Maintenance was completed but without any down time. lj_maintenance explains it all: " burr86 decided that he did NOT want the site going down and prepped it so that we didn't have *any* interruption in service! AND the data center power maintenance was also completed successfully; truly a win-win situation. But hold the accolades for burr86 on the power stuff since the data...
- Checked fluid levels - Checked tire pressure and added air as needed - Inspected overall condition of car for leaks, broken, worn, or otherwise damaged items With colder weather coming, I figured that...always holding as tight as it should be though. I believe that the self-adjusters in my rear calipers are not always working properly. Note to self: Keep an eye on parking brake / rear calipers.
- Replaced OEM Panasonic battery with NAPA AGM Miata battery - Made minor modifications to improve fit of NAPA battery - Fabricated battery terminal extension in order to connect battery cut-off switch...to securely mount the battery. I'm not going to get into all of the minor details though, and I may make some changes later. $100.14 - NAPA 5081R Battery and battery terminal-related items

That means, in other words, I have neither *censored* nor watched any shows other than True Blood and Mad Men this week, and I have no idea when I will be able to catch up. For that reason, I might be a little quiet during discussions.
Yesterday my ex-husband told me he thinks that as our younger daughter has now gone to university and I am no longer supporting her, he should reduce the amount he has been paying me in maintenance - by nearly 50%. This won't make a huge difference to my income, thankfully, because he has been paying me a paltry sum for years, nowhere near what most reasonable people would have expected him to pay...
I’m teaching a basic bicycle maintenance class through the Seattle Free School this coming Saturday, October 18, at the Ravenna Eckstein Community Center , starting at 1pm and lasting an hour or two, depending on what people are interested and how bad the weather is. (We’ll be meeting on the covered walkway out front, so should be protected from rain, but fairly exposed to wind.)
