How many roads
So I have been having a busy week or so.
last weekend I did not get the harry potter I did have a 20 minute conversation with a hogwarts student. I went to a Kareoke contest where J was competing and won second place. Since crowd participation was heavily weighed I think he was robbed. His song was Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy.
Then came the fundraiser bbq. I got a lot of sun and managed to get lost twice driving. it was a good day for the extra driving anyway. warm sunny and a bit of breeze so it wasn't too hot. BBQ was good, There were hot dogs, hamburgers, brownies and mountain dew to drink. I ended up watching Ly for a bit while her mom played baseball. I didn't win any of the other contests but it was a very nice day. Things shut down at about 7 or so. I still don't know how much money was raised but there did seem to be a good turnout.
I was giving KK a ride home, feeling a bit tired and dehydrated, so I insisted on stopping at 7eleven for a slurppee. Caffeine and sugar and liquids are good things. So after aquiring these things we go to leave when suddenly my brakes go mushy. This is not a good thing. After some basic detective work and a phone call, I check the parking brake and then pop the hood to check the brake fluid levels. [could not find brake fluid check stick, still have no idea where it is] It does become clearly apparent that we are low on brake fluid due to it making a escape/leaking out the back. More phone calls are made. J arrives and attempts to tape up the leak, but it doesn't work, the holes are too big. Thank you for trying J.
A random tow truck shows up. "Thank you um, No." What? Paranoid? Me?
So M and C arrive. Thank you's to them for driving us. We decide to tow the car in the morning, and I shall camp at KK's for the night. After watching wild boys[?] a movie which was neither bad nor good, and eating some popcorn I crash out on the couch. Sadly this only lasts a couple hours, my headache and a very awake cat conspire to prevent more than napping. But I am determind in my sleeping so nap I do, till it is time for towing the car in to the garage. After dropping off the car I crash again. happily the headache has broken so much better sleeping/naps.
I awake again when the garage calls to explain that my brake lines are rusty bits of metal held together through sheer will and contrariness and when they pull out the leaking one, it will rip apart two more that have united in solidarity and rust. I make pained noises at the cost and tell them to fix it anyway. Helpfully my credit card has increased my limits once more. [though they never randomly lower my intrest rate. bastards.]
Chr is in town and kidnaps Kk and I for most of the day. A very contientous Kidnapper. A thank you to him and Kk for all the help with transportation that day. Finally fixed I take my car home with the additional admonishment to not do panic stops or I'll need to replace the other brake lines very very very very soon.
