That's just how things are

Finally finished with fixing of my car. Long story short, I had to take off my water pump 4 times to get it right.

My cat decided to take a break from me, and get his butt kicked in a fight. XX dollars later, he's back from the vet.

I've gone to a fair amount of rummage sales over the last month or so. Not sure why, but it's kind of nice being able to buy crap I don't need now (but will need later) for dirt freaking cheap. Like recently, I've gotten about a dozen coffee mugs (nice quality ones) for probably a TOTAL of 1.60 (including one today for a dime).

I've gotten teaspoons/tablespoon measuring cups. A vodka shaker drink thingy (which works incredibly well, with Crystal Light) and today I bought a 1950's Fog Bowl Porcelain insulator. They're the things that go on powerlines, and some people collect. The one I bought is kind of big, but not overly rate. I paid a dollar for it, and it's probably worth 8 to 10 bucks. Why did I get it? I. Have. No. Idea.

All of the coffee mugs I got have either weird logos on them, or are random camps or company mugs. They each are thicker than the dollar tree variety, and should retain the heat from coffee or hot chocolate longer. But considering I don't drink coffee, and mostly drink hot chocolate in Idaho, these will probably be used as random decorations.

I saw a neat video on youtube of a 5th wheel trailer that you attach to the top of your smaller sedan car. In the video I saw, it was attached to a VW Bug, and actually looked like a pretty neat set-up. Not sure if I'd want to tow anything behind a bug (considering they're woefully underpowered while towing nothing), but it'd be nice to be able to camp with one of those while in a smaller car.

Until we meet again.
