So anyway, I have one other thing. So this week was kind of a drama with my car. So as I've mentioned on a couple other nets, on Sunday I drove over this sewer opening that was just slightly, they were excavating the street and it was sticking up out of the ground by about an inch and a half. And so it was right after this little drop in the road. So as I drove over it, the timing was perfect. It took out my oil pan on my car. So I lost all my oil. So after a couple days of, with Labor Day I had a couple days to think about it, I took my car to my mechanic and he said, yeah I've seen a lot of these, you've probably got about a 70% chance that your engine is okay. And so I paid the $830 to get it fixed. And so basically my car is working and it feels, I'd say it feels 95% okay. It's kind of hard to explain, there's something a little funny with it. So my engine wasn't completely destroyed. If you lose your oil, it's very easy, very quickly to just completely fry your engine. My car's got a lot of problems. My mechanic even said, don't bother putting any more money into this car than you have to, you're looking at between $4,000 or $5,000 worth of just stuff that's just going to, as he said I'm on borrowed time with that car, I've been very lucky. So it gives me time to find something else. And the other quick thing about it is, I am going to file a claim with the city of Shoreline over this. I went to Shoreline City Hall and I talked to them about what to do and I told them where the problem was. Well the next day or maybe even later that day, they covered it up. And after, in the spot where it happened, it was clear that there was at least one other car that had the same fate as mine because you could see the trail of oil going different directions. Anyway, sorry for going on so long. This is KC7 ODD.
