RAW wanted to fix my timing belt tensioner himself. I put my foot down and pissed him off. I finally said, “great, I buy you a truck and I get an unreliable car, thanks!”<\/p>\n

Tuesday RAW attempts to drive it to Subaru to have them fix it but it started to run rough while still in the driveway, a bad sign. He turns off the car and calls Subaru. Meanwhile at work I am wondering why he hasn’t called me with an update. When I pull around the corner to my driveway I see a flat bed truck leaving with my car.<\/p>\n

It is a good thing RAW didn’t try to fix my car. I guess the timing belt was put in 180 degrees wrong. Sure why not another screw up from Tom. Then RAW goes against what we agreed about, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it and had them replace the other non critical belts. Another thing they discovered was there didn’t appear to have any transmission fluid in it. Awww, that must be my “spit on my burger” present from Tom after RAW pissed him off before letting him put my car back together.<\/p>\n

The $125 for towing will be covered by insurance if that is any consolidation.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow me and Hollace head out to Appleton to see the family. RAW went off to Fort Wayne. His mom had a plaque made for his dad in honor of Memorial Day.<\/p>\n

Today was Hollace’s kindergarten graduation. As usual, Hollace looked horribly uncomfortable standing up there while everyone else sang. There was a picnic following the ceremony. The weather was perfect. I worked at home today but I am not sure if I got any work done. I did but it didn’t seem like it.<\/p>\n

I am trying to get something done around here before we leave tomorrow morning, but I have a Flickr addiction that I can’t seem to control. I am constantly going over there to check for new comments, upload photos, organize my pool, look at everyone elses stuff. Today I joined the Square circle pool (sometimes known as “squircles”)and now I am going around the house shooting square circles (example of a squircle photo below).

I never knew looking at photography could be dangerous to my health but I just found out that it can be. About 10 minutes ago I seen the scariest most disgusting photo ever. This guy posted a macro photo of a decomposing dragonfly being eaten by ants. He had a couple shots as time went by as the dragonfly got scarier. I am having a strong reaction to this image. I hope I don’t have nightmares about that photo. Maybe I will go browse the kitty pool to undo seeing that image.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
