Picture mostly unrelated
Apparently my method of coping with a particularly hellish commute was a bottle of soju. Apparently my method of coping with a bottle of soju is to order $1,700 of car parts and then work on plumbing.
Ok I actually remember all of this, but it does seem pretty crazy in the light of day. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks going back and forth on exhaust headers and attempting to cost-optimize my Alfa upgrades across five vendors. Well I got sick of it last night and made the following orders:
Koni Classic Shocks - Vendor: Koni - $205
Center muffler - Vendor: RockAuto - $85
Motor mounts, rear muffler delete, ceramic coated performance header - Vendor: Centerline International - $660
Ball joints, bushings, drop links, spring feet - Vendor: Classic Alfa - 355 GBP
Lowering springs - Vendor: Vicks AutoSports - $200
Honestly, it feels nice to have it done, but my wallet is certainly feeling a little lot lighter.
I could have bought almost everything from one or two vendors, but the prices and quality seem to vary wildly, which is how I ended up with five freaking vendors. I really do wish there was a “one stop shop” but oh well.
Now I get to learn how to install... all of that crap!
Oh and now all the toilets in my house are dual flush. Because that is also a thing I did last night.

That it is some productive drinking. I replaced a toilet for my parents last year, and I was astonished by the sheer number and variety of options there were at Home Despot for toilets. Between that and the marketing for them, my inner twelve-year old was barely able to keep it together. Had I been drunk at the time, I probably would’ve been asked to leave to the store.

Wow that is a lot of good accomplishments. My productive drinking usually only involves doing the dishes and sweeping the floors.

Haha indeed. Luckily I bought a couple dual flush conversion kits a few days ago, so it was mostly wandering into the bathroom and making a mess. Wait no... that came out wrong...

Yeah I prefer it to come out correctly when I wander into the bathroom

This is exactly why my friends take my internet privileges away when I’m drunk.
