Events in my life
13 years ago
I have come to eat your soul.
Looking back at my life I got a few things I rememeber.
1981 I read my first furry comic, and found a RPG I like that had a furry like race in it that was well done.
1986 With my mom starting to work colleges and my dad getting promoted to Dept Commisioner of NYPD, and me in High School as a hard core metal head. I got introduced to BBS boards, and found the fandom there. I started working to try and help promote things in it, artists, furmeets and such. Though I never took credit for it just passed the word.
1995 True internet, got on FurryMUCK for a time as well as Taps, still on the latter.
1996 - Helped found FurryFaire MUCK, which no longer exists in any shape or form.
1997 I joined the US Navy, biggest decision of my life, and one I never regretted.
1998 Deployment to Bosina, only time I had to kill someone, and it was point blank to the face... not a moment I want to repeat. I also needed my finger tip sewn back on.
1999 Left the military, and went to join my folks in Florida, lived with them for about 5 years, then moved to Orlando for about 5 as well. I also had a fight with my mate at the time.. got tired of her trying to manipulate me... I still think fondly of Chantico though.. I think it scared me though as I find it very hard to try and settle down with another since then.. and been having alot of bad luck with them as well.
2008 ~ 2009 WHent homeless, yea I managed to get the semi-truck driving job, but still living out of a truck is not a home.
2010 - WHent Crux, got tired of the folks judging me by appearance and I want someone to like me for me.. Crux proved the best way to do that.
Current - Last year I almost went homeless again, but I got a job and found some folks willing to take me in. Car broke down about 3 weeks ago, but I got the money to get it towed tomorrow to a place that will check it out for free. Just hoping it's a cheep and easy fix.

Sometimes I wish I had found the fandom much earlier. Even in college and many years after. When I finally found it, I knew I was a furry from a very early age.

Did you make a FA post about your car? There are a lot of knowledgeable folks around here who could make an educated guess what is wrong and how much it might cost to fix.

Never did, I tried the local fur list, but the advice was spotty at best. I do have it narrowed down to either a solenoid or starter problem. I did look to see if I could find the starting using a repair manual as my guide, no luck.

Starters are, as a rule, easy to DIY. It's normally a couple bolts and a screw or two, but there are plenty of exceptions, including some cars that make you take the whole engine out to get at it. Hope yours isn't one of those. :\

It's a 94 Toyota Corila with the 1.6L engine. I need to remove the air assembly that covers the filter to get at it then remove some part to get at it according to the book.
