You'd be proud of me, E. I actually bought a small kit for my car w/ socket wrenches and torx $15 at Pep Boys (since I had to wait out the rain last Saturday).

Turned out to be well worth it for sure. Was able to do some other stuff just having that small set.

OMG, John. Completely forgot you could throw out some tagalog phrases, but now that I think about it, you're actually writing it. Better than me. My writing/reading skills in tagalog are horrible (w/ more complicated phrases, obviously).

I'm gonna be messing with MJ's taillights a 'bit.

As long as you do it with a Gerber!

To my memory, that is actually a name brand of a very popular multi-tool knife. Yes, Splinter, there is a real life tool you can give to a baby.....I had to get some GnT into the night to know what in the world you were saying...

Yup. I know what Gerber's are. Great multi-tool, but very pricey. Lots of military personnel use it according to my cousin who served in the Army National Guard (MP Division).

The 2am bit had to deal with us trying to convince our neighbor that there's no such thing as a perfect car/diamond/couch/makeup thing... I don't know, MJ used all the analogies.

Pointless discussions regardless.

Hahaha...Yeah, I'm sure that's why she was sticking around, Jose

In all seriousness, what were the snags you ran into?
