boobies ROCK!
so
i’m really tired right now. i need this is month
to end! and it’s only just begun! my 4runner
just got taken in for its service today.
actually, two services. missed the 90k service,
and now it’s due for the 130k as well. how much?
well, let’s just say that it’s going to cost a
lot. $1200 a lot. and if that’s not bad enough,
our other vehicle is totally crapping out on us
right now (1995 ranger). just had the tranny
rebuilt in December, and now the thing was just
in because the fluid looks like doggy-doo again,
and the shift cable needs replacing at $200, and
the mlps sensor is bad as is the overdrive
button, which the mechanic plainly said that we
don’t want to know how much that is. this truck
is a gaw-dam money pit, ok? i mean, bought for
$6,000, put in a new tranny, had 2, count them 2
audio systems stolen, back window had seal give
way which soaked the interior lining, had to
replace two, count them two windows from audio
thefts, have rebuilt the tranny and replaced
u-joints, and now the shift cable, o/d button,
&mlps sensor... and to top it off, when we
do trade it in or sell it for a toyota tundra,
we’ll be lucky to get $2,500 for it. do the
math.
and we’re leaving on a road trip this friday to the
eureka area to find out some info, such as housing
prices and condition, renal prices, proximity, job
market... oh, and this one place i know makes a
fabulous grilled steak that is just to die for, and i
figured that a 10-hour drive is so worth it.
and all this really sucks as far as timing is
concerned. the service counts against this month’s
budget, as does the shift cable; i have to smog the
4runner this month and we both have to register our
vehicles this month, and then there’s the road trip
as well, however much that costs. plus, add in the
fact that we’ll be gone from town and work for the
week, so we’ll take in almost nothing, and it equals
a red red red month. d’oh!
so from here to move-out time, it’s totally
penny-pinching all the way. man, i could use some
extra cash. maybe i can sell my body on the streets
or something. is there a market for that? eh, maybe
i’ll just put some more effort into the prodigital
pages and promotion. eh. work, eh...
Peace.
