Frustrating broken everything
Posted in General Stuff, Grumble, restored on June 5th, 2009 by otter – Comments OffWe should have stayed in Hawai’i. Everything has been problematic since coming home. My iMac’s keyboard died (due to it’s desire to drink some water) and it was a royal pain to get a new keyboard for it. Nikki destroyed her iBook’s power supply by dropping it off the couch, and then all of a sudden today, the magsafe connector for my Macbook will not charge. I’m not sure if it’s the battery or the connector. I hope it’s the battery so it’s covered by Applecare. I don’t want to spend another $70.
I blew a tire on my car Wednesday night, and tried to get it fixed on Thursday morning. They wanted a few hundred bucks for the tire and their effort. I called around and got a good condition used tire for $40. That’s more my speed. I’d much rather re-use a perfectly good tire with some wear than put a brand new mismatch tire on my car and have it over-correcting whenever i try to steer.
