Nope, going on 12th day without a cell. 
Still trying to get over the fact that I lost my cell phone (1st time ever since I started carrying one around ~10 years ago).
I'm just waiting for the perfect phone. I haven't fully decided on a carrier, either, unfortunately (VZ = too costly, TMo = not enough nationwide coverage, AT&T = spotty coverage in Chi).

boy oh boy....
you have to buy some shiet?????
you have two options..........
Option 1:
Bolt extractor:
Pictures is one bolt extractor. they come in a set usually. like shown they are left hand threaded to catch in the direction of loosening a typical RH threaded bolt....which is what you have. you also have to predrill a pilot hole with a normal drill bit first to get it started.
I. measure the stuck bolt shaft diameter.. if the broken pivot ball is a 1/2" diameter then use half of that diameter and then get a pilot drill bit at largest 1/4"...so to be on the safe side, i would say get an extractor bit that calls for a a 3/16" drill bit pre-drill. that beats it by 1/16" and leaves more material to grab.
- The equation of .5 x diameter of busted bolt is a semi machinist norm so that bolt doesn't break apart in the part while trying to extract/drill it.
2. take your dammn time...pre-drill slowly, very very slowly..this should take you like 20 minutes ore more on a bolt that is taking..
- if you know what material of the broken bolt, ie Stainless steel, then use cobalt drill bit, etc...if its normal steel, then titanimum nitrate coated bit is okay. - read the instructions in the extractor bolt kit you buy, usually they tell you what bits are in there. if not prior to buying the extractor bolt kit figure this out. some kits come with plain black drill bits - weak sauce, some come with gold titanium nitrate coated bits, etc...
3. Don't forget to charge customer for the kit...lol...
OPTION 2:
1. replace the dammn tranny cover...fug dat..
2. replace the shift fork.
3. make customer by his own parts (Courtesy parts)...lol..
Done!
Have fun!

? 
Math makes my head hurt.
Unfortunately, I don't have a sim card either (costs $20) and I haven't fully decided which carrier. At the moment, I'm with TMo, so I'd have to jailbreak and whatnot to use your iPhone, which I wouldn't want to do to someone else's phone. I do have a phone (my old one) but no sim card. Just don't want to spend $20 if I'm going to switch carriers. Thank you so much for the offer, though.
You're still one of the most generous people I've come across.

I feel like a contradiction to myself cuz I really dislike apple products BUT I do like my iPhone lol
Added a new oil temp gauge. Its a Prosport 45mm, the closest I could find that would look close to the stock colots.
Used a Sandwich plate at the oil filter to mount the sender and tapped into the power and ground at the radio so very little extra wiring.

Hopefully, with Steve's death (as harsh as this may sound), their sh1tty business practices will also simmer down a little. Jobs did a wonderful and tremendous job for Apple, but not for the consumers, developers, or its competitors (although, they did some pioneering work).
what exact model was this one from? series...i need to get my gauges back up and going..

I think the 52 mm ambers would be close also. I went with the smaller one just to leave max space in the cubby.

If your building your own house. Take lots of pics along the way, I took a bunch before they sheetrocked and it's handy to be able to locate plumbing, wiring, studs etc later on.
