Haha if I ever find myself on that side of the state I'll have to try one!
Well it has been a couple of weeks and I haven't done much, just a bit of maintenance. I've been neglecting fixing my e-brake issue. I'm lazy and really want to just upgrade my calipers and rotors! I was driving down a smooth steady road two days ago when I heard a clank, shatter, and my girlfriend gasping. I looked over and my passenger mirror glass was gone. Wow, thanks S12, I'm trying NOT to look like a broke-ass in front of the girl-chick. Nothing says "classy" like shit falling off of your car.
I'm sure this looks familiar to quite a few members:
Luckily I still had my old saggy mirror with glass intact so I pressed it in today. Is there anyway to prevent that from happening? I also patched my tire.
I didn't take any pictures of the patches because that would be even more boring than these pictures of screw heads. Damn I really need new tires soon, look at the lack of tread!
Side note: Look who's truck I ran into at the local market
Trust me, there is a reason you shouldn't drive like an asshole: Spyderco, meet side-wall!
No I'm kidding, but to be honest, I was tempted.
Super awesome flame grill

This point on turned into a journal entry
sorry, no more S12 talk.
Sorry for the weak write-up, I'm frustrated. I love the area I am in, but I'm sick of the people and it's crappy services. Utah highway patrol's Trooper McMahon pulled me over in the DMV parking lot because my registration was a few weeks late. He told me my registration was late and I told him I knew and that's what I'm trying to take care of. He made an interesting assumption and said, "You act like it's ok? You act like it's ok?" I didn't say anything. He then proceeded being very combative. He took my information and my girlfriend and I shared a very confused look and I quietly asked her "what the fuck?" He comes back and asks, "Have all cops treated you unfairly?" I said, "No." And then he says, "What's the problem then?" I was super confused at this point because all I've been doing was trying to deescalate him and agreeing with him. I stopped making eye contact with him because I was getting pretty fucking pissed off, he hands me my information and a warning. I folded the warning down the middle and tossed it at my girl-chick's feet. He sticks his head in the window and says, "Well that seems pretty disrespectful, how about I take that back and write you a ticket then??" I just called his bluff and said, "Okay." He then proceeded to tell me he wasn't trying to ruin anybody's day, and told us to have a good evening. I wish I could remember more, he was clearly throwing his authority around and being a douche bag. I'm willing to say harassment, too bad UHP's offices are so far away I'd go complain to his supervisor. What the fuck Trooper McMahon?
The hurricane vet, Dr. Bryce, almost killed my girl-chick's dog because he didn't know what the fuck he was doing. The vet told her her to wash out the dog's ear infection with a mixture of soap water and vinegar. It got much much worse, she called to make a follow-up appointment and the secretary was acting annoyed, "Really? With the ear again?" So my girl-chick took the dog to a recommended vet. He told her that soap-water is actually really bad for infections, use a neosporin and keep it as dry as possible. What the fuck Dr. Bryce?
Also, my girl-chick went to get her second tattoo, and the tattoo artist, Rick, is a douche bag, he is biased, unprofessional, and made several mistakes on the tattoo. He mis-spelled a spanish word and pretended not to notice. He also flipped the image horizontally when it was intended to face a certain direction. He charged her 250 for 2 hours. We went to a recommended tattoo artist to touch it up and fix it, his folder of before and afters just happened to have some tattoos that Rick did. How ironic. He said that there's no way he would have tried to do that size of a tattoo in 2 hours. He said the retouch will take at least 5. What the fuck Rick?
All I am wondering: how are these people still in business, or still have jobs? I've felt really picked on the last couple of months. Some people. Regarding the police officer, It probably doesn't help that I look 16, and my gf is hispanic, Southern Utah is the most racist and judgmental place I've ever been. The most "nigger" jokes I've ever heard were actually at a church event, my good friend's farewells and homecomings. From their parents of all people. I am surrounded by LDS, which shouldn't be a problem, but the views really irritate me and my community can't keep them to themselves. My good friend Austin came back from his mission telling my other buddy Heath that black people are cursed, and mexicans "aren't as bad." I'm glad he didn't say that to my face. Because seriously, what the fuck?
