March 1st sucks. Boyhood BFF died. (In my arms after he got hit by a car) Would-be fiance died in a snowstorm/car accident. WW2 combat Vet and grandfather that I was very close to all died on the same day. (Different years)

I was left in gramps will his unusual black metal band watch and his 'lucky ring' (Nazi SS officer ring, long story) the watch is so far gone a jeweler told me it would cost like 200+ to get it fixed. I started tearing up when I saw the Moto 360 smartwatch  which looks strangely almost like it was modeled after it.  But still isn't within reach. Bleh. Oh well.

Screw death. Odd , lately this sort of thing has been becoming more upsetting.

Hugs. I'm sorry. April 1 and Dec 24 is those days for me.  My dad ended his life that day after that big bank robbery nightmare, he lingered on life support til the next day and that was because they waited for all his family from out of state so they could say goodbye and the 5th, my birthday was his funeral.. The first day, the 6th was the burial but that is all the week of my birthday so even though our situations are different I understand the pain of how specific dates bring terrible memories back. Hugs and positive vibes.

      What are you about to go do?

      By TronRP · Posted

      ~~~~~ What angers me the most about the entire incident is that it shouldn't have even been a thing.  I take my vehicle in for service every year and they are supposed to do specific point inspections for each maintenance check.  My brake line was completely rusted through and finally gave up the goat.  When I mentioned that at the service center and also how they said I was supposed to have an undercarriage zinc wash, the first thing the rep said was, "Well, you know how the weather is here and how the rain water and salt can corrode the underside of vehicles."    Yeah, I almost lost it.  That was the reason for me having the anti-corrosion wash done!  Literally, all 3 brake lines were 100% corroded on the external with the one eaten completely through.   I told them that thanks to this, when I get my vehicle back, I'm going to be under there with my inspection mirror because now I don't trust anything.  She then goes on to tell me that I hadn't been there since September of 2022.  But a service should last longer than one month and my vehicle started slowly losing break fluid less than 6 months later with being driven half the usual time and distance due to a change in Trene's doctors being closer to the Detroit city limit.   I have always worked on my vehicles myself.  Growing up, my father was an off and on mechanic and my brother was a military mechanic, so working on vehicles is practically in my blood.  The only thing I don't do is undercarriage stuff because I do not have the equipment for it, but I have a shade-tree mechanic neighbor who is willing to help me out with that.  My dealership warranty was up in 2019, so I have no issues with handling things myself going forward.   ~~~~~ My sister's situation was caused by an accident and the last thing I need is for her to lose faith in my abilities due to someone else's inability to properly do their job because auto places generally have an unspoken rule that they can get more work and money of off female drivers because we don't understand our vehicles and need their assistance.
