So my car just broke down on my way to lunch. :mad: Now I get to spend the rest of the week dealing with stupid auto shops and bumming rides off people. I had the stupid thing looked at twice over Thanksgiving break, how does it break down now? :mad: :mad: :mad: What a great end to the semester... :rolleyes:

So the shop called earlier today. They say it sounds like a timing belt problem, so they wanted to go in to check. I asked him what the timetable was if that was the problem and he said Tuesday or Wednesday at the earliest. I told them to hold off, because I don't think the timing belt was the actual cause of the breakdown. So I'm going over to the shop tomorrow morning with a bottle of HEET and hopefully that will fix it. Otherwise I'm stuck in Houghton until Tuesday or Wednesday at the earliest... :mad: :mad:

The worst part is that me, my dad and my brother have tickets to the Wild game on the 23rd, so I need to be back in Minnesota in time for that game. If they don't get it fixed in time, I may be screwed because everyone is going to be gone already...

Is the car on fire?

Then drive it.

Except it shudders like its in an earthquake through at least first and second gear and pretty much whenever I stop.

I would have expected a timing belt problem to keep it from running at all, unless the belt slipped or something, then the timing could just be effed up. I would lean towards fuel system as my first guess, after what you just described.

Just hitch a ride home with someone, do you really need a car in Rochester?

On a bacon related note: how does everyone prefer their bacon, and what is your preferred bacon cooking process? I know some like their bacon burnt to a crisp. I'll cook it till crispy for sandwiches or if it's requested that way, but in general I prefer my bacon limp and fatty.

Foreman grill. Cook til crispy. Eat. Delicious. :)

Depending on how they're cooked, I could see a potato-bacon sandwich working quite well. Something like the cheesy bacon potato burrito at Taco Bell, but without the suck of Taco Bell.

I couldn't get through the first paragraph but it was hard to tell what was a paragraph and what was just a really ****ing stupid run-on sentence about how she's a goth that looks like Amy Lee with hair that probably gets caught in her crack when she poos, but I don't know if vampires ever have to take a dump and if it did it'd probably be rank, but she has limpid blue eyes and have I mentioned how much I hate the word "limpid"?

Bacon: if you can hold a strip up and it doesn't bend, yet it's still soft, it's good. :)

Potatoes are good.

BCE is indeed awesome.

Bloody Marys suck. Screaming Vikings on the other hand....

I like to buy thick cut bacon, and cook it in the oven on a broiling pan at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Cooks it all the way through, but doesn't cook all the fat out. That fat is flavor, folks!

Cast iron skillet, get it nice and hot, then turn the heat down to a little above low. Fill as much of the skillet with bacon as possible without overlapping. Turn occasionally, cooking until tiny little bubbles show up (or you think the bacon looks done). Done right, the bacon barely curls at all, and is nice and crispy. Can take a long time, though.

I think baking it or using a Foreman grill gives a similar final product, but just isn't quite the same, for some reason.
