Good morning.
Woke up nice and early today.
My girlfriend took a vacation day and was here when I woke up but has since went to get her hair done.
My new phone is totally pointless as my old one still works just fine even though Mint Mobile insisted that it would no longer function and pressure me into spending hundreds of dollars on a newer model.
Quite frankly I am pissed and ready to return it.
A couple days ago my girlfriend took her car to the mechanic because every time she fills it up the damn thing spudders and stalls after which it runs just fine.
Being broke down on the side of the road is scary enough but put a kid in the car too and it makes it a lot lot worse.
On the phone the mechanic assured her that he knew what was wrong and to bring it in and he would fix it.
Cost $130 and I'm pretty sure that if he even did anything at all it was replace a $20 or $30 solenoid.
She picked it up yesterday and immediately got gas in it only for it to happen again.
This morning she was all worked up stating "I'm going to trade this car in and get one that actually works. blah blah blah"
I tried to inform her that the problem with new cars is that their problems are not documented yet and it is impossible to know what to expect to break and when.
A quick google search brings up many pages of people ranting about having the same problem with the same car and it's probably vapor lock for whatever reason.
I told her it's not really something to fix by just replacing anything as that is the way the car was designed and the only real fix would be a modification.
I don't have any experience beyond replacing a fuel enhancement and am unwilling to do anything about it.
The best solution is to keep the car running while getting gas and forget about it.
Next week I'll do my best to remind her to leave her car running at the gas pump and we will see how it goes.
Given the fact I woke up a bit early today you would think I have some sort of plan or goal in mind to end the week strong but I do not.
Everything I felt like doing this week I already have so instead I am taking it easy.
I'll be going into work early as usual in hopes of getting a bit more OT on my next check.
Also, I am starting my hire on process this weekend so very soon I should be making another $5 an hour.
I'm excited to get it all done and squared away but I already know it is probably too much to dick with before work so I'm going to wait until the weekend.
Speaking of this weekend I do have a couple little things in mind to go do although it's nothing crazy or anything as we both are in need of some down time. I'm sure I'll post about what actually happens when it does happen.
In the meantime I hope everyone is having a great Friday and is ready for the Holiday weekend.

Today I went grocery shopping before work to get a few essentials to keep us going into the weekend.
Tomorrow my new dual screen phone case should arrive and I will start to use my new phone whether I'm ready to or not.
Other than making some returns to 3 different stores, I've pretty much accomplished all my goals for the week.
So long as I go into work early today and tomorrow I should end the week feeling fairly good about myself as usual.
This weekend I need to figure out something nice to do for my girlfriend as it is her birthday and I would like to show my appreciation for all the hard work she does.
The only thing I can remember her wanting is something I have to take her to go get as I can't really pick it out so we have that to do.
Also I'm sure that this weekend we will do more grocery shopping and some needless shopping too.
It's suppose to be hot all weekend and rainy on Saturday which is fine I suppose as it will give us an excuse to do inside stuff.
Not sure what I'll do on Monday with my day off.
Not planning on going to see fireworks as I see them all fucking day and night living where I live now.
Hope everyone is having a great day.

Was up late last night working on my new phone.
Still have more to do with it but hopefully I will be done soon.
Work has been a little busy this week so I'm glad I chose this week to work OT.
This morning I paid off my credit card balance and ran the trash out to the alley.
I'm pretty much ready for work now.
Eating some breakfast and making a quick stop or 2 on my way in.
Tomorrow my goal is to go to the grocery store before work.
Hope you all are having a great day.

How do I flash my phone?
Anyways, I feel like I got pretty far and downloaded a fuck ton of fuck testing this and that but I try to download the kdz file and it shows up as a 6gb file called 12115 or some shit but the LGup software is looking for a bin file and anyways, I made a video of what I have done and tried thus far.
Will post as soon as it uploads.

My new used phone came!
I ordered a dual screen case for $139
Total cost of the phone is right at about $350
I spent more than I wanted to honestly but even if I only keep it 1 year that is still less than a dollar a day for the hardware.

My new used phone came!
I got my LG v60 Thinq today from ebay.
At first it said it was locked to verizon or some shit but I fiddled with it a little and set up a new APN and did a test call to Dominos Pizza and it went through.
So I guess it works fine.
Anyways, tomorrow I'll make some calls and have someone call me to make extra super duper sure everything is crispy.
I'm about to take it off to bed and set up as much stuff as I can figure out how tonight.
Tomorrow if all seems solid I'll order my dual screen case and a screen protector.
Hope all you are well.

Go grocery shopping before the weekend.
Do an oil change or something to my crappy old car.
Fix the hole in the sink.
Return some crap to the hardware store and to ebay.
Get my new phone working.
Try to be a better person.
