I finally got the federal taxes done and I'm about halfway through the state taxes- whoever designed the Oregon tax forms should be chastised for their incompetence
What did you accomplish today?

I’m at the dr’s with the wife we’re both getting tested and both feeling a little under the weather. And also under a tornado warning so we have that going for us. It’s been pollen season for a few weeks so we almost didn’t even notice the extra snot and coughing until the fever kicked in.

12 cabinets take up a lot of space in a garage. I'm going to go through and ID where each one goes today. The little Mexican dude that unloaded them from the truck is a beast. He just grabbed 36"X42" cabinets like they were nothing.
I have to take back the tiller I bought, used it once and the belt is so stretched it won't go forward anymore.

Damn, feel better soon you guys! Too much tequila maybe!! Or not enough. You're vaccinated aren't you?
I took a test tonight too...I've felt under the weather for the past week, swollen glands, super tired, etc. Mine came back negative though.

I mailed mine out today with a couple of fat checks...I sold a couple rental properties last year that I owned forever, so they bent me over a little. Not terrible though. No lube needed.
I put a new heating element in mine a month ago...Same thing, a cheap kit on Amazon. It wasn't drying very well...It dries as good as a gas dryer now. For like $20. Chinese knockoff parts!! Have you seen the prices of appliances lately??

I did all the sensors and a new element a little while back. I wish I would have changed the rollers and belt then when I already had it tore apart. But as things go it didn't start making noise until after I did the other repair. Same thing then as well. Cheap kit on Amazon.
There really isn't much to a dryer. Pretty easy to work on. So easy even a caveman could do it.

I forgot until you mentioned it, but mine came with all the sensors too.

Replaced one of the headlights in the ladies car again. There has to be something going on because these things are popping way too often. I feel like tracking down the jerk that thought having to drop the front bumper to change a headlight was a good idea and having a little chat. 
But seriously, I know why they do this. It's so people can't work on their own cars and you have to take it to the stealership for every little thing and pay them $150 just to swap a headlight. They're making it hard for independent mechanics to even work on some of these cars. Screw them. Some of us can still turn a wrench and do it ourselves even as difficult as they make it.
One of the ladies friends had to take her Ford Escape in to get the alternator replaced. Cost her $800. I said she got ripped off until I looked online and saw that the alternator is buried under the motor and you have to remove the strut, engine mount, jack up the motor just to get to it.
They don't engineer them to last. They engineer them to be difficult to work on yourself and expensive to repair.

Took the tiller back. 
First off they told me the 30 day return policy starts when you order the item, not when you pick it up, so it would have expired the 2nd of this month. THEN they said they couldn't take it back because it had a teaspoon of gas in it.
THEN they said they could only give me store credit and I couldn't buy anything online and use that credit. 
FINALLY someone made a call to the great Home Depot god and he blessed me with the damn money being put back on my card. I need many beers and no joints are safe right now. F**k me living.

My 06’ Tacoma was having an eating headlights issue that last about three years and then it stopped, so it’s been about four years since I’ve had to change one. One side is easy the other side is a mofo. And then my daughter has a 13’ civic that the alternator was only charging at about 10 amps. Doing the old school trick to see if it had a magnetic field and not actually testing it kinda threw me for a loop. And then the stealership wanted 700$ for the part and 400$ to install it , I was like get a cheaper after market and I’ll change …. we’ll it was easy to see why they wanted 400$ install. The funny thing is that cheapo has outlasted the oem part.Replaced one of the headlights in the ladies car again. There has to be something going on because these things are popping way too often.
