My phlog directory's lack of order was starting to get to me so I created a gophermap to order it. We'll see if the maintenance will make it more cumbersome or less. Another short entry tonight since it's getting late and I have to be up early again. Today was an exercise in futility. I was hoping to go snowboarding but instead decided, responsibly, to fix my car instead. After searching on teh intarwebs I located the part and dutifully made my way out to the store only to be told that it wasn't in stock and I would have to order it. No, I would not like to order it. I went there specifically because it was in stock. Miffed, I went to get some tools at another store to accomplish the job instead. On my way back home I swung by another shop to order the part where it's from the OEM supplier and I have more confidence that the part will arrive when they claim it will. Anyways I'm sure it will be a fun week trying to get the strut top installed before next weekend. Why am I scurrying to get this fixed and why was it broken in the first place? Because rally. *sigh* I suppose it was my fault after all...
