Karma Strikes (Or Is That Carma?)
Posted on December 14, 2007 - Filed Under Aahz, Personal Finance | Leave a Comment
About three weeks ago the brakes on my ‘89 Ford Bronco (affectionately named Rover) started making noises to let me know they needed some work. I’ve had other noisy brakes in the past and figured I could make it to payday, which is the 19th - next Wednesday. I was wrong 
This morning while running the kids to school the brakes started grabbing and pulling my off course. I returned home convinced that I’d need to take it in to…
Yet Another Car Insurance Bill
Posted on November 11, 2007 - Filed Under Shopping | 2 Comments
Another Geico bill arrived in Saturday’s mail. I wrote a couple of month’s back about my frustration over Geico’s latest advertising scheme. They keep saying they’ve lowered their rates in California, but my rates still haven’t gone down. So I went looking for car insurance quotes again. This time I checked out Auto Insurance Remedy, whose slogan is: “Making It Easy To Find The Best Rates”.
The front page has a deceptively simple form asking only for your first name, state and…
No More Lost Ladders On The Freeway
Posted on October 30, 2007 - Filed Under Shopping | Leave a Comment
While I had Rover in the shop I was talking to a guy getting some maintenance done on his work truck and noticed a nifty little rack device I’d never seen before. It’s called a backrack rear bar and is perfect for securing ladders so they don’t end up sprawled across a freeway lane causing headaches for everyone behind you (not to mention costing you the cash for a new ladder). I hesitate to even call this nifty device a “rack”…
Getting Started With Online Auto Parts

A couple of months ago Rover (my beloved vehicle) decided that it would no longer start with the key like a normal car. Instead I had to jump it at the solenoid every time I wanted to get it goin’. Obviously with fall upon us, and the rain this brings, the situation was getting more and more uncomfortable each day. The problem was that in order to fix it I’d have to take apart the entire steering column which is…
Just Can’t Get Started Today

Remember that light I saw at the end of the tunnel? Turns out it was just some phosphorent rock or sumthin’, cause it sure as heck wasn’t the end of the dark, dark tunnel. I wrote a while back about the wheel bearings going out on Rover (my truck), well he’s had more problems since then. For several weeks I’ve needed to turn the steering wheel to get the ignition to start, but on Monday this trick stopped working - ironically while…
Wheel Bearings, Rides, and Frisbees
Posted on September 3, 2007 - Filed Under Fatherhood, Ride Reports | Leave a Comment
While running errands on Friday morning with one of my clients, the “buzzing” that Rover (which is what Z named my Ford Bronco) was joined by a clanking noise. It just got worse when I went to pick Z up that afternoon and my most mechanically knowledgeable friend couldn’t really diagnose the problem. So I turned to Google and self-diagnosed it as the bearings going bad in the front right wheel. A little more research on the problem got me…
