the horn would cost me 89.00 and the labor and parts totalled with that would take me near $300. Alright, whatever. I needed it done for inspection. The part must have come in and been replaced when I got my next phone call. They found that my power steering belt was weak and ragged so I would need another. I think we’re up to 357 now but it’s okay and one’s available in the shop.
Blah, blah, blah, we run to get a sandwich because we’re getting hungry. We get done and start strolling back to the shop and I give them a call. The tension arm that holds the belt shattered and now needs replaced. We went in and they showed me what had happened and proceeded to call all places within the area that they could. The soonest someone could get them the part I needed was the following morning. Just great, and more money added to my bill.
Good thing the water heater turned out to cost over $800 and I decided to continue going without one or I wouldn’t be able to afford this car thing. Most of it went on charge anyway.
I finally got the car back the next day near 1pm. They needed to order a different belt that fit the new tension arm and alternator properly. The car is inspected and I’m so done with it. It had better last for quite some time without a problem after this.
Maybe I’ll write a more upbeat post later on but, for now, this is as good as it gets. My eyes are weary.
