So my old F-150 is nailed in the side, then my son's Acura is in a wreck, now my wife's 5.0 has a slipping AOD transmission. The F-150 is headed for a frame shop, the Acura is IN the frame shop, and the Mustake will have to wait. We're doing the sheetmetal work on the 2 wrecks, (want to guess how many spot welds hold the core support on an Acura?), but I hate automatics, and won't work on them. I have 2 project cars I've been drooling to work on, but the everyday drivers take priority. Maybe I should lease a Toyota Echo. I did buy another F-150 to take the place of the broken F-150, but we're running out of cars! Did I mention that I loaned my riding mower to a buddy who blew it up? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Thanks, I feel better now.
I'll go have some coffee.

That's the kind of year I'm having too. Luckily there haven't been any wrecks, but the widespread and overlapping breakage on nearly everything I own (including the daily drivers, tractor, appliances, house, etc) from flooding, lightning, random failure, catch-22s, etc, is starting to get REALLY old.

Throw in my wife's health problems, and I'd really like to become an alcoholic but just don't have the time (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
