He laughs a lot, he smiles, he cries and he does what a million other babies do - he brings joy and happiness to your day. Thank you my love for bringing our son into our already perfect lives.
I haven't been blogged in a bit but I am trying to keep up with 12/year as a personal goal. I've been busy with work and adding random people to my Instagram account. My wife doesn't understand my desire to have twitter and instagram followers when I have no idea who they are and they do not know me. It's interesting to peak into other's lives on Instagram - especially if they travel to great places.
You can find me @bscottkelley or #bscottkelley not sure how that works.
I follow Tony Hawk, NFL, Subaru fans, Japanese people, rap stars, and everyone else.
Speaking of Subaru- I left the cap loose on my radiator after checking all of my fluids because my temp gauge said hot. All was good but needed to bring it in to be sure. The car is 10 years old and has 143k miles on it so you sometimes have to fix things....makes up for no payment in 5 years.
The shop called later in the day.....block test said headers are gone; need a new radiator, headers resurfaced which they will send out, and a couple of other things. Hold on here - no milky substance in the oil, no white smoke out of the exhaust, no loss of power - are you sure? Yes and it will cost you $3,500 which includes getting the headers repaired. Ok so I looked online and I can get a new engine for less than that....time for a second opinion.
I called a shop 3 blocks away - 4th generation old dawgs but work on japanese cars.
Block engine test that day and kept the car overnight for another evaluation in the morning. Block test again and same results all is good. Radiator ok but a clamp was loose and leaking. Also recommended a radiator flush/exchange...total bill $170??? Really? I was about to spend $3,300 and now I am only spending $170- was I really about to spend/waste that much money? That's a nice vacation according to my wife. I've been driving it for a few days and everything seems ok. Temperature gauge works but is normal, oil is fine, power is good so it looks like I might be in the clear.
I am really mad but I actually sadder about the whole thing because someone out there is getting screwed by these guys. They are taking it to their customers 1 at a time and they are lining up to take it. We are slaves to our cars and without them we are hopeless, we are lost.
So $3,000 back in my pocket and really consider a scooter...I'd like a motorcycle but the wife says no way. What better investment right after you have your first child then getting a motorcycle. I have great life insurance and with all of the idiots texting and driving on their new iPhone 5 then I'd be safe.
What's up with Costco gas? It's not cheaper so why are people lining up to buy it? Why does everyone at Costco gas talk on their cell phones? The Costco in Simi Valley CA has at least 3 people at all times talking and pumping gas. Why does the Costco Gas attendant not do or say anything?
Ok need a shower and last feeding is coming up.
