That wasn’t so hard. I had all the correct paperwork even. Go me. It was just time consuming. Buck didn’t have to show up so of course he didn’t bother.

Judgy: Is this marriage irretrievably broken?
Me: Absolutely

Whew that’s a weight off my shoulders. I’m free! I’m freeeeee-eeeeee-hheeeeee!

Supposed to babysit for a short period late this afternoon. Casey has to work late and Ed has to go in early. I think while I’m over in Tempe I’ll pop into Rúla Búla and have a celebratory Strongbow.

So about the car. Casey and I went down there that night and chatted up the service manager. He’s dead on convinced all my issues were taken care of the first time I brought it in and that driving it an additional two months on bad tires broke everything since. Including the original bearings they replaced. I fear without getting a lawyer there’s no way I can argue that shit anymore. I flat out told him that if they couldn’t finish the repairs for under $1200 they should shove the car up their collective asses and I’d walk away. I actually said that aloud. There was no way I’m gonna win without big guns and I don’t have big guns. Fucking Land Rover. I have about half that left in the bank. Between now and Tuesdayish I need to come up with another $600. I wonder if I should take $10 and go play the slots.
