My rearview mirror fell off the inside of my windshield again today, after I already repaired it once within the last couple of weeks.

I’m also about to lose the third replacement door-latch handle in the past year on my driver-side door. Nothing I’ve been able to do to resolve the problem with the door-latch mechanism has worked for more than a few weeks — and most recently it hasn’t worked at all.

I’m going to have to take these measly annoyances to a professional to get them fixed once and for all, and if I have to do that I might as well also have the bad fuel-gauge sending unit replaced so I can see how much gas I have in the tank instead of estimating from the tripometer.

That last problem first appeared six years ago when the fuel pump failed and our mechanic had to dismount the fuel tank to replace the pump. The sending unit is also in the tank, so…

Having these aggravations fixed would make driving a 14-year-old truck more tolerable, but I wouldn’t mind just getting something a little more low-maintenance. If we could afford it.

I wonder how much I’ve spent already to keep this truck on the road.

And while we’re on the subject of annoyances, I’m also fed up with idiot websites that change the size of my browser window. There’s no excuse for that bullshit.
