I started this morning out the wrong way. My wife Tammy had a compensation hearing & went out to start the truck & nothing happened. I had all kinds of juice but nothing to the starter. After looking it over closer, I had found that the cable that hooks to the started had corroded off.  I called Napa to see about parts & they had the replacement end I needed, but our 2nd vechile is not in great shape. So ended up driving slow into town to buy a $1.50 part with another vechile that needs help too. Something sooooo easy to fix, but yet SUCH a pain !!!!! It seems it's always something !!! |

That is a real pain Tim!  Been down that road many times just trying to keep a vehicle running. Today it was working outside in the high winds and snow, zero and below wind chill, trying to get the darn snowblower working!! Am only getting drive to one wheel and it's a real pain going up my steep driveway with it. Gotta keep pulling to the left all the time. I'm getting too old for this cr*p!!! |

Well fellas,
I am still waiting to move to dayshift!!!
This morning after working all night out in that weather I stopped at the deli for a coffee and when I attempted to start my Jeep I snapped the key off...I got a little PO'ed and used my trust-rusty hammer and screwdriver and pounded the old cylinder out and now I am using the screwdriver to start my Jeep. No sense in cryin....
I have seen 10 year old kids on the COPS tv show do that in 15 seconds...It took me about twenty minutes, alot of pounding, a little bleeding, and plenty of swearing...But the old girl fired up.
