I took luna and the puppy for a walk today; brought luna because she is a good Walker and stays by my side. The puppy walks like an asshole, I thought luna would be a good influence on her but nnnnnooooo luna thought she was going to walk like an asshole also so they both ended up getting in trouble.

The oldest kid is an asshole. She's so smart and capable, and that's not just my parental bias talking, but she's so ufckING lazy. She's got 2 F's, 1 D and two C's. SHE'S FAILING BAND....

I've had to spend my evening talking to her and getting her dumb ass straigthened out. HOPEFULLY SHE'LL DO BETTER NOW. WHAT THE ufckING HELL KID?!?!?!

Well ended up picking up a new battery for the truck. 1400 cold cranking amps for the first 10 sec. then drops to 900 after that. Also came with a 4 year replacement warranty. Let’s see how this one does.

As well installed the new headlight bulbs and some new wiper blades.

How the ufck do you fail band!?!

That said, I'm a C student for life. The key is finding something she actually wants to do so enthusiastic about it.

She won't turn in her practice logs and she ran out of reeds and WON'T TELL US SO WE CAN ORDER MORE.....

I lost it. I mean I absolutely lost it on her this evening. I had to come back and apologize for how I was speaking to her after I calmed down but livid is mildly describing it. I'm gonna have to sit on her damn head every night till we make some progress on this shiat.

That's just obnoxious. Makes me glad that my oldest is only 5. Not looking forward to belligerence.

Oh just wait, my oldest brought home a D on her report card once when I asked her about it she said she had some missing assignments. I asked her how the hell she had missing assignments when the teacher had them doing their homework during class.

Oh just wait for the joys of the overly intelligent ones to get bored and then just ignore the teachers....
I've got 2 and I'm only finally getting the last one out the house in a few weeks.... (27 and 28)

The boy is off the charts intelligent(189) but just doesn't perform academically. I think the reason for that was him pointing out to his prof at uni that his published work was incorrect...… He then proceeded to get bored again as he'd already read all the course work and moved on to more complex work within the first month and started presenting problems that were beyond his tutors abilities. Talking to him is a serious mental exercise. There are very few subjects he's not up to scratch on. Watching him question medical doctors is always fun.... He diagnosed himself with diabetes type 1 from his own symptoms....

It's been the same story since he started school. First parents evening, the teachers love him. He's quiet, respectful, an absolute delight. A few months down the line we getting called in because he's now moved on to correcting the teachers. This child of ours doesn't forget a thing.... Not eidetic but can be annoying.

His sister is always working her hardest and does really well, but like the rest of us mere mortals, simply inferior to the boy.....

Now you work out who's only just getting set to move out the house.... That's only due to us deciding to get a new beachfront home that's one bedroom....

Anybody near San Antonio that wouldn’t mind picking me up one of these? They only sell them at the headquarters and I would love to have one.

I'm not that intelligent but I passed my classes all on test scores alone in high school. I knew the material but didn't like the busy work. My Dad tells that story a lot.

My eldest brought it up once. "You didn't do your homework, Papaw said so!"

To which I replied "But I could pass the tests!"

Anyways. She's lost her phone and will not be allowed to just stay up in her bedroom like she has this school year until the grades come up.

How the ufck does one person breake appliances all the ufcking time. First dishwasher then refrigerator now the ufcking dryer we just got a few months ago. What really pisses me off is that they break the shiat then come whining to me that it needs fixed. If you are skilled enough to break the shiat you better be skilled enough to fix it because I'm going to go on strike until I start getting ufcking paid. Rant over.

That reminds me: I broke the toilet.

Not much done today. I use aCar to log my vehicle maintenance but since Fuelly bought it out, it's gone subscription based and generally ruined it.

Since I'm going to eventually have to upgrade my phone, I've been looking for a replacement. I found Simply Auto today and it's pretty good. Not nearly as nice as aCar but it'll suffice. Pro version is $5 or you can go SuperPro for $5/yr but I don't think I'm going that way.

I've spent most of my day dicking around with CSV trying to get my records to sync into the new app. Aggravating... I wish I knew how to program, is write my own damned app....
