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.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s sort of a pain&#8230; but as my dad says &#8220;it&#8217;s just all part of owning a car&#8221;.  No sense in getting cranky about it.  It&#8217;s just one of those costs that come with driving.<\/p>\n<h2>On Twitter&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/rustin\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image308\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rustinjessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/03\/twitter.png\" alt=\"Twitter\" class=\"alignright\" \/><\/a>I&#8217;m completely addicted to <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/rustin\">Twitter<\/a>.  Observant readers will have already noticed that I&#8217;ve added a &#8220;Right Now&#8230;&#8221; section to the front page of my blog.  This is a feed directly from twitter for up-to-the-minute updates on what I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t really explain what makes this so appealing to me&#8230;   its just sort of fun.  It&#8217;s like that mental release that a blog gives you, but in small regular doses.  You don&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Register and add me as a friend.  You&#8217;ll even get my updates on your phone. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Took my car in for some regular service today.
