So far this month's been a bang up month for me.
1) Replaced both rear tires on the car after getting towed to Firstone from work. ($200)
2) Last weekend coming home from my ISP in Paola my car overheated: Tow and new radiator ($500)
3) Brakes mushy. Just low fluid? Added fluid... see if that fixes it. Now if I could just get the car started: New starter: $150
4) Bob Jones, the guy who built both of the XS1100's I owned passed away last month and I didn't find out about it until I went by his shop to see why he hadn't answered any of my e-mails. Bummer time.
5) Things at work which have been going strong are starting to slow down, management is freaking and fragmenting, resulting in lots of friction and stress. Not a happy work environment and I'm seriously getting stressed out to the point of migraines.
6) Hasn't happened yet, but there's still plenty of time this month..... _________________ Read my comic: http://www.ImperialGelf.com

That sucks. Bad things happen at once, it seems like. Hope you're blessed with a streak of good luck in February!
I dropped close to $4grand on my vehicle over the past 3 months. But that was all planned/fun stuff. |

Only February? I'd say all year. _________________ "Cogito, ergo es. I think, therefore you is." Ray D. Tutto (King of the Moon) to Baron Munschaussen |

Car's run fine for the last 5 years. January's just been a hell pit of problems, and not just the car. Everything around me seems to be crumbling for some reason.

Maybe it's Lakesh striking back for losing so much power _________________ "Cogito, ergo es. I think, therefore you is." Ray D. Tutto (King of the Moon) to Baron Munschaussen |
