AutoZone allegedly didn't have a UV leak detection kit.

Their site shows otherwise, but their monkey said they only had refrigerant systems, which was all that I found going up and down every aisle in the store 3 times.

People say that you can find leaks just by cleaning the component, but this is easier--especially since you don't need to clean it first!

I spent hours cleaning!

I had really hoped to put dye in the engine and transmission, crank up the heater, turn on the defroster, and help dry and air out my car while telling the leaks "Warriors, come out to play!"

Edit! I ordered it off of Amazon because I couldn't find a decent deal that shipped faster elsewhere, but it won't be here for at least a week.

My brother's new recliner was supposed to be here yesterday, but is still processing.

Walmart claimed that the last popcorn that I ordered for my brother's birthday arrived today, but we never saw it, and nobody walked up that hour. Walmart says that if you cannot find it ask your neighbors and wait 2 days. Sometimes there is premature annotation.

If my neighbors received it they ate it before I saw the notification.

If their deliverer reported it delivered before actually delivering it then that is their problem. I requested a refund, but since it is third-party, Walmart requested a refund, and the vendor has 48 hours to consider it.

Great.

I complained extensively and they gave me a $10 credit.

I ordered the Reece's Pieces popcorn off of eBay for 57% more, but it is supposed to arrive sooner than Amazon.

I ordered epsom salts for my brother and they are delayed, but those were just one-pound bags for when we visit my sister, so that doesn't matter.

My carpet cleaner is somewhere in Arizona.

Supposedly both of my sisters received the cookies and cream popcorn that I sent them, but neither of them mentioned it, even when I brought it up.

Why do I do nice things for them?

My brother likes to collect sports stuff. He keeps asking for baseball bats (and toy guns), but considering how messy his room is, I hate the idea of getting a baseball bat in the shin.

He periodically pulls out a flat ball and a hand pump, but the hand pump doesn't work. I took it apart and the gasket was broken. I couldn't find any of my gasket kits. It was too late to buy another gasket, so I asked him to leave it out, and he immediately put it away.

He tried again tonight, so I tried to pull up hand pumps on Amazon, but of course, most of those are Chinese and\or false positives.

I opened 4 windows with name brands, deleted everything else from the windows, tried to move each tab to one window, but they just disappeared, and I couldn't get them back.

One brand I found was Wilson, but Wilson wasn't an option, so I didn't specify brands.

I just deleted all of the false positives and Chinese products.

With 25 results per page, I only had 1-4 left, so I tiled those, and had my brother pick.

I sure hope he likes it (and that it lasts for a long time), I spent too long presenting his options!

I received my saw guide last night. Amazon claims that it delivered my timing belt kit on July 6th and my head gasket kit July 3rd.

I opened the timing-belt-kit-shaped box that weighed as much as a timing belt kit that has been next to me since July 6th and guess what? It was a timing belt kit!

I found the head gasket kit on my work table in the garage. I absolutely do not remember receiving it. Clearly someone else picked up the package and put it there.

My evil twin?!

Or am I the evil one?!

When I find the wingnut tool I will put everything in the trunk of the 2002 Civic.

I need to finish going through the replacement thread and try to track down that weird tool.

I washed dishes for 4 hours on Wednesday and ordered an anti-fatigue mat.
