Here is a really bad I fail!!
Labor Day weekend. It starts out with getting out of bed . I had
a fricken kink in the middle of my back I couldn't move. I was
able to pursuade my wife to massage it a bit and then I asked her to try
to crack it in ....Ok so I thought it was a good idea.. She poped it in
but at the same time broke 2 ribs. Trust me you could hear both pop.
Well I had targeted this day to work on the wife's car , Chev Lumina.
Brakes. Well it sounds easy enough .. I was doing rotors and pads. So
I thought I had the right special socket to pull out the big pins but I was
mistaken, Had to go to town to get the right one. Well I was unsure of the size, U walk into A Up urs Zone and ask if they can help me ..Of coursenot. So I buy the closest 2 that I think they are.
I stop on the way home get the family some lunch from the grocery store.
I go home.
I eat then go to break loose the big pins and I snap my 1/2 " drive to 3/8" impact with the new socket . I break another one I had also. I had this big ass break bar on it to do this .
I'm like GOD Damn it , broken rib and broken tools what the hell ? Talk about pain....
TRust me this gets better.
I tell my wife I need to go to town to get another new socket. I start looking for my wallet......And I look and look and look. NO WALLET
NOw Iam very hot and feel like the world is against me .
My little brother shows up and I say don't ask whats wrong just drive my ass to the car store. I go into my other car to get the other socket I didn't need earlier and Igrab the bag it is in and it has a hole in it and out falls the socket right out the door and in to sewer grate next to the car. UUUGG
So I go to town hoping that the car store found the wallet or the grocery store did. I had 150$ in it in cash for Mother's day gift and taking her out to eat. NO luck I failed SOOOOO bad that day .
I would go home with no wallet and put the car back together and called it a day and took it to the garage on Monday.
I did have the wallet returned 2 days later . All credit cards there no money it was all gone . I can handle that .
Fail would = oil change , use my brakes put them in , new pin old one
frozen in the car+ new serpintine belt and tensioner = $182.00
Lost cash 150$ and broken rib x-rays .......WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
SOME DAYS IT DOESN'T PAY TO GET OUT OF BED!
