After my long stint in Alaska, I decided I needed to take the day off (if you are a client, i’m back on track tomorrow!!). I never really take days off as I have said before. I emailed a few people and talked to a few clients, enough to make sure there were no immediate fires. After that, I got ready for a trip through the heart of Portland, out to the Apple store in Beaverton, and then back to North Portland (nopo) where I reside.

One might think this would be an easy trip at 1:30 in the afternoon, nope! Let’s start with the first stop on the agenda, the auto shop. I’m not going to name name’s as my fiancee’s cousin works there and they’ve been good about the situation as-so-far. But I have had to bring the car BACK for the third time for the exact same problem. My POS Jeep can’t seem to get fixed. This last time they had the car while I was in Alaska! Two Weeks! Today I picked it up, I was weary of it working at all.

It got to the Apple Store fine, I purchased my iPhone and was back in it in a matter of minutes. On the way back through Portland, I started noticing that familiar smell of burning rear differential. I was at a fork in the road where I could either turn right and go home, or turn left and head to the auto shop. I opted for the autoshop.

By the time I got there, not only was the car smoking profusely, it was also making bad sounds. I can’t really explain it other than the fact it sounded like the rear axial was freezing up and breaking. I was able to pull in and get a yup, it’s broken again. I took the loner Subaru and headed back to my house, mostly irked because it was all eating into my new iPhone time.

Eventually I got home and am waiting for the number to switch with Verizon. Phone is dope so far. And I haven’t even received a call or text!!!

That was my adventurous day, pretty soon I will vow to never leave home. Too dangerous.
