I just had my truck repaired again..
Took it into a ford dealer a year ago (time flies)  when I was traveling in 
Ga, and sick as a dog.
It suddenly started missing very badly, about 1000 miles from home.
He replaced three cracked spark plugs for $300

He didn't grease them, and he didn't re-loom the wires. He also didn't 
tighten them very well.
One of them unscrewed itself in operation recently, and they were all 
arcing under the boots enough to ruin the plug wires.
Some of the wires were shorting to ground where they had worn through, and 
others were just damaged.

Unfortunately, changing the plug wires on this beast is quite a job, and 
I'm pretty busy these days, so I had to pay to get it repaired again. ($200)

What with buying two houses, moving my office, cranking up my business, 
taking on a major rush project, commuting to the east coast for alternate 
weeks, becoming a grandfather again, and loosing my grandmother, I've been 
rather busy lately.

There was a time when I considered it foolish to pay someone to change my oil.
Then again, I also used to play games..


Embedded development is sort of a game, but the graphics suck.
