Jared showed me this article that interviewed an ex-customer service angent from Charter:

As for Gates, how did she handle customer questions she couldn’t answer?

“You want the honest answer?” Gates says. “I hung up on them. That’s why I left. I hated what I was forced to do.”

I can’t stand Charter, and this article is living proof that there are more people the share my discontent with the media provider.

I’m surprised more male cardinals aren’t gay:

The female cardinal is really ugly.

Well, I got my new starter for the SV today. The bike still wouldn’t start. So, I had to do a bit more troubleshooting. I decided I’d crank the engine by hand with a breaker bar to see if it would even turn, and it did. So, I thumbed the starter and once again, it didn’t start – but it did turn a bit!

So, I drove the VW into the front yard right up to our front porch and hooked up the jumper cables. With a bit more coaxing by hand, I finally got the engine to turn over. A couple of blips to the throttle and it’s back into it’s regular running condition. Unfortunately, I sprayed oil all over the front of the house:

Oops!

Well, just a few more odds and ends to tie up and it’ll be back on the road.

And just to keep up with my picture posting promise, here’s a Storm Trooper doing a wheelie:

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, and if you didn’t get a chance to do so, don’t sweat, I’ll probably have another birthday in a year or so.

Unfortunately, my jacket was taken by mistake or on purpose at the rail on Saturday night, and in the pocket was my wallet and car key. Luckily, I was carrying my ID and cash in my pocket, so the loss isn’t that bad.

Hopefully, my jacket will be returned with my wallet. It’s not like the culprit has much to gain, as we all know about my car and it’s “problems”. If not, I have a spare key at home and my wallet is replacable.

Apparently, the Gorgatron is taking the loss pretty hard (she just grabbed my by the face and licked me in the nose), so I’ve gotta go. Thanks to all that wished me a happy birthday.
