YAY!!! I HAVE MY TRUCK BACK!!! Boo... $571 to fix it... It all started with a bad ball-joint. But sliding across the freeway at 75 MPH just didn't help. So Ball-joint, tire rod, ball-joint retainer, alignment, new tire and labor... $571...
It sucks that every time I come out slightly ahead something like this just sets me back. But I'm up and running once again. Just in time for school too. I couldn't pay for a full time class load, so I'm just taking the one unit news paper class. Even that ended up being $90.
My trucks been through a lot this last year. I feel like I need to do something for it. A kind of gift, you know... Perhaps a trip to the car wash... The good wash for once... Though that's going to have to be put off for a while longer.
So there it is. Though I looked high and low for help to fix my truck, there was no help to be had. It was foolish on my part to look for help. I wasted a lot of energy in doing so. No, this just goes to reaffirm that the only person I can truly depend on, is my self.
