Reached that point of #insomnia where I’m not going to lie in bed for six hours — awake and suffering — before getting a 90 minute nap and waking up to the pre-dawn glow. I’m just not going to go to bed anymore. I’m also going to delete this app off my phone. Maybe I’ll come back. #goodbye

Yeah

I haven’t had a normal night’s sleep since Jan. 18 or something. I’m just getting a couple hours a night.

I am so tired.

This is the Napa website. Pop-up bullshit. Everything was better 25 years ago.

Trying to order a car part… how do things keep getting worse?

Door latch is fixed.

Unfortunately, I ascertained that I have a leaky heater core. It’s been dripping slowly for months. You all might be able to see that the passenger mat is damp. I will go ahead and order that. This car gets driven; I want to keep it nice.

I can’t stand her.

“Touch grass”? You mean the dead gray stuff under the layer of frost?

Hanging in there. Nothing has burned.

Tell me one.

It’s an idea

It’s all dumb jokes or doom.

Every post here is depressing. Every one. I’m thinking it’s not for me. I try to post about happy car (book, record) stuff to buoy myself but people are too busy spiraling to see it.

Latch cleaned up like new. Perfect shape.

Dave, not a bad guy at all @davehudson.bsky.social · Jan 31

I’ll soak the old grease off the latch and re-lube since I have it out.

Been having a little fun figuring out why the Mustang driver’s door won’t latch. It’s not the latching mechanism, confounding my expectations, but instead the push-button handle. Should be a free fix, too.

We are absolutely playing. Bolt hasn’t felt this well since June.

Well he’s alive, but he’s definitely not OK. I volunteered to be a kidney donor. I haven’t been tested or anything.

Thanks. Should be a straight forward repair

Dave, not a bad guy at all @davehudson.bsky.social · Jan 29

Thank goodness it’s not really cold

Continuation of the story which no one will care about: I drove two hours in my 66 Mustang to visit my sick brother. Took that car because my other cars are broken…

Ready to head home and the driver side door won’t latch closed. I bought a bungee cord to keep it shut as I get home.

That certainly could be part of it.

Dave, not a bad guy at all @davehudson.bsky.social · Jan 29

I hadn’t thought of that. Maybe that’s the issue.
