The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

He's my man. Big Lou is the only cat I trust touching my cars and he does a great job there. But Tessa doesn't listen to me when it comes to cars... Thus her buying an Audi. haha

But I'll be sure to tell her the BS count from my friends on 247. tee-hee

Put me down on the BS list.
 
Well, today is a kickass day.

Just got final loan approval, two weeks ahead of schedule.
I got the nod from the wife to go to the OCC meet.
And it's friday.
 
Good Friday means we're down about 50% at work here so it's been a SLOOOOOOW day. If my boredom persists I'll likely end up buying things I don't really need for the RX-7 (like a lightweight driveshaft).

You and me both Jon...I had like 5 issues come across my desk all day......I am just doing my weekly snapshot for my boss and then I am ready to go home.
 
this week just gets better and better... opened both boxes of new headlights for the 3, one is flawless and i was pumped, opened the second box and tada!!! a ******* sedan headlight.... so now i get to fight the seller and try to get my money back and then go about getting another new drivers side headlight... ugh!

**edit: atleast the seller is cool and apologized and will refund me. still BLOWS cause i was so excited to be able to see again at night :/

It's been slow here too, alot of dumb issues by customers not sending in proper stuff and all I can do is send another letter.

Had Amber & Kennedy visit for lunch and it's the 3rd payday of the month so no insurance taken out on this check. Already used that on Mid-Ohio Tix though.
 
Got a lot done today on my day off. Got our approval to put our fence in, fertilized and weeded, and put on my Enkeis (finally). Just got to get through tomorrow and then I get to pig out on Easter. :)
 
My day went well. Sat on my ass all day minus 20 minutes to wash up some dishes. Oh, I almost forgot I vacuumed the floor too. lol
 
Heh, i'm just about to walk out of the office (after this email finishes sending). I've been here since 5:30am
 
I had a Grand Caravan that did the same thing and I ended up swapping out the pads and turned the rotors. Some sort of contamination I guess.

I know the rotors need turned as I started getting a vibration under light braking. I was thinking maybe some brake cleaner and compressed air might solve it temporarily.

So if my steering wheel has a light shake at low speeds taking off and stopping could this be the rotors?
 
So a small insignificant update on my headlight situation. I was at the dealership and asked the service department about it and they said they weren't sure unless they brought it in and that would be 65 per hour. The service manager then said we noted you have some little light or something in the headlight and it could be an issue. It's a strobe light not even wired into the headlight unit at all, it runs on its own. So anyways I went to the parts department to talk to associate of mine that knows Mazdas a little bit. He asked if I have ever heard of the body control module. I guess it's a little box that controls your headlights. An no I haven't by the way. He suggested this may be it but its 400 for a new one, and again to see if that's it, it would cost 65 per hour for the service department to check it out. He then asked if the taillights being wired like they are could be it and I'm not sure. I would say no as Fez wired those things like 4 years ago and I never had an issue. But if anybody had ever heard of the body control module let me know. I want my headlights back to normal so I can see good again. Thanks. Sorry for rambling on, using an iPhone to type it.
