Took my car in for some regular service today. Was looking for an oil change, front brake pads, and to check out a noise I thought might be the CV joints. After some checking, and some conversation with my mechanic I ended up tacking on two new CV joints, transmission fluid flush, and new rotors. So I got rid of plenty of that pesky money that was clogging up my checking account.
It’s sort of a pain… but as my dad says “it’s just all part of owning a car”. No sense in getting cranky about it. It’s just one of those costs that come with driving.
On Twitter…
I’m completely addicted to Twitter. Observant readers will have already noticed that I’ve added a “Right Now…” section to the front page of my blog. This is a feed directly from twitter for up-to-the-minute updates on what I’m doing. I do really mean up-to-the-minute. That little bit of info never goes more than a few hours of awake time without being updated.
I can’t really explain what makes this so appealing to me… its just sort of fun. It’s like that mental release that a blog gives you, but in small regular doses. You don’t have to think out what your going to say. Since your limited to about 200 characters, you just have to say, as the site asks, what you doing right now.
Register and add me as a friend. You’ll even get my updates on your phone. 🙂
