joegodaToday I finally got up decided to tighten the last screw on my car. I drove it last night, and sure enough, it had a leak. I figured there was a screw loose, and I was pretty sure it wasn't in me. So that means I had to crawl under my car in the rain.
Now, I hate working under cars. I hate it specially when it rains. and is cold. and it is raining and cold. Sooooo I tried to find a way under my car, but at my apt complex, there just taint no way. I got in the thing and drove it to my brother's house, crawled under the car (cuz I could actually get under it there) and tightened the screw. It didn't want to turn. So I got a bigger wrench. It still didn't want to turn. I got a bigger screwdriver. It still didn't want to turn. And it was raining. On me. Am I whining?
So I put wrench on screwdriver and hey presto! It turned. and I tightened it to an inch of stripping it's threads. It didn't complain. Why should it? It was warm and dry.
I went into the house to get warm, spent a few hours playing with my neice and eating a bit of chicken. then I got into my car and drove home. It didn't overheat as bad as it has. I'm hopeful. There's still a lot of smoke coming from the tailpipe. Makes me nervous, but I'll stay positive. I've seen miracles happen.
Hey, Blessings to you all! Best of days and best of wishes.
