Obviously, you've never had to do real vehicular troubleshooting nor have a clue how to do such a thing.

I gotta say, Happi's wire work has gotten super impressive. TFPU Gnome (people prob don't say that all the time, but I mean it).
Sitting Bull was asked by a reporter why his people loved and respected him. the leader replied by asking if it was not true that among white people a man is respected because he has many horses, many houses? When the reporter replied that was indeed true, Sitting Bull then said that his people respected him because he kept nothing for himself.

So, a thread like this really is uselessly narcissistic.

Not sure what the demand is where you live, but maybe drive for Uber / Lyft?

hey there say, Brandon_... i had a bit of extra, but, it is tiny and already commited... and-- my patty had an emergency...
so, for someone like me, i just 'roll' with the 'when and if able' at the 'end of the months' ...
i need much MUCH careful plan and prudent, to be a good steward of the bit that i have...
however:
i do not mean this 'trite' but:
i will give you three days of fasting... i give it to my children and to those that are sick, or hurt and for emergencies...
it is 'going the extra mile' in prayers, and i have seen
very good solid, and extrememly helpful OPEN DOORs for others,
when i do this...
and, i know you are having troubles... so i will give this...
remember, too, to take time to pray, and humbly ask god, too...
it may not seem like it now, but, looking back, later, you
will see he is there and has been helping, when
the times are right...
:)

You guys are great. Denied a loan, but I’ll persevere. Found my space heater, and it’s only in the 30’s right now. I’ll be ok, sorry for being so dramatic. I’ve got one room in the house up to 55*, life is good!
And as far as Uber, my car is in the shop until I get a paycheck in three weeks. Hitching time. Anyhow, there is no Uber around here, it’s a town of 3k people. No market for that sort of thing. I’ll just be that sketchy guy hitching, because nobody hitches here.
It’s like Bob said, ‘don’t worry, about a thing,every little thing, gonna be alright’. So true.
The glass is always half full.

Damn, if you were in LA I could put you to work at good pay for a few weeks. I'm managing a construction project and a bit short handed.

hey there say, Brandon_ ... say, good you got the space heater...
you JUST triggered some memories of mine-- oh my...
i remember for about three winters (about 14 years ago)-- until my dad found out, that:
i was living with it so cold in my house, before i TURNED the heat on,
that i could see my breath--
and the olive oil turned cloudy..
i was just waiting to get through, until feb-- so i would have
enough to pay for that one momth...
:)
AND-- i was determined to 'cause my family to have to help, and
i did have a job-- it just did not pay much for the heat...
it was always feb, before i turned it on, here in mich...
it needed a 'wrench' to turn it on, for the pilot, etc...
and my ex son in law would come over and turn it on...
did not have a bird then, and the cats were okay...
so-- you WILL be fine...
(had a 'mega below 0' sleeping bag, too, so that helped helped, and
during the day, i was at work...
but is MUCH MORE nicer, that you got that heater!!!
best wishes, too, for the job...
still praying...
here's to more things working out good...
and then-- into a better future!

Dogs make great heaters when a space heater is your only electronic source. It’s going to be a long cold weekend. Work starts next week!

It’s tough to just hate your life entirely, while stating publicly that you love it. The dichotomy sucks.

The proud new wheels '98 Caprice Classic copasetic color scheme, junkyard door and straightened frame Why haven't I done this before? talk about how we can't circle the dwain?
Why didn't I think to open a thread describing how I stretch
a paultry (&meager for 5) remittance, that falls to, after the 27 ,(comes in, and then, is gone. . .) into a luxury filled life of plenty?
why don't I do it?
ok ok
I hear yeah,
I know place & time
and all that
Good to the last drop?
we ran out of coffee & garlic today
So id swear but what follows will anger enough...
For certain, please, if anyone can spare a few or some dollars, 2 tens, or a hundred whatever you can, hello it is for Brandon.
Many are deserving & in need - this is a hardscrabble time of year.
Here, there are 5 mouths to feed; I count the dog and the rescued egg-laying Nandee Conure & a chickadee, as one.
The hot water heater is turned off. We turn it on once a week, then crawl under the stairs and mop up the leak.(we have stairs)
I never go into how it is that I do so swell living in one of the wealthy zip codes as I do. I don't look for charity, can't. I won't. I scan the roads for cast offs; dishwashers washer & dryer sets. people who got huge profits from tax reform stripped out whole houses, kitchens & baths, leaving those fixtures on the curb.
Cloths all come from those drop boxes in parking lots. The bundled utilities electric bill, Mort&home,car,payment/insurancez, food, ARE THE PRIORITIES, All else waits. In two days the services; phone & internet will be suspended so this may stay long enough, or I'll think better & delete it. These are lean times, with thick impenetrable costs there are things going on - debts building. We mostly, keep the heat turned off too. At the base of the stairs, the hole in the center of the 2 bed room slab built split-level, is where we burn fallen sticks & branches in a broken, broke-windowed electric fired pellet stove that I lite by hand. . . . . .
I had left a poor me rant,
I deleted it.
The Wife made me,
and there is that I have that too!
I look at my blessings
celebrate that the glass is glass!
No longer a waxed paper cup from the shelter.
I have what I have
make do the best that I can
I do pretty good really
All things considered
I'm white in a house on a street
Had been somethin'else, middle of a dead orchard
there is beauty in my neighbor's yards
as well as chocking smoke
it is what it is
It is all good
I add this for now to be sure to explain:
WHY I HAVE ADDED THE ART ,
I HAVE A LEAKY ROOF over a leaky slab & An indoor private SHjTTER, NOT SO MUCH FOR THE ARTIST WHO IS TO PROUD & NOT A QUITTER.

Brandon, yes yes I do care!
And good on you for putting it out here,
Honesty forthrightness - straight to the point, in the attempt alone the directness, is what sets you out as a climber.
With a work at it attitude that helps you to see that it is always more than less , of course, more is needed! more is better more would be so nice! I hope some help.
