June 27th, 2023: Car Maintenance and Unclogging Pipes

Today was alright.

I had many errands to do today. First off, my grandpa's car broke down, and he managed to get a battery and get it working again, but I had to help him buy the other parts since he also wanted to replace the air filter and he had to get some new body fasteners for the engine splash. That took a large chunk of the day because we first went to one side of town, bought some incompatible fasteners which still worked, then we went to the other side of town to the other car parts store to get some more fasteners which were actually compatible. Then, after he bought enough fasteners to better secure the engine splash. After that, he told me to go with him one more time to help him buy a new air filter.

After helping my grandpa maintain his car, the bathroom sink was clogged, so I also had to help him fix that. First, I had to help him move everything from under the sink. Then, while he was unscrewing the pipes, I got a tub to catch all of the excess water. Then, it was discovered that there was a large blockage. He tried to use an old clothes hanger to get rid of the blockage, but it didn't work, so he had to go back to his apartment to get some drain removal fluid. At first, it didn't work, but after some time and more fluid, it worked.

Overall, today was pretty busy. Luckily, I still managed to finish all of my homework, I just need to do the readings, and I'm pretty familiar with those topics, so I don't think I need to focus on the readings too much. I hope I can focus on my drivers ed tomorrow!

Thanks for reading,
