Spent more than I expected to at Rock Auto

Just went in to buy a oil cooler lines for my '94 Caprice then got to clicking at all those clickables. Might as well get most for the shipping [:D]. Came across Idle Air Control (IAC) didn't know I had one and looked up what it did and I figure that needs replacing. Since I was in the area I also ordered a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). Probably didn't need this but new can't hurt [:D].
So I got few bits to R&R on my staycation 2 in July [:D].
Finally found some rubber Throttle Plate Gasket. The one I got to replace the stretched out stock one was this odd cut out paper one that makes a mess by blackening behind the throttle body. So I'll clean that whole area.
That reminds me I'll need to get some greaser and a small brush and a can of carb cleaner. We'll see after the R&R and cleaning the car will run [:D].

I ordered two ac compressors , two dryers , two condensers for the AC for my old pickups both the AC gave up with in a week of each other ,
I ordered for my wifes work car a accord spark plugs a iac valve head cover gaskets , spark plugs , catalytic converter
for our element a set of outer tie rods .
not to mention ebay for my old 8n ford tractor a new clutch and pressure plate , exhaust gaskets , sparkplus and wires .
new door handle for one of the trucks seatc covers for a couple and floor mats
oh ya a vacuum pump to evacuate the ac lines when I put all the new stuff on along with the r34a gas to fill them and of course a new o ring kits
needless to say I gained about a dozen of the rock auto magnet business cards with the customers cars like a collector set or series [B)][B)]
I am sure I left something out
like the new carbs for the weed wacker and chain saws . + some more but I am about asleep up with the dog to potty ..
I guess I am saying do not feel alone [:I][:I]
when my wife sees the CC bill ( we pay it off every month ) she will be lets just go with not happy [:D]
Right now, the list is mostly stuff for the "new to me" work pickup. Shocks, brake pads, radiator hoses, thermostat, belt--stuff that appears to be the OEM from 2004.
I picked it up yesterday. The bill was just shy of $1,000.
By mutual agreement -
The oil change lead to a faulty wheel bearing in the left front wheel.
It kinda needed new tires anyway. All the way around.
A test drive revealed warped brake rotors. (I knew about that, but just assumed it was due to the bad tires.)
On the plus side, it sure is nice now. [:D]
I took my van to my mechanic on Tuesday for an oil change.

Sounds like my last trip to the doctor[B)]
Rock Auto has good prices IMHO
He Dog - Get out? Dude that cost money. Not all Japos got fire crackers in their pocket and some of us are just trying to live fat on Top Ramen [:D].
Chase women? I think that's a felony in these parts [:D]. Besides I'm too tall for Japo girls and not white enough for the white girls. I just confuse Mexican girls. As for the sistas they just want some of this "yellow fever" in the "jungle fever". I'm more than a sushi roll, ya know? I got feelings. Besides in this day and age I'd be lucky 1/2 were genetically born female.
I need to get ready for the smog test. So this'll keep me busy.
