About 10 yrs. ago my 17 yrs. old at the time niece got to go to Europe, an exchange program for the super smart.

The reverse month day got her served in bars because they thought she was 18 like 8 months early. She told us a couple years later. Lol.
My buddy went to Italy and it was the same thing. I think they're all pretty lackadaisical about it over there anyways too. Meanwhile in China we sent my wife's 12 yr old nephew to get beer all the time. I think the actual age is 16 over there.

When I was a kid my grandmother used to send me to store to get her cigarettes.. that was a few years ago..
My mom used to send me for groceries and cigarettes (with a note) when I was 9.
And I got a dime for going which I spent on a gumband airplane that I'd play with for weeks.
This tiny little town actually had 3 little grocery stores within a few blocks of my house.
This has been a message from the good old days.

So I changed out the brake booster pump. What a shitty job. The brakes were f'n great at idle but no brakes at cruise (which is a real bummer). That means the brake booster (which simply stores the vacuum), is bad. Two bad in a row? Statistically less probable.

So now I'm taking a HARD look at my vacuum lines and I get out the vacuum tester. No vacuum is storing in the brake booster! Gee who hooked up that vacuum line with the ONE WAY CHECK VALVE pointing in the wrong direction.

We won't name names here but let's just say it was not me. Anyway my car has brakes and now I can use her for all the pesky around town errands and leave the car with the shiny hit me magnet home.

fuck my life
