Not even two hours after I gave my "no spending money" pledge I got a Google calendar alert saying that my court date for my expired plate ticket is Tuesday. I at the very least have to spend the gas to get the city two hours away where I got the ticket, and though I've been told that usually if you show up with evidence that you got everything taken care of they'll throw out the fine, I'll have to be prepared to possibly pay the full amount.
Whatever entity or force is responsible for the world's fucked up sense of humor, fuck you.
Which reminds me of the very important lesson I learned when I got that ticket: don't be suspicious and you'll probably be fine. I knew my plate was expired and when an officer turned out of a driveway and started following me that night after work I decided to very obviously try to avoid him by turning down side streets.

The thing is, it was a friend's. So now I have to replace it. 18" pipe wrenches aren't cheap, even at Harbor Freight!
And apparently, the next size up is a 24", which is the only way I'll get hold of the fitting to hold it steady while I attack the pipe. Tempted to turn the pipe more directly by drilling it and using a 2 meter prybar that I have...
Which would probably shatter the pipe. *sigh*
Gotta get something done soon - highs in the 50's, lows in the 40's, can't afford a real plumber...

Well, of course (as you tell below) the first thing is to have your own spider.

That's taken care of - she is in Australia :claireface:
GarandMarine:
I dunno why you'd bother to own a car down there. Just saddle up a spider.
