Long time no see
After about a week of not having a working computer (which is an eternity in the computer nerd universe), I’m finally getting around to fixing this thing. Between all the working, sleeping, and drinking I’ve been doing since the semester ended, I just haven’t had a chance to work on it until now. I ended up buying a new hard drive at Frye’s (NOT a Maxtor), installed it, and am now in the middle of getting all the software set up again. The Service Pack 2 install is running now, which takes forever to finish and is why I have time to sit and write this.
While my computer was broken I was able to get my truck taken care of and the situation turned out a lot better than I expected. It wasn’t the tranmission that was the problem but rather the fuel injectors. A general tuneup, fuel injector replacement, and $600 later, I’ve got her back in good working order. I’ve had several people tell me that I got ripped off for something I could have done myself, but this was one of those situations where I feel my money was well spent in getting someone else to take care of it. Besides, I was originally expecting it to cost several thousand dollars, so I’m happy.
I’m heading out tomorrow morning to spend Christmas with my family at my sister’s house in Houston and I wish everyone a Happy Holidays. Drive safe if you’re traveling anywhere!
