whats not going on in my boring life
admin on Sep 27th 2008
After more than six months in and out of hospitals my dad is finally starting to get back to life. He is still unable to work and can barely move around, but I’m starting to see a bit of spirit in him. They came into town this weekend to visit and do a few things. After several near death experiences it seems his priority is now to spend his remaining time with family. Its not something I can really relate to as I never want to spend time with family.
The car I bought from him suffered an I’ll fate. I’m pretty sure I mentioned it here before. Investigating the problem further, it turns out the wheel bearing had busted apart inside the hub. Probably as a result of bieng overtightened. Seems to be a simple fix at first glance. A wheel bearing and some grease might cost fifteen bucks. However the bearing failure happened on the highway at about 70mph. Its unfortunate, but the components of the bearing are welded to the axle shaft. I don’t know what it will cost, or even if I will bother to fix it at all. I’m going to have to replace the axle stub and its welded to the axle. There’s no simple fix.
Anyhow, I didn’t really have much to say this week. I made a promise to myself that I would write something in my blog at least once a week, so here it is. An update of whats not going on in my boring life. I’ve just been working hard every day, and after work I work some more at home in preparation for going to work the next day.
A boring work filled life.
