    Can't believe how much I'm being charged to fix my truck. I wish I had a better understanding of what everything means.

    You should choose me! I have my boating license, and Mr. RK used to design boats...

    Brake Pads, Rotors, Power Steering something, Tires, Lift Motor. That's all I can remember, but just found out one of the parts for the shocks are back ordered for 4 weeks. I swear I'm taking a class in the fall, I could be told anything and not know the difference.

    Last night the charger for my laptop broke. Luckily it's only the the part that plugs into the laptop. I tried to order a replacement on Amazon as none of the computer shops I passed by today sold it. Amazon.com won't ship the $20 replacement to my hotel in Germany. Amazon.de didn't have the same one so i had to get a €35 cheap looking one plus €4 shipping and it might not arrive until June 30. :'(:'(:'(

    That's a long time to be laptopless while traveling. :'(

    can you strip the coating, and twist the wires together, and seal with electrical tape until you get the new charger?

    The part that broke is the actual plug. I had it plugged in to charge while I watched a tv show & the laptop fell. So the tip bent then broke when I tried to straighten it. The broken off tip got stuck in the charging port while I was fiddling with it to see if it would still charge at least, so after no success for about a half hour I gave up while I was still able to get that tip out without too much difficulty.

    I will still check the airport for a replacement, but I'm just extra upset cuz I've only had this thing since Christmas.

    oh...*THAT* sucks! happened to me before too...I tripped over the cord, same thing happened to me, except the male part was hanging onto the cord just barely. $80 and a week later I had a new charger.

    In happier news:

    *TOP POT donuts is opening on Alki-for those that do not know, Prez Obama favoritest donuts are from Top Pot

    *my favoritest bar in my neighborhood is awaiting approval for their DOG FRIENDLY patio (I realize there is already a dog friendly bar a few doors away from there, but I don't care for the 'ambiance' there)

    I hope that someday 'norm' will bring his doggie Norm to Seattle so I can take them here...the Golden in the pic is really named Norm as well. Heck, imalive should bring his pup up here for a visit too.

    they will even grill up a chicken or burger patty for your furry friend, and they also have 'bowzer beer'

    we actually have some pretty chill bars, I've asked some places that have a patio if I can bring my dog and they are okay with it.

    Ouch, yeah that's alot. Are you sure you need all of that? Did you put it in for routine maintenance, or did something break?
