Nigal 03:28:37 PM 12/11/03 ROFLMAO...that was completely unexpected.” 4:06:38 PM 12/11/03 “Not yet, got to wait another hour and a half before we can get in to the hooch. The owner of the company is having his annual open house here at work this afternoon. I gots the beer chilling on ice, and a few bottles of wine ready to uncork at a moments notice. I told my supervisor that I was going to have a beer in a couple of minutes and he got a little bent out of shape...of course, he's mormon so I won't have to worry about him drinking any of it.” 4:27:36 PM 12/11/03 “That is good.

What does that tell ya!” 5:06:50 PM 12/11/03 “A bunch of dicks?” 5:08:17 PM 12/11/03 “i take it beer-thirty has arrived! like, yeee haw! i don't know when our Christmas party at work will be, but i do know it'll be lame.” 5:13:43 PM 12/11/03 I need a beer. “I was supposed to pick up my car from the body shop tonight. I went out to my father’s truck (which I was barrowing) and the rear tire is flat. Of course none of the tire changing tools are in it so I cant change the tire. So I called AAA. They can't get here for an hour and a half. So now I can't pick my car up because the body shop will be closed. I need a beer.” 5:21:01 PM 12/11/03 “Some wiskey too!” 5:26:01 PM 12/11/03 “I hear ya lumberzac. My wife's van is in the shop. The oil light was coming on. Turns out there was a lot of crud in the oil pan and the screen on the pump was clogging. The shop calls around all over town, can't find the part, so they have to overnight it. $120, just for a damn screen.” 5:27:36 PM 12/11/03 “That reminds me!” 5:30:00 PM 12/11/03 The saga continues “Just after my previous post I got a phone call from AAA to meet them out in front (at the exit) of the parking garage where the truck was parked. The tow truck guy didn't want to drive the truck into the garage. I don't think it would have fit; the garage has an extremely low ceiling. Any way, we walked up to the second level. Well none of the tools were in the truck so the spare tire couldn't be lowered down. I told AAA this but they didn't relay that to the towing service. So we ended up just refilling the tire with air. I ended up having to stop twice to refill it on the way home. The auto-body shop was closed so I will have to try tomorrow morning. This hasn't been a good fall car wise for me. WARNING RANT ALERT! Let me start from the beginning. This October I needed new tires before winter. So I ended spending over $200 for four new tires. A week or so later my check engine light came on and my car started skipping. So I took a day off from work (and canceled on a canoeing trip) and brought it to the garage to have a diagnostic done on it. The computer said that one of the cylinders was miss firing. Easy enough I would just have to change a sparkplug. Wrong! To get to the plug you have to pull the battery out. So I do that but there wasn't enough room to get a socket on the plug. So I brought it back to the garage. It took them a half-hour to replace one plug. So that cost me 70 bucks for the plug and labor. Half way home the check engine light comes back on, and the car starts skipping again. So I take it back to the garage. They hook the computer up and another cylinder is miss firing. It turns out they switched the plug wires so it turned out it was a bad plug wire. Unfortunately they didn't have plug wires for my car. So I ended up having to drive it to a dealership to buy one. $20 later I'm on my way home to install the plug wire myself. I pull the battery and wire and find out that the dealership gave me the wrong wire. So I reassemble everything and drive across town back to the dealer. By the end of the day my car is back together and running fine. A week later I'm driving home from work and my check engine light comes on and the car starts skipping. So I go to the parts store and buy four plugs and four plug wires another $70. I spend my Saturday replacing spark plugs and wires. Two weeks go by and my check engine light comes on. Fed up, I bring it back to the garage. The coil pack ends up being replaced $180 just for the parts. The idiot light hasn%to pull the battery out.

November comes and we have a strong windstorm come through. Two trees fall, one on the back porch and the other partially falls on my car. This is the reason my car is at the auto-body shop. What next? The moral of the story, never buy four new tires.” 8:28:07 PM 12/11/03 “Now, where's my beer?” 8:28:51 PM 12/11/03 “awwwww.....sorry lumberzac......my story is about lawyers and paper work done incorrectly 4 times....but it will get better!!!” 8:39:04 PM 12/11/03 “omg I hate lawyers.... all of them but Chili of course.....” 8:39:47 PM 12/11/03 “Fix-a-flat. Never leave home without it.” 8:41:47 PM 12/11/03 “The worse part is I had an air compressor in the truck. Had I know all the tow truck guy was going to do was put air in the tire, I would have done it myself and my car would be sitting in the driveway right now instead of at the body shop. Phaedrus - Fix-a-flat, you mean the can of stuff that's sitting in the trunk of my car on top of the spare.” 8:47:43 PM 12/11/03
