Well, My car mister may be fixed thanks to AbrakaMagic’s dad. It appears as though Walmart does not know how to change oil correctly and left my oil pan drain plug halfway out. I pulled my car into his garage and he cleaned the plug, put a new washer and a sealant on it and so far I have not noticed any new oil drips. I hope it stays that way because I didn’t know what I was going to do without my car.

Well, with my car nice and fixed I went into AbrakaMagic’s house to look at some fishes and talk a bit. A while later it came time to head home to my parents house. My car was still parked in the garage so I got in my car turned in on, started backing up all the while staring fondly at AbrakaMagic and suddently I stopped. Not because I hit the break or I stopped the car itself, I had forgotten something. A loud crunch and a sudden stop made my heart stop, the thing I had forgotten was my driver’s side door. I hit the break and pulled forward a bit, I didn’t want to look at my door, I know that I had made a huge mistake. I turned off the engine to inspect the damage. I had bent A’s garage door tack along with my car door. A’s dad kept saying it was okay, and 5 minutes ago he had the garage door going up and down just fine again. My car door would still shut although the window would no longer move and the door was boed out so that if it had rained it would have leaked right through the door. I felt like a total idiot, and I apologized so many times. I still will need to take AbrakaMagic and her dad out to dinner. Anyway heres some pictures of the damage:

Doesn’t look too bad huh?

Think again:

See? you can see through that crack!

So, after I came back up to logan, I immediately went looking for an autobody shop.

I went to Miller Auto Body first because they were the closest. I let the guy know that I only wanted my door bent back into place (after a minor mishap in a garage) and that function was the only thing I was worried about, I didn’t care what the painted looked like, nothing. They said they would have to replace the door and re-paint it, at the price of $750, and thats with a used door, $950 for a new door. They expected it to take 4 hours to put a door on a car, seriously I have done it in 30 minutes, an hour max. I told them sorry and I was going to take my business elsewhere, I then found another place, Don’s auto body, and they where amazing, they gave me a 1 hour quote to fix the door (Once again I told them the exact same information as I told these guys) And they took my car back, about 40 minutes later, they came back and said they were done so they were only going to charge me for 30 minutes of work which ended up being about $25. So here is mister now:

looks a little rough, I don’t mind because he is fixed

The door:

So Mister is good to go now! Anyway here is the lesson to learn:

Don’t stare at beautfull women while operating heavy machenery, they do not mix. Don’t get me wrong, beautfull women are amazing and fun to be around and to talk to, but you might as well operate the heavy machinery blind.

*Note: Names where obviously changed to protect the awesomeness of people, my own rep can always take a hit I don’t really care.

Also I have fixed some minor bugs in the wordpress code, someone should have told me that if you look at an individual post it would have huge text! Anyway it is fixed.

So my car, Mister, has been leaking oil and transmission fluid, from what I can tell and what my Manager thinks, it is the crankshaft seal that is going out. So I have at least 1 bottle of oil just sitting in my car now just so if I get low, I can fill-er-up at least a bit to keep her running. I’m not quite sure what I should do, get a new car (or a scooter has been suggested more than once to me)? Spend a lot of time and money trying to get it fixed? I’m not sure what to do, but its for sure, either way I am going to have to spend money I don’t have trying to get my car running as I think it should, namely not leaking oil when I park him.

My work is having their Quarterly (I think) highway cleanup so I am going to go do that tomorrow moring at 8am. Not too exciting but not too bad, it will help the environment, even if just a little bit. Anything is better than nothing right? Plus it will be with a whole bunch of nerds (Maybe? I’m not sure) so that could be lots of fun, I just need to make it fun.

Mushu has been getting really big, it is suprising me, he used to fit really easily in the plam of my hand, and now he is the size of my palm. I can’t wait until he gets huge, I expect it to be at least 4 more months until he is the size that Leo is now, and with Leo you have to use 2 hands to comfortably hold him now adays.

Anyway I’m going to get back to programming, hopefully it can calm me down enough that I can figure out what to do about my car.
