First, discover that your car is making awful whining noises and feel it get all vibration..y when you turn corners. Come back home, call in to work saying that you are running late because you are automobilically challenged. Discover that your power steering fluid is bone dry. Get some power steering fluid and apply it liberally to your car. Then discover that you should have actually used transmission fluid because your car is just weird.

Second, finally arrive at work only to find that one of your web servers has been compromised. Spend the rest of the day trying to work out how it was compromised, why, and how you can fix it.

Third, come home, decide to grill some asparagus on your grill, and promptly burn it to really nice and crispy long straws of charcoal. Yum!

Stay tuned, I am sure that there is more to come.

Why should you have used transmission fluid?

Sorry for the crappy day. You need a hot bath and something to distract you.

Life sucks sometimes. Hang in for an improvement. BMW’s are weird.

The last time we cooked asparagus on the grill it got burnt. I ate a piece just to make sure it was bad. It was.

Kelly: Because although the user’s manual refers to the fluid as Power Steering Fluid, it requires that you fill it with Automatic Transmission Fluid as it actually does double duty. Very confusing for me, first time I had dealt with this issue, but I will know in future.

Mom: It rarely sucks too bad… and I certainly have no complaints, its just fun to bitch sometimes. BMW’s may be quirky in some respects, but they are still the Ultimate Driving Machines!

Chickie: Yeah, I am still waiting for the opportunity to say “Mmmm, that’s charcoally goodness right there!” Not sure, but I don’t think that is going to happen. What do you think?

Megan & Kitty Cats: Thanks! Yikes, Tequila - are you trying to give me a bad day after as well?!?! Tell you what, next time I get lemons, I will find a shot of Tequila and save it for you, and grab myself a beer. :)
