Well indeed...
Drop B at work, Drop car at mechanics. Get cash for bus, get small Chai from starbucks (As that's the only thing from there I'll drink) to break the ATM20$ because the bank is not open. Walk up to bus stop, think for a second... meh - walk all the way home. It's about 20 happy city blocks. I think that's like 5 miles? I dunno, something like that anyways. 45 minutes later I walk in the door and make some lemonade.
Lo and behold I put newly made lemonade in freezer to make it cold fast and Mechanic Man calls. I have many issues. Right Front caliper is seizing, meaning it don't let go when it should (both calipers should be replaced at once, so two of those). It's ground the disc beyond repair so I need a new that. New break pads, new S-Belt (alternator belt, many cars have just one belt these days), machine left front break disc, oil change, rear breaks are OK but need to be cleaned badly.
When I dropped off the car I said "Well, you know if it all comes to 1500$ or less I'm pretty OK with that." ... total: less than 800$. (not a lot less, but more than the cost of the 3$ 12oz Chai ... three fucking dollars!! fuck you starbucks. fuck you a lot.)
That made my happy little morning.
That and the walk. If I'm going to keep walking around places I need to get myself a new tactical vest (or photographers vest if I get it khaki color, which I won't) . . . because it is a bit warm even for before 1000.
I'm off to enjoy my day off and get some stuff done.
