Past Few Days - Post #450
Well my Most Played song updated to Green Day - When September Ends but anyways lets get to the reason why I was stressed.
Well most of the time I am the calm and laid back guy but Friday was just pure stress. Recently my Service Car Soon light has been on and I found it was a lightbulb problem so I went and got new headlights and to install new headlights on my car I pretty much have to take the front end of the car off. My last car was a piece of crap but changing the headlights was always easy. Three twists and you were done. BUt anyways I get the front end off and there are these things called a Retaining Clip that holds the headlight in It's this black ring. But as soon as I get it off the inside plastic pieces all break off. Right then is like shit I don't need this stress. It was friday night I had places to go. I was going to hit the gym and go hang out at a coffee shop. So I had to start making phone calls to car parts stores.
I called the first one Schucks and they were like call this parts store. So I called that parts store and they said we only carry those for older models you will have to call the dealer. But the dealer closed at 5:30 so I couldn't fix my car and didnt want to reattach my headlights and rebuild the front end again so I was stranded for the night. And people were calling me hey want to hang out. I am thinking I can't get there but now everybody is calling me. So I just stayed at home and watched my new movie Sideways on DVD.
Next morning I got up at 7:30 and took a shower and then got ready and called the car dealership said I need the two clips and they tell me that they have the clips they are $11.86 * 2 + Tax at 8.6% here in WA for a damn little plastic ring. So I get home and finish installing the bulbs and I could actually drive places now.
So Saturday I go to work and work till 8 and then I drive up to my Aunts House to go to this family gathering which was a going away party for my adopted cousin Alex she is going away to some private school in Boston. So my headlights are working at night and then I turn on the brights and my left headlight explodes. So today I have to go buy another headlight. That always seems to happen with me when I replace headlights. Last time I replaced my headlights in my old car I was driving with my new headlights and I hit a dog and it took out my headlight right after I replaced them. It always seems to happen with my new left headlights.
So I will get that replaced today and then hit the gym and live on. So that's what my issue has been with all the stress.

Remember not to touch the bulb with your hands. The oils you leave on the bulb can create a hotspot and do that. I'm sure you didn't do that, but just to make sure ;)
I probably did that but oh well. Hopefully Napa still has them on sale for $9.99
Yeah, make sure to hold it with a rag or something.
