Ujoint blew up on the highway, driveshaft proceeded to throw a hole in the gas tank and cracked the bellhousing
Might be forgetting more damage under there

 

Ouch! I’ve got a spare transmission but it’s an auto…

 

Interesting. I'm not sure I'd want a whole truck though, then I'd have two heaps to worry about.

 

Yeah most the time its stamp on the mixing valve and you cant see that unless you open the wall. And at that point you might as well just replace the whole thing.

Theres no part numbers on the cartridges?

 

Fify

 

Yea I've got myself in a real pickle here, I might be stuck in Moscow forever. This place is a black hole lol

 

Oh I just meant the Tacoma (1) and the Xterra (2) as your piles to worry about

And why would you be stuck? Dude, you got no kids, no obligation to a significant other

You're living the absolute dream right now

 

Yea I got you, I was just saying this whole vehicle fiasco started when I decided to move, then I got another truck that turned out to be a stinker. This place just has bad juju for me I guess.

 

I mean, at least you're enjoying the shit out of your salted potatoes right?

 

They don't really grow potatoes up here, the Moscow-Pullman area is basically a giant wheat field.

 

When you find out WA has greater potato yield every year than Idaho you start to realize that place's plate says famous potatoes... Not good potatos, or lots of potatos .. just famous. Idaho is a has been that didn't even try to have another thing before giving up and becoming Alabama's northern look alike.

 

Well you can't be too far from getting yourself a good bunch right?

I mean I'm not from New York, but I've been there. And I know y'all like your salted potatoes with butter.

Yeah no kidding I just learned something new

 

Washington and BC have better mountains and forests too. I have no idea why the Treasure Valley is such a popular place to move to. I was just down there for work and it was just endless cookie cutter suburbs in scrubby fields full of tumbleweeds and cheatgrass.

 

The COOP has some decent produce at least.

 

Yeah Boise is very lame. It reminded me of Arizona everything's built on a grid and looks the same as everything else. The best places in Idaho don't have people in them. It says something both about the people of Idaho and Idaho's landscape

 

The last 3-4 things I've shipped USPS have been heavily delayed with no tracking updates. I sent some documents to the sheriff who held the auction that 4Runner was sold in. My local tax office rejected the auction receipt and seized vehicle auction form (used in a place of a title) and accused the signatures of being copied. This left me with a vehicle I can't scrap or get rid of without cutting it into thirds.

The documents arrived three days late after I paid ~$32 for priority express. This all needs to be resolved within 30 days so time was important and the sheriff was going out of town this past week. So USPS immediately approved my refund request which is better than nothing I guess.

 

In the last 3 weeks, I've had the worst luck with USPS lately.

There's a hub in Fresno where everything comes through and goes, same in Sacramento.

I had an item land in Fresno, then SHIP to Texas, and back to Fresno some days later last week.

A few days ago, same thing but it shipped back out to Colorado even though it arrived to California from North Carolina.

Another item landed in Fresno, then went up to San Francisco and back down again.

And lastly another item that shipped from Los Angeles up to Fresno, then up to Sacramento (farther away) only to sit there for a week before coming back down to Fresno.

They're all sorts of fucked up.

 

I think they're going through some overhauls with their staffing and management plans.

 

Clearly they've gotten an influx of government efficiency. You can tell by the way they've gotten much better in the last 6 weeks
