Swapped out my EPS with kouki EPS. It’s pretty simple work. Took me bout 30mins w 3 bolts, 2 screws & 1 nut to take it off.

Now my steering feel light & interested to see if truly do reduce the unknown heavy steering.

My town taxes for my 2016 BRZ: $591

I love classic cars sometimes.

I'm sure he will be back soon.

Went to the body shop this morning for the first time to sign the estimate so they could get going on repairs. Real nice shop. I got a real good vib. Lots of high end cars there. They are repainting my bumper, so all my prior curb scrapes should be gone, along with the crease in the paint the shop that installed my supercharger made. I'm feeling better. I'm confident it will look great when done. They expect to take 4 weeks, so I'm going to have to come back to San Jose and get it. I'm going to fight for the insurance to buy me a one way ticket to fly back and get it.

That's going to be interesting. I'm a wuss when it comes to legal/financial squabbles.

"How much is it? Ok."

I went to Lowe's today to try to return 5 unopened boxes of Pergo flooring that was left over from our remodel. When my contractor bought it, that particular color was being discontinued, so he bought it all to assure we had enough. Well, I loaded it in one of their wood carts and pushed it inside to the returns counter. Since I didn't have a reciept, and it didn't show on their computer that it was a product they sold, they would not give me a refund. So I said, "ok, it's yours now." And walked out. The lady is like, " Sir, sir... You can't leave that here! " yeah right, I just did!

Are you having a bad week?

I've had better. Lowe's didn't really bother me. I had a feeling they weren't going to give me anything, and it was kinda fun to walk out. At least I reduced my garbage pickup bill a bit.

Then there's thrift shops and facebook groups. Save yourself a drive or ten.

It's been 12 hours, people. Sheesh.

Happens to me all the time. I feel like I kill the thread every time I post because I'll check back hours later and no one has responded.

Also, I'm having the same problems this week I was having last week, not enough work to keep me busy. Couple that with it being Friday, and the first properly sunny day we've had in over a week (damn sudden monsoon season) and it's feeling like a perfect day to leave early.

I was not expressing the feeling that I had killed the thread. I was expressing disappointment in everybody for not entertaining me. If only Tcoat were here. <sob>
