What important supplies do you always keep in your vehicle?

[freebeard]

"VW guy" went to Bonneville Salt Flats and back on clear premium by mapping out vendors in advance and having a 650 mile range.

Typically (the vehicle isn't really on the road that much) the driver side can is only fumes, and the shotgun side is filled to balance the weight side to side.

I know the seals are the weak part, but they're designed to be so they could be thrown off the top of tanks and not leak.

She originally talked about me driving to Palm Springs and my cousin meeting me at the airport.
My wife verified we could take Amtrak back, but my uncle hasn't seen Mom (or any of us) for over a decade, and hasn't met my wife, so they want to fly all of the way down next Monday, visit, and drive 700 miles home.

I'm not worried about Mom's car, I would drive it myself if I had the time, but he is 70 years old and 350 pounds, and there is a great deal of desert between Chandler and the San Francisco Bay Area.

My aunt kept asking for pictures and Mom kept promising to take them, but Mom has a habit of falling down, and of course driveways are concrete, so I planned on taking pictures as soon as I caught up with grad school.

My sister flew all of the way from California just to take pictures.

Sure.

She took the least-flattering pictures possible.

She got the damaged door that I have always said that I would replace, scrapes in the back bumper from the garage door, and allegedly more.

My snobby sister acted like she wanted our aunt and uncle to see the extensive damage, but there really isn't much, the car is in great shape for a 2006.

As I mentioned elsewhere, allegedly I had some deadline Monday or Tuesday, but I am still trying to meet the deadline from December.

I would have already, but my advisor refuses to say much outside of appointments, her schedule is pretty full long in advance, and I can't get much useful out of her during appointments, so I might not be able to graduate for a year [most recently] because I can't get useful information from her easily.

All of the information I have from the website:

Once the data is collected, students proceed to the analysis stage. For this assignment, you may employ appropriate statistical or qualitative analysis techniques based on the research design and data characteristics. Statistical analysis may involve descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, regression analyses, or other relevant tests, depending on the nature of the data and research objectives. For qualitative analysis, students may engage in thematic coding, content analysis, or discourse analysis to derive meaningful insights.

What to do:

Work with your RA to determine the appropriate analysis and deliverables for this section (tables, charts, examples).
write the result section (see How to Write the Result Section in Resources) with a detailed description of your findings
the Results section must include all deliverables determined with your RA
Submit a pdf file
Grading:

Your Research Advisor will review your submission
Note: it may require several revisions before being approved
Once approved, your RA will mark this product as complete

In short: Talk to your advisor.

If each professor is assigned 5-10 students, they need to give the same instructions 5-10 times.

Sure, there will be differences, but if they wrote the directions for the first student, they could modify it for everyone else.

Once I finally found enough people to participate in my study, she told me to learn how to create pivot tables.
Then I made pivot tables for each of my 20 questions.
You use pivot tables to make graphs, right?
I made 20 graphs and submitted it to her.
She perseverated about me talking to her in January (when I had 10 participants) and finally sold me to segregate the boys from the girls, so I made 40 pivot tables, 40 charts, and submitted it to her.
She perseverated about me talking to her in January and finally sold me that I followed Assignment APA, not Journal APA (although I can't find anything telling me how to publish to a journal).
She keeps saying she doesn't believe that I can put everything together in-time.
I can if she would just tell me what to do!

I don't know what I will be able to do with Mom's car, hopefully at least take it to an independent mechanic for an inspection, and to a place in North Phoenix with a Groupon for a $96 detailing (inside and out!).

Google says that it would take 37 minutes to drive there at 0027, so I could definitely wash, dry, and vacuum the car faster, but it would be nice to see the car properly clean for once.

I would also like to put together some stuff in case (Heaven forbid) anything happen between here and their home.

If nothing else, I could order a few things, and buy a bag from Marshall's.

I tracked down when I polished her headlights, a bit over 3 years ago, and they look as bad as before.

I tried several things, but toothpaste worked the best.

I bought a few kits, but of course, all of them are in Show Low.

I bought some 3m clear coat wipes, but of course, they are in Show Low, and it doesn't look like anyone wants to sell just a few.

Meguir's sells a 4-ounce can of headlight clear coat for $15.
Google says that Amazon would charge $6 to ship, but Amazon says it would be free, but wouldn't arrive until Friday.
I can walk into Home Depot tomorrow and buy this 12-ounce can for $6.

Anyway, I made many changes to my paper since finally meeting with my professor, with no idea when I will be able to schedule another appointment.

Apparently, I can't trust her schedule.

Twice, I have seen an opening, requested an appointment, and had her send me an angry e-mail that she wasn't available.

Did she wait for someone else to request an appointment?

So, APA format doesn't have us sharing all of our data, we pick themes, themes within themes, and examples for each sub-theme.

I am allegedly almost halfway through redoing my Results section, and I just keep getting lost among two pages of data.

If I can't figure out where I am this time, I will move onto the next theme, and return afterward.

Edit!
I tried to figure out where I was with my project and I have been relying on Google Gemini to help organize everything.

At one point, my project was 40 pages.

Well, before I found this thread, I searched Project Farm, thinking that he made a video about it.

Not quite.

He tested toolkits here and at the end said

I never drive over 100 miles from home without a decent toolkit with me in the trunk of the vehicle. In addition to having one of these tool kits, there are definitely some must-have tools that I highly recommend including in your tool kit. I really like this GearWrench three-drawer tool box to store extra tools in an organized manner, and this 20-piece GearWrench Drive Extension, universal joint, and adapter kit fills in the missing pieces for any of the kits. In a previous review on screwdrivers, Craftsman makes a pretty good set of budget screwdrivers for under $20. I highly recommend locking pliers in a toolkit, and the Irwin brand proved to be a pretty good performer for under $20 in a previous review. Irwin also makes a great set of diagonal cutters. We definitely want some needle-nose pliers in a toolkit. I definitely don't like to go cheap when it comes to water pump pliers, and I really like the Knipex brand. I much prefer a wrench or socket, but sometimes an adjustable wrench comes in handy, and the Crescent brand performed well in a previous review. If you don't carry a pocket knife all the time, a utility knife is a great tool for the toolbox. Sometimes a roll of duct tape is all you need to get through a bind. Some JB Weld is also a great option for an emergency repair. A roller wire is also a great resource for the toolbox for those emergency repairs. I always keep electrical tape in the toolbox because you never know when you're going to need it. Before I go on a road trip, I also make sure that I have a fully charged jump starter with a tire inflator in the vehicle.

YouTube doesn't punctuate that, so I had Gemini do it, so that is his contribution to my list of lists.

My aunt and uncle deducted plane tickets from what they had offered to pay her, but that was about all they had.
I replaced the battery, replaced the tires, got the oil changed, got the car inspected, bought yet another jack and jack stands, as well as a pressure washer, removed the splash shield, and didn't figure out the pressure washer, but as far as could tell, I removed all of the grease from under the oil and transmission pan as well as the surface grime on the transmission it self.

I wanted to use a brush attachment for my cordless screwdriver which would have reached into the crevices, but I forgot, and after spending Saturday and Sunday trying to track down parts--the torque arm is cracked, the steering arm boots are ripped, and the PCV valve may be bad--I didn't have the time to drive 30-60 minutes each way for parts, but my uncle is a Toyota master mechanic, and said that he would take care of all of it when he got home.

One of the screws for her glovebox came out back in Show Low, I took apart her dash to fix it, and two days later the screw came out again.
Mom said she would just live with it and I felt that it should be fixed properly, but how?

I added filling the hole with epoxy and tapping a new hole to my to-do list recently, but of course, I ran out of time.

My uncle said that he would loop a zip tie through the hole and then run the screw.

That sounds good to me!

I only really chatted with them while driving them from the airport to the MVD and then to the house.

While they visited and ate lunch, I hosed off the soapy water under the car, reattached the splash guards, replaced the license plate lights, bought new marker lights (one is out), topped off the tank, got a car wash, and spent several minutes vacuuming quickly.

Todd from Project Farm recommended a Kobalt 268-piece tool kit in a hard case, which they stopped producing, and I couldn't find details on it, but they currently sell a 267-piece one in a soft case for $150.

I had it delivered and the box was 5 times as big as the tool kit.
All of the tools were in a box in the bag and about half of the bag was empty.
There was a hammer and level and almost everything else fit in pockets with pockets left over, so 267 pieces are especially few, particularly when you consider:

I also bought the best Kobalt jumper cables Lowe's sold, 2-gauge.
I hope they arrive safely and the car serves them well.
