Under warranty I hope.
Unfortunately not. Warranty is only 3-years, 36,000 miles. I bought it used with 40,000 miles on it. Replacement part was $125 on eBay plus I spent about $20 buying an offset ratchet and trim removal tools. Effing ridiculous. I've also had to replace some of the molding around the windshield already too.

I did the mistake of buying cat litter without making sure it says "unscented" and now it's stinking up the whole house. Why is scented cat litter even a thing?! I don't want it to smell like anything!

I got an EOB from an insurance company I'm not insured with for lab work that I didn't have at a lab I've never been to. Looks like the claim was submitted into the group health plan of an employer I left over a decade ago. Now I have to call the insurer and lab to find out if it was a mistake of some sort or if my identity was stolen.

Where the F my nuts at, Fedex? :eek: :mad:

I'm not sure why they've been sitting at their warehouse for 3 days now (30 minutes from my house).

Nope.

Married 20+ years. Wife always keeps them now. ;)

Does she let you take them with you if you go out with the guys? If not, does she at least let you see and hold them once a year? Maybe on your birthday or anniversary?

had to take out the glass and plastic recyclables and one of the tall blue bins was only half full but heavy AF. It looks like that half was all glass but still. So I took it to the curb that way after stoppin halfway up the driveway to rest.

I always try to keep the driver and crew in mind and try not to overload them. But almost all of my recent drink purchases have been glass so I'm hoping this isn't a trend.

I have a package I ordered in early November that I still have not heard squat about. Ended up going through Mastercard to do a dispute. It's a legit company but they won't return my emails or anything, I don't have a tracking number or any kind of confirmation that the order is on it's way. After sending them several emails that went unanswered I decided to just call Mastercard.

kind of an ongoing problem . . .
My shipment from Russia has ground to a halt upon reaching the US. It's been stuck in Orlando since November 28, it appears.
Doubt gnaws my innards - doubt of ever seeing my precious.

Just got my year-end review. Earned an exceeds expectations after a year of hard work. Don't get to know what that means in $$$ until mid-January.

Hard drive PCB seems to have failed on me. It can receive power and spins up but the signal pathway is dead. SATA or or external USB, doesn’t matter. Not even showing up on the computer.
