Damn it, always bad news for me.

So what's the story about Sonic tonight? Weather doesn't look good. I don't even know if I can drive the Z tonight. Feet and knees are bothering the hell out of me.

got my Z back up and running. my slave cylinder finally showed up today so I could finish the job. an hour to get everything installed. 3 hrs worth of f^cking around getting the damn thing bled. I bought a willwood HD master from zspeed. Joe from Zspeed is awesome! answered the phone everytime I called with questions (twice) about bleeding this SOB. for reference, the fork on the rod needs to be WAY out to get it to bleed properly. all sorts of other methods do not work including:
-gravity bleed
-traditional
-pumping slave cylinder
- using small oil can pump to bleed upward from slave

then it is just fine tuning till you get the engagement point correct. felt no more grinds, and my clutch pedal is beyond firm now... almost too stiff for my liking.

Good job, Aaron! Now do something about this rain! Come on, man. You're a farmer! Control this stuff!

Good thing we didn't go out tonight. Looks dark and scary out there.

Not when they're $40k...

Besides, happy wife = happy life. Plus I can sneak in some Z goodies. She's already cool with me spending $1700 for a new tranny. I also want HFC's and another exhaust.

I figured all this moisture was a problem. Good luck. It's a good time to be a pig farmer.

I think someone should remake this song and release it now. I'd like to see what kind of reaction it gets.

Not bad but they're still as expensive used as a new Grand Caravan Crew trim. Tara likes the Dodge van because of the stow and go seating. She's got her eyes set on one in Lakeville.

We don't mind buying used since we hold on to them for so long. Our current van is an 02 with 112k miles and still works.

Speaking of which, I have to figure out how to push out that dent in the rear bumper. I'm going to be working in my garage on and off today. Anybody can swing by if they want.

I'm also thinking of going around to the different dealerships just to browse. I heard there's a nice 370 in Burnsville.

That is the one we like. It's new and is priced below $26k with all the bells and whistles except for leather, which Tara doesn't want.

Bank of America sold my mortgage to Greentree Servicing. they have had my mortgage since 4/1/13.... and I have had nothing but issues making payments. they credit them to principal only then tell me my account is passed due. I have been dealing with this for two months now.. Heck I called on 6/14 to correct an issue with "passed due payment" that they supposedly fixed, yet today I get a letter stating my account is passed due as of 6/17.

payments are due 1st of the month:

payment due 5/1 cleared my account 4/11
payment due 6/1 cleared my account 5/17
payment due 7/1 cleared my account 6/21
^ anyone care to explain how my account is passed due?

Anyone know what recourse I have? Am I stuck with these fools unless I refi?

BoA had my account for like 6 yrs and I never once had to call them about payments. I have made 3 calls and an email today in less than 3 months.

and to make matters worse, check out the reviews/complaints on consumer affairs website
