Got me a new toy to celebrate

Looks like another week flew by! Where does the time go? Sheesh! Nothing much special really happened this week. I fixed a PC for a new person this week and met an old friend I haven't seen in about a year at the place we used to hang out, the good ol' BT! We had a fun time and caught up on a lot of things. We have decided to make that hang out a once or twice a month thing because we don't really see each other anymore.

My car is really starting to take on the roll and life of KITT because it really is starting to have a mind of its own. I drove it to Mc. D one afternoon and all was good. I then had to leave to drop off a PC for someone and for some reason, my baby wouldn't turn over, as in it would keep churning but not totally start. I thought it might be that idle switch thing my uncle told me about the last time because I had that problem last time and put it in neutral and it started. This time, it didn't. I called my uncle Bri and he thought it could be the starter or fuel pump. His brother in law couldn't come over to check it out so I ended up taking the ol' Dragonmobile. I was not used to it anymore because it is much higher than my Firebird and, for some reason, the rear-view mirror was on the back floor with a crack in it so I was kinda pissed off about because, even though it's not my car anymore, I still have feelings for it. But, ah well!

After I came back home, I had my uncle take a look at my car. He too said it might be the starter and popped the hood and was going to try to smack the starter to get it going again but it was blocked under some other "car parts" (I'm not a mechanic and I don't know dip about cars so don't laugh!). After that, he closed the hood and tried to start it again and miraculously, it started..... and started again... and again. So, it's been working ever since but I bought a starter today and am going to have Uncle Bri's brother in law check it out in the morning and probably have him install the new starter I got anyway so I don't have to worry about getting a new one in the future; this one also has a lifetime warranty. When I do that, I will also have him check out the other "car parts" to see if they are in good shape too.

Anywho, enough about that for now.....

Until probably tomorrow,

Justin
