On my feet all bloody day
and then I cam home to a late night semi emergency car repair, which would have been FAR easier if the manual I have for the car actually showed the correct wiring diagram!!
Bastards.
I have not commented on the government shutdown because my patience is at it’s end. I am deliberately ignoring the whole affair lest my better angels lose the battle they have been having for a very long time now.
I have an overdeveloped sense of justice, and I do not posess what others would refer to as a conscience. There is little between who and what I am now and what most would consider a monster. Only an herculean force of will and ignoring the petulant games of assholes is keeping me on the straight and narrow at present.
Yeah… I tend to be more concerned about hypertension, but… yeah.

Keep up the battle. Letting the inner monster loos only frightens the proles and angers the hired guns.
On the car repair, I remember doing a 231 V6 engine one time. Could not get the thing to run right. Long story short, the public manual we where working from show the distributor rotation going the wrong way. Once we say a factory manual the issue was resolved.
I bet you’re really fucking lovely to be around after a bad day.
I try not to go near humans or dogs.
Dogs? Now what could a dog do that would awaken the inner beast?
Or is it you just don’t want anyone’s company?
Bingo.
Believe me, I know what you mean. When I’m in that state I call it a “not safe for fabrics” day, because what’s a black mood without a humorous description of it?
“Good men don’t need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many.”
At one time I made my living working on English cars. In the course of that life I rebuilt a fair amount of front suspensions on MGBs. One car came in for an engine rebuild and a front suspension overhaul. It would be a sizeable bill so I wanted to do something extra and I had all the suspension parts including the subframe sandblasted and painted. I reassembled the suspension and when I set it back on the ground I noticed that the front wheels had about 10 degrees positive camber. Put it back up in jack stands and poured over the manual. Usually I only did one side at a time so if I had a question I had an unassembled side to look at. After studying the manual for quite some time I finally realized that the upper kingpin trunion was shown 180 degrees out. It was backwards. I discovered that this was the same in every manual I had (about eight at the time) including THE FACTORY MANUAL.
I always wondered how many other people had been caught by this and how this mistake had persisted for, at that time, about 25 years.
