on monday i took my car in for timing belt/waterpump/gaskets/oil seals, etc. in the evening i realized that i was leaking oil, so this morning i took it back in, and it turned out that the lower oil seal they installed was bad. so instead of calling people and orchestrating rides, i just figured i’d walk around. it’s crazy when you walk around town and notice things that you never had the time to as you drive by. anyway, i had a chicken sandwich at this burger shop, then walked to the gym and worked out, then walked back to my apartment (maybe 2 or 3 miles from the shop to my apt). by the time i showered, had a shake, and changed clothes they called me up to tell me my car was done, so i just walked back to the shop.

now that my engine’s running well again, i figure this weekend i’m going to do all the other things i’ve been neglecting, like front brakes/rotors, swap out my cold air filter for the stock one, plugs, wires, wipers, fix my bumper that’s loose and give it a good wash. if anyone wants to come over and get their brakes done (mike, ben), or christine if your window’s not working, teehee… i’ll prolly be at my mom’s house most of this saturday.
