Seriously. 30 minutes of the time spent was walking back and forth from the house, with the voice in my head saying things like:
"If push comes to shove I can have it towed to the shop and let them install it." (Doing the math in my head)
"Jim, you're not the first wonk to install an alternator."
"Maybe I should go on CL and find a mobile mechanic." (Doing the math in my head)
"Dude, what else have you got going on today, just be patient." (Reminding myself I raised kids)
"Where's Nick? That facker is never around when I need a hand." (He phones me at 5P, two weeks after last I heard from him)
"If you don't get it in today, you're pushing it back into the carport space." (Visualising the struggle with my 5' 90lb wife pushing it from behind)
"Thank goodness it's halfway warm outside."
"Be cool. You tell people you exercise a greate degree of patience since owning this thing. Act like it."
"You're saving ~$1,000."
And, after finally getting in the bolts, looking at the car and in the Jesse Pinkman voice saying, "Yeah, b*tch."
