Went and argued with a dealer about my grandfather's car, first thing this morning. It's a creampuff 2010 Toyota corolla with 8055 miles, garaged all its life. I spent 4 hours diagnosing an electrical problem yesterday, narrowed it down to 2 circuits, radio and ecu 2. I messed with the radio and couldn't find any issues. Went to the dealer, explained everything I did and found, wanted them to take it from there. They called said everything was fine it just kept dying because it sat for to long between driving. They charged the battery, did a recall update on programming, multi point inspection $120, which we knew was a min service charge going in. Went to get it this morning, I started asking questions the service rep couldn't answer. . I ripped the the repair order out of his hands he never wrote down what I said I did or found. He wrote "keeps dying, sits for 2weeks, owner diagnosed short"...nothing else. those fuckers hooked it to a computer, saw no issues, and sent it out. I tweaked in the middle of the service area. The service manager admitted it when I showed him the electrical draw, and it going away with pulling a fuse , I still had my tools, luckily. Fucking right your not charging me! I hate diagnosing electric problems. ...but I guess I'm doing it now. I really fucking hate dealers and shops.

Nahh, we're family, gets tough for all of us at one time or another.

Spit it out. :cool:


i moved threads, idk why.. maybe this will be an accomplishment one day

i know nobody really wants to read these posts.. but fuck yall
not all of my posts can be happy or growing, posting studies, drugs, pharma, and trapping... sometimes i let a little bit of whats deep in my noggin peak through. some of yall know torn i really am inside..


i talked to my ex wife today again, we talk on occasion, between 8-4pm on weekdays lol
anyway i think she might come visit, she lives in corpus Christi right now. she was my best friend for so long im kind of excited to reunite but at the same time my heart is racing and im nervous plus worried.. i left her and i dont regret it, but its not like i wanted to...i mean we still love each other, we both cant go too long without bringing one another up in conversation

i told her to bring her girlfriend cause im not really that guy (despite whats happened this past couple years), and if she tries something i will give in.. but idk, theres a reason we only talk during those hrs.. pretty sure she doesnt know we talk. same old girl, i was hoping after the divorce she would change her ways. its saddening to think we'll never be together again, even if its my choice.
the bi thing was cool in high school and college but there comes a point where if i don satisfy you completely...deuces. i hate that i waited so long to leave, maybe it wouldve been easier
and i feel bad for her current gf who supposedly is gnna marry her dec 2017.. she obviously is the same girl, maybe shes cool with it idk. it makes me happy im still the last dick shes had in her
people who follow my posts on riu and real life know how strongly i felt and feel for her.. how fucked up i was when we split, shit im honestly still recovering.. just typing this brought a tear to my eye


idk really why i posted this.. i guess just had to speak on it. my friends irl dont understand, our past and odd relationship
you know she was the first girl i fucked and only girl id been with till 2 years ago...a long ass time. i guess there will always be something there

i hope we can atleast have a good friendship
im worried that seeing her will bring me back down. i was in a pretty dark place last year.. maybe i shouldnt even be talking to her and really try and cut ties and move on. but theres still hope somewhere un me.
idk what i should do, and i kind of have a few gf's as it is right now. who would be pissed if they knew i even talked to my ex

fyi i spent .a solid hr typing this... ugh lol








anyway sorry guys... thanks for reading....

Honestly? You were crushed, idk the details but it sounded bad. You're a little better now, happier. Sounds like you got your shit together? Why take a chance? Sounds like your still not emotionally ready to just be friends. I'm no analyst/therapist, so take it for what is worth.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while. Been extremely busy around the farm. The fun of living so far north, I get to do a years work in under 5 months.

I got the truck back together for the most part, almost ready for paint, just need to finish sanding. I cleaned the bottom of the box while it was off and put in all new brakes; pads, rotors, drums, lines, etc... I picked up another SUV I might put these wheels on and maybe get some heavy lug tires for this.

Our other cow had her baby but it was still born, really sucks because it was a girl too. Luckily the farmer we get calves from called us right after and gave us 2 more bull calves. We rubbed the dead calf's placenta on the new babies and she adopted them as her own which will save us a couple hundred in milk.

The new momma is on the right. She was a free cow that was going to go in our freezer but we decided to breed her. Her back hoof was frost bitten off when she was born in the winter but she still gets around.

I understand more than anyone would care to know. You gotta do what you gotta do, so just do it. Hope you find a way to heal. Waiting on assholes is a thankless and tough task.
hugs,
