Mundane Life Experience #35,467: Chronicled Online via Bullet-Points for the Benefit of my Two Followers

As no one will ever read my blog, I might as well talk about my thrilling exploits this day.In order to make it more exciting, I will employ the favored device of corporate analysis at high-levels: the bullet-point.

I went to get a haircut today while I had the oil changed in my vehicle. It was also inspected to discern the unsettling rattle and squeak emanating from its undercarriage that had begun early last week.

The problem:

  • An exhaust heat shield had become partially unbolted due to rusting (it is an older vehicle, after all).
The solution:
  • Cut the shit off (this was their genius idea)
I was told that the risk from this removal is that if I happen to do some task that super-heats my exhaust such as racing people in my car (as oft occurs, BTW), and I happen to park on top of dry grass, the heat from the exhaust may ignite the grass on fire. This has created a new driving strategy:
  1. Don’t race people or allow my exhaust to become super-heated
  2. If I do allow my exhaust to become super-heated, do not park over combustible material
My hair was cut while waiting for my car to be fixed… here is a picture of the fine results (post nap, unbrushed and generally disheveled)

By the way, the red blotch on my forehead is due to my lack of grace leading to a rugburn on my head. I figure I should capture this at least once in order to remind myself at times when I have an over-inflated sense of value and self-worth that I am, at the core, a dumbass.

This picture provides me with three key takeaways (other than I should not have taken it):

  1. You should look at your backdrop prior to taking a picture and posting it online.
  2. I need to tidy my bathroom
  3. I should crop pictures of myself so that my grotesque body shape is either obscured or absent.

It is sad that I have a tag of “auto repair” that I have used numerous times on this site.
