Buzzman25’s World

Well today was not one of those happy fun days. I went to school this morning and when I got there I heard a weird whirring noise coming out of my car. I went to inspect it and found that my power antenna for my radio was broken and the spindle of wire was continually spinning.

Once I got home I started to tinker with it but decided that it was way more work then it was worth to do it myself, so in I went to call the Oldsmobile dealer. After talking with them for 2 minutes I found out that It would cost me $169 just for the part. /laugh Shyeah-rrright! Money and I don’t get along right now, every time I seem to get some, it decides that it wants to move out. It’s a love hate thing I swear…

Anyways, I finally at 3:30PM decide that I better fix the problem since if I don’t, 2 things might happen. 1. The motor heats up and catches fire, thus catching my car on fire. Not a pretty thought. Or 2. it drains my battery leaving me tomorrow with a puzzled look on my face wondering how I’m going to get to school to take my midterms. Either route sucks. So…off I go to fix the car…

6.5 hours later…Wow, could that have been anymore difficult? My first plan of attack was to remove the antenna so that I could open it up and fix it. After removing a bunch of things, including the side panel of the front of my car, I finally got to the motor. When I inspected it I found that I could not open it up and tinker with it, that is, unless I was willing to destroy it and not have a radio.

Ummmm…..no.

I decided then that I better cut the power to it and would deal with it later when I have $169 to be able to blow. At that time then I WILL tear that thing apart and try to fix it myself to save me the cost of buying a new one, but will have the new one just in case I am not successful (I know I’m talented and good at machines, but I do screw up every 1 in 20 or so. ). I finished everything about 10:15PM, and was glad that I was done with that task, now I get to study for my midterms tomorrow…yay.
