Yesterday was an interesting day for me. We went to the DMV on my lunch break, so Jen could get her M class license, and coincidentally I had to renew mine before December. Things got weird then pretty quickly, took them forever to help Jen, and I was able to pass the vision test perfectly w/ out my glasses on. Now, I've never said I needed glasses before, but as I get old I get more and more dependant upon them. I already wear them 24x7 anyways. So I was finally going to confess my lies to the state of IL and have it put on my DL. So when I went up to the vision test, the guy asked me if I wanted to try it once first without them. Sure as shit I passed it completely. No idea how that happened. Then, on the way home, we stopped by Schaumburg Honda to pick up some parts that I had ordered. A replacement valve cover gasket (causing an oil leak, persumed from the 30k checkup they did) and brake pads for my front brakes. The cool part starts now. Since I've been having so many problems with the oil change they did on my car, they (Rob Hayward) comp'ed the price of the brake pads. Honestly, it's the first time I've walked out of there happy. Up until then i've never felt like really i wasn't getting screwed in some way, but it really put a positive spin on having to pick up the parts, and honestly it was just nice that the manager did it for me without my having to ask. Now I look forward to putting them this weekend. Got the procedure printed out from the service manual and Tim's gonna help me (he has jack stands...yay!). That should be fun.
