Ack. I've been working my butt off on Hayley's car. It was leaking water out the radiator, then the water pump went kaput, so I changed those along with the drive belt and a battery cable a couple weekends ago. It was still leaking water, and i finally figured out that it was the radiator cap. Problem solved, right? Wrong. I had to replace the coolant temperature sensor, and when I did, I went all stupid torquing the new one in.
Crack really does kill. In this case, it killed my intake manifold. All you non-mechanics out there, that means I've got a lot more work to do and a lot more money invested in the bleepity-bleeping piece of bleep.
Oh well. I'm sure God's teaching me a lot through this. I mean, I actually laughed about it all on the way home from work tonight, and I find myself inexplicably happy about the challenge of my greatest mechanic task yet, even excited. Thank you, Lord, for trials such as these. Thank you more for Your guidance through them.
Yeehaw.
Just got done with:
And No, Hayley and I are NOT thinking about splitting up. Dang, people. Read the book.
