car parts woes

Ok..could be my fault..but the rest of the parts arrived .. so after work I put the car in the garage, jacked it up.. all 4 tires off the ground. Took the wheels off.. started taking the front brakes apart.. found the brackets rusty, so wire wheeled and painted them.. pulled the calipers and rotors off . Installed the new rotors.. grabed the freshly painted brackets..and tried to install the brake pads... Hmm they dont fit right.. they are a bit bigger than the old ones.. i thought i figured it out and tried to mount it ..the rotors are too big for the calipers . .. wrong parts! Pads and rotors. .. wrong! ..

So i had a better used set of pads from Pearl.. so i put the old rotors back on and replaced the pads.. i was gonna put all the new parts back in the boxes..but checked the rears.. which were the ones that needed replacing.. they were correct.. so i did the rears.. it was too late to go get new pad for the front..so I dod the rears.. got them all in.. pumped the fluid and called it done.

Now ...do I file a return and see if can get the right set for the front..ot just buy the right set and see if they will refund the wrong ones.. it would be costly to return them...they are heavy.

For now.. it is good.. could use a new set of pads for the front.. the rotors were not that bad ..

...

So.. off till Tuesday.. I start my on call on Monday..but dont have the duty tech phone till Tuesday when i can get it from Jason...

I am going to visit N for New Years.. she moved it to Sunday.. I suggested coming up late Saturday..get there after she gets home from work..and have all day Sunday and leave Monday afternoon.. but, she suggested I come up Sunday.. I agreed.. we will have New Years with her friends.. and we will see how it goes.

I hope I can find how to start the new year ..in a good place in her heart.. 

She did say she wanted to see me as soon as possible!

Yeah ...I have my on-call weeks.. after the 1st.. 

But, if im needed, I will ask Todd to handle it till I get the phone on Tuesday .. 

..

On another note.. I have not heard anything about the job apps.. I seen another posting for a similar job yesterday..it has a different req number..so I applied to it as well.

I am expecting a call ..asking me to come in for an interview..with the new manager.. 

.. as far as future retirement and money goes. I should go back.. fight the traffic and bank the cash..build the 401k.. and plan for the next 5 years.. County is not going to help with retirement.. if I can go back..I can fix that..and level out my income..and hopefully revisit my time and time off..

And my schedule will be more in line with N's.. if they give me my old shift..

Wednesday through Sunday..

Monday Tuesday weekends...

... Maybe I can ski again..

....

So.. I have to ask myself..

Is this renewed interest..

Did someone come to my side..or did my round trip make a difference?

I did it because I was asked..relied upon.. and I could.

Im glad that I could!

..

I hope it is all good.

..I still worry ...she may ask me to appear ..so she can tell me to go away..and not bother her anymore...

I hope.. not 

I really want this to get better..and More.

It is what I want. To find that person..the one that I can make happier.  The one that makes me happy..the one that can be happy with me..in their life..

That would make me happy..

.. I am too old for games..and plots..

Come clean..I want to make you happy..with me.. in your life...

...

I know ..a tall order..a major request..but really..do we need any drama?. I dont..

Hug me..kiss me...

Make me feel needed..

Ask me to do something..

That is what I need

..

To be needed.. to be useful...

That can encompass many things..

Ask.. you will be pleasantly surprised.. or more....,..

All I can say..is ..trust me...
