cabbitzillaThe truck sits in Crystal and Kelly's driveway. The repairs were unsuccessful and were followed by near-total brake failure. I nursed it 'home' (I spend so much time at their house that it feels like home now) and got fussed at by 'mom' and 'dad' for driving it at all.
Yeah, they were right. I'm an idiot sometimes. Four or five pumps of the brake pedal gets something akin to actual pressure in the lines... and it's not the first vehicle I've driven with a failed brake system (yeah, I was a fscking idiot then, too). I've ended up at work five and a half hours early because of needing to catch a lift in with Crystal, and she'll be stuck here two hours late waiting for me to finish my shift. And tomorrow we get to do the same thing. Joy. Rapture. She'll have to come in early tomorrow in order to get me here in time for my shift, which just adds to the general suckage.
We've got the failure 'narrowed down' to either the brake hoses in the wells, the master cylinder or the ABS system... and that's in order of least expensive to absolutely horrifying. I'm praying it's the hose on the left side, but we didn't have enough light to actually check them last night; at 2200 on a rainy night there's just not enough light.
I'm so very tired.
