Things you don't expect

A few weeks ago I bought a Volkswagen Jetta TD. I got my plates and was going to change them because previous owner didn't take off his plates. I was like, "OK this will just take a few minutes" I haven't been more wrong in my life. I started with the back license plate thinking this will just be a few screws or bolts. Something that I remember as soon as I looked at the screws and bolts and was like, "I don't have any tools my dad took them with him." Didn't stop me though, I had a few tools so I took them out. I started to loosen the bolts but I couldn't. I was getting pretty infuriated because I bought a car, insured it, and I couldn't drive it because I couldn't get a stupid licence plate off. I called up a friend to see if he could help me and he came thankfully after he was done work. In the mean time I took off the front license plate of which was a cinch I might add. My friend came and before I get into details it took us about an hour and a bit too take it off. The reason why it took so long is the bolts where completely rusted out. I had to take apart the back of my trunk to do this because the threaded socket, was spinning when it wasn't supposed to be because of the rust was holding the two together if that makes sense. That night figured out that everything isn't what it seems like, even taking a licence plate off.

Last time I talked about how I changed a starter on our snow blower, so an update on that is it works perfectly now. I'm able to start it up and do my job of clearing the driveway. This was a relief for me because now I don't have to shovel the whole driveway anymore, The snow blower is a great invention. You  know what people say, "Boys don't grow up, their toys get more expensive." I'm not saying that's true, but if it was, the shovel was cheap so I must be growing up. That's besides the point, what I really want to talk about is what I have done this time around.

This time, I took the tint off my window on my jetta which i really didn't want to do but my dad got a ticket because the windows were too tinted and what ever else they don't like about having tinted windows. I might put tint on again but just a lighter shade. I don't think ill be applying it during the time of the passion project because I just don't have the money for it at this point of my life.
To be able to take the tint off is really easy actually but takes patients and time. There are a few things that you need to have: a razer blade, some kind of steamer, and a tinted window. The reason why you need to have a steamer is the tint is glued on and without the heat the glue stick's too much.
