Alrightty, time for another installment of ME!
So the big news recently is a few days ago I had a flat tire on the way home at 1am, while I was on I5, which sucked even more. It didnt turn out too terribly bad, but I was able to get pulled over to the side of the road right away, but I didnt really know what I was doing to get things sorted out and fixed, so I started to walk it out to a zgas station to grab some fix a flat, since it had been a slow leak and was hoping since I got off the road right away I might be able to salvage it. But of course it was too far gone for that. So then I had to leave my baby by the side of I-5 in the wee morning hours, and then I humped it back to my house from there, about a two mile hike. By then it was after 2am and i wasnt going to dick around wi roadside support that late in the night. I was worried about her, but since I dont belong to tripple A or have it included with my insurance, i didnt want to pay the premium for middle of the night support. I made myslef get up brighth and early to go to les shwab and get some road side support help, and drive out to help get the spare added in, and give me a jump for the battery being run down with emergency flashing for like eight hours. Only to find out while he was there at I had a jack all along, but I never would have found it on my own, and in fact of course hadnt found it at all, since it was stashed in a little protective cubby right behind the liscence plate. Although I had to youtube fixing a flat to figure out how to use such a compact jack.
I got everything with the car sorted out ok though, and I made myself do a dry run to try to swap the tire. I found out A) the little jack takes a million years to lift shit, and B) im not really strong enough to unscrew the lugnuts with the short twelve inch wrench they had in the car. So I need to go buy a longer one, or try to find a longer pipe to use to extend the handle, but really i should just get a real one.
In wow news I had an awesome day today and dinged two whole levels today. i had about half a level from an 80 tank pl his friend rough dungeons, but the other level and a half was all in BGs. From 77 to 78 i won 11 of 12 bgs and dinged in 3 hours total, which is screaming badass. And now I need to go help with the guild's ICC run eyre trying.
Warm fuzzies
