Evening all.
Quite a day today. It started off by watching a crackhead change her underwear on the side of main street, followed less than five minutes later by a motorcycle cop dropping his bike while dismounting.
My truck was... an ordeal. Got the starter and battery cables replaced. One would think that might be a reasonable sum of money, but $600 does not fit that description. Upon inspection, they installed a chrome/stainless starter. I’m not sure the reasoning behind a shiny starter is, but I’m not a fan. Remind me to do my own starter work in the future.
Also, somehow 5 of my oil pan bolts went missing at some point in the past two weeks.
I have it Jerry rigged with Ace screws until my set of OeM parts arrive.
In other news: my mother will be arriving in Kalispell aboard an Amtrak in the morning, to accompany us to Kentucky, so we’ll be picking her up then.
