Frustrating broken everything
We 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.
