An oil change bolt that refuses to budge.
Will return to it later after the WD40 has done its job.

Oil acquired.
Is it the best? Probably not. Is it the worst? I don't fucking know. I'm not some Oil-Sommelier.
"Mhmm, yes, an overwhelming bouquet of dead dinosaur, and hints of military industrial complex and capitalistic exploitation. Very good."

Good news! Replacement frame cover fits on GG just fine.
Bad news! I might be wrong but I think I need to completely replace the oil. Levels were nil!
Did I really ride 50 miles with no oil? Fuck!

Didn't get the librarian job, again.
My rule of thumb is that if after two separate applications to the same company for same/similar jobs get turned down, I'll just cross that company off the list for the next few years.

Ok, so this is kinda embarrasing. When I got back yesterday, I realised that a small side cover was missing from the Marauder.
Only, I cannot for the life of me remember if it was never there to start with, or it fell off at some point on my ride.
My short term memory can be an utter bitch.

Now that I have a motorbike, I'm falling down the rabbit hole of finding parts.
Really wishing there were 3D models available so I can print my own fairing molds.

I FUCKING DID IT!
Bought the damn thing and rode it all the way home.
Fucking freezing weather, no wonder bikers hate winter, and today was sunny and dry no less. Just fucking cold.
But goddamn am I riding a high right now.
Parked up, and this week I'll do some QoL improvements.

Vroom?
Could it be?
Might it be?
Am I finally getting my hyperfixated heart's desire today?
Check back in four hours, after I've either woefully returned home by train, or crashed my ass somewhere on the A12.

Ok, 'first time riding a geared motorbike' and 'first solo ride' nerves are starting to kick in again in anticipation of this weekend.
What that actually means is my AuDHD is overthinking horribly, and demanding an Adultier Adult.
Unfortunately, I'm the Adultiest Adult I have available to me.

Picking a fight with #Elegoo about failing to deliver the AMS upgrade they promised for the Centauri Carbon.
The only compensation offered is discounts on spending more money with them.
Poking them with consumer law and unfair trading regulations :D

It's been about 15 years, but we're back on Ubuntu, baby!
Was given the dual boot option, but honestly there's nothing Windows can offer me that Linux doesn't already.
Perhaps somewhat more cohesive documentation and UI support

Here we go again: a #MutualAid 🧵
There are many people more worthwhile than me, but I need to ask for help. Again. I'm in arrears on my credit cards and maybe 2 loans,. I'm eating 1 meal a day, I missed last month's rent, and I think a tyre on my car has a slow puncture; maybe 2 tyres.
