Today… today was pretty cool overall. I’ve been working on a friend’s VW bus for a while, and had some new developments today. That whole mess started with a blown clutch. And boy did it blow. Which means that, once I put the new clutch in and was test driving to check for correct operation, the transmission blew out also. This sucks.
But the good news is that she just got a sweet hook-up through a friend yesterday, and she found a donor VW bus for $150 that RUNS!!!! I mean, a used model-specific tranny alone goes for $400. So today I went and bled the brakes, re-charged the battery and got some gas for it; all during medium-light precipitation. And then, in a complete best-case scenario, was able to drive it all the way to the college without incident.
Anyways, watched “I, Robot” tonight as my friends who don’t call continued not calling. A friend went to boot camp yesterday. A combination of these three events brought me compose (a term used very loosely) the following piece entitle “Jazz Goobye” as my mood turned from mellow to something shades darker.
