Defeated

I loathe putting forth an effort and not making any marked progress.

Roger and I tried some new brake drums on the read brakes, but they wouldn't fit on the spline correctly. Had to take them back and get a new set from a specialty shop.

Tried to change the transmission oil, but Roger's solution fell short. The Beetle requires a 17mm hex tool to remove the drain plug and the fill plug. You don't find those at the corner store. So I have to order one of those from a specialty shop, too.

A drive to Roger's, two hours of labor, a drive home. Nothing to show. I'm defeated.
