FUN W/ BOB

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.
