I beat the tie rods 💪 (because I bought the right tool… more over budget!)
Mmmmmm, delicious. This fluid is both for the transmission and the hydraulic system! Good thing I’m in the middle of replacing literally everything.
Apple Music on the iPhone is impossibly bad now, at least if you have multiple Bluetooth speakers you connect to. It’s like they set out to make it a buggy and shitty experience. Steve Jobs could power all of Cupertino if they just hooked a generator to him spinning in his grave
The last time I lived in a house that actually used firewood was 1995 so it’s kind of been a while!
The going rate for a cord of chopped, seasoned firewood around here seems to be $300, give or take. I have no idea how that compares to anywhere else.
These tie rod ends defy me. I will beat them today.
Oh for God’s sake, can we have NOTHING nice in this late-capitalist hellscape?
That was quite the front that just moved through!
Yay. Insomnia.
And you know what doesn’t help? Hearing an OWWWWL hooting around outside. (Merlin Bird ID says it’s a tawny owl)
At least I’m inside and it’s outside, and can’t get it.
“Lane… I’ve been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I’m no dummy.”
I am watching “Better Off Dead” tonight because it’s been too long. My favorite John Cusack movie.
everything i’ve written for myself this year has been about semi-verbal animal people who need to be taken care and comforted
which could mean nothing
Time for exercise! Today we finish New Game+ of Ring Fit Adventure! Then, maybe some gaming afterwards? https://twitch.tv/kakurady

This is happening now! Tune in!
There’s also some “sunk cost fallacy” to worry about because you can get a salvaged 8N engine block for as little as $350 to $400, so if I spend more than that machining one, it’s gonna feel a little silly. Also then I’d be way way way way over my original budget 😩
I hate to admit defeat but I’m thinking of calling a local machine shop to deal with the stuck and/or broken studs in the engine block. I am really concerned about trying to weld a nut to them because they’re right at the surface, and the last thing I want to do is weld them *to* the block. I have a mag drill and could drill them out, that feels safer to me because I can position it very precisely and lock it down, but if I start and don’t feel comfortable I’m just going to stop and call a shop.
The suspiciously inexpensive Chinese welding electrodes I got to attempt that cast iron exhaust manifold repair have a cute welding fox mascot
