MECHANIC: A Ford Fiasco · 2:12am Oct 27th, 2022

No, that's not Ford's new model.

It is the third vehicle for this customer I’ve worked on. One of his others is also the subject of a blog post, which I just now realized.*

But first, you know what to do! Grab a drink and kick back, we’re going on an adventure together!

MECHANIC: the B-Van and the Sable · 12:34am Oct 5th, 2023

Alrighty, kids, today I've got two different vehicles for you. Neither of them were particularly complex diagnoses, but both have cool pictures with lots of diagnostic wires added.

First, though, y'all know what to do.

This is short and not fully diagnosed, just as a fair warning. So I might not be entirely right in my diagnosis or repair (but I think I am at least close, for reasons we’ll get to).

First, though, I gotta have a picture to lure you all in.

Mechanic: Flex (tape won't fix this) · 12:54am Jun 18th, 2019

Short one for y’all today, ‘cause I’m editing and stuff. Also mandated overtime at work this weekend (a call-in), one of the residents didn’t return when he was supposed to and that’s a problem because there’s a court order, one of our new guys is taking the week off and my manager spent today being lazy and a jerk, and...

Oh boy, today was a day. Rather than give you a long, ranty blogpost about the two delightful comebacks I got to work on (one which had a failure which had nothing to do with what I'd fixed on the car previously and the other which had a recurrence of an issue that the customer had chosen not to repair the last time we saw it) or discuss the Ford Ranger that I'm diagnosing for a no-start (in the case of this Ranger, no-start is in everyone's best interest, because then the owner can't drive it

Nine Years · 1:18am Nov 3rd, 2021

So.

Give or take nine years ago to this day, I boldly created an avatar on GeneralZoid (IIRC) and shortly thereafter a FimFic account. I had ideas, and I wanted to share them with the world.
