Oh God dammit.

Is it still a win if I already bought the parts to do another one so I have to do that one too even though I know how much it's going to suck?

Still trying to decide whether changing the spark plugs on my wife's Outback is a win or if I should have just paid a shop to do it. Cylinder 4 took various combinations of 3" extension, a swivel joint, and two different 14mm sockets depending on how far in the plug was threaded. And that was just the nonsense I had to deal with after managing to get to the plug.

I completely get why the shop quoted something like $700 for plugs.

My hands and back hurt.

Possibly the strangest first world problem, but it looks like I was awarded three patents recently. I thought I had two still working through the process. I have no clue what the third one is and no real way to check until it pops into something publicly searchable.

So, if I had a nickle for every surprise patent, I'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot, but it's strange that it happened twice.

This has been my route for the few YouTube videos I watch on my phone.

When I was a manufacturing engineer back in 2016 I ended up on a conference call between maintenance, myself, and the manufacturing engineer that programmed the equipment 2 timezones over. I walked maintenance through the physical set up while on my couch at home, but couldnt find the position reset button in the program on my laptop for a servo drive so I called up the guy who programmed the machine to ask if he could remote in and click the button, also from home.

I managed to fix my headset mic. For some reason Windows decided to turn the volume on it down to 7. No clue why.

Plut-oooooooo after that one horse?

My work headset mic is broke again apparently. I have to use the mic built into the computer which works, but I don't like it nearly as much. Not sure why the headset mic randomly decides not to work for a month or two and then start working again.

Yesterday suddenly got very expensive. Expected to replace TMPS sensors in my wife's car. Instead picked up a roofing nail in a non-repairable spot and suddenly need 4 new tires because AWD.

Maybe I should go for president. I was born in the US and over 35. What would my chances be as someone with zero political experience and a mechanical engineering background? Enough votes to need both hands to count them?

If I'm reading his Wikipedia article correctly and remembering presidential requirements correctly he actually is.
