Good shit: I picked up a set of ramps and a torque wrench yesterday, so that I could change my transmission fluid and filter. (Saturns have an easily-accessible drain plug, so if you own a Saturn and your mechanic tries to tell you that you need to pay him to use his fancy-schmancy vacuum-line system to flush your transmission fluid, either he is bullshitting you for money or doesn't know anything about Saturns. In either case, find a new mechanic.)

Bad shit: It did not occur to me that a 3/8" torque wrench requires a different set of sockets than the kind that come with an ordinary socket wrench set.

Worse shit: When I checked my bank balance today to make sure I had enough money for new sockets, I noticed a transaction for $31.99 at Bed, Bath and Beyond, dated yesterday. As enochsmiles and I are not allowed to go to Bed, Bath and Beyond by ourselves anymore, I was suspicious. Further investigation revealed that the BBB in question was in Conroe, TX (!), and that late last night someone had tried to charge a much larger amount at a pharmacy in New York.

Good shit: The NY pharmacy transaction didn't go through (insufficient funds).

Better shit: Not only am I not getting hit with an insufficient-funds charge, my bank immediately and cheerfully cancelled my existing debit card, is FedExing me a shiny new one, and is disputing the BBB charge since they claim they don't see it in their system. I have the most awesome bank in the entire known universe.

Even better shit: Despite not having access to my bank account, I had enough money in the coffee mug we use for change that ended up in the laundry to afford both train fare to the auto parts store and a shiny new set of 3/8" sockets.

Best shit of all: I have now successfully changed my very own transmission fluid and filter. Go team me!

Icky greasy shit: I am covered in transmission fluid. Next time, I need to be more careful about how close my hair gets to the drain pan.

Redemptive shit: I have a date with my shower and a bar of Lava soap. Mm-mm clean.
