The Good and the Bad
Feb. 24th, 2003 07:11 pmGood: Discovered where the mystery noise in The Cat is coming from.
Bad: It's in the transmission.
Good: While the transmission is no longer under warrentee the guy at the shop is willing to help me out cost-wise.
Bad: They will need to keep her for upwards of a week to take the transmission apart and find the noise.
Good: All the other stuff we tried replacing locating this noise was stuff that actually needed replacing so the effort wasn't a waste.
Bad: That stuff was around $350 in parts and labor, and I have another $100-200+ in parts and labor still do be done to finish it up. Plus the cost of the transmission repairs.
Good: I actually have a job and savings to cover the transmission work this time.
Bad: THat money was in theory for moving up to Boston.
Good: Got to see DocElf, DragonGirl, IslandGirl and another friend this weekend.
Bad: Spent the whole week trying to fight off rampaging depression, lost that battle Sunday evening and slipped out on the ppl I was hanging out with w/o saying goodbyes to most of them.
Good: Actually got emails to me rather than just spam and crap.
Bad: Accidentally deleted them all before getting a chance to reply to them.
Good: Have been invited to a party and to an SF con at Vassar this coming weekend.
Bad: With The Cat's mechanical issues and the money it will likely cost to fix them I don't know that going to these things is a good idea.
