When it rains, it pours

At least that's how it seems to me lately. Something always happens when you get a little money put up.
Started out with my battery going bad in one of my trucks. There goes eighty bucks for a new battery.[B)]
Then the brakes on the wifes car starts squealing. They needed to be changed. There's another forty bucks.[B)]
Then low and behold, my other truck had to join in on the action. The fuel pump seems to have bit the dust. Kinda lucky there. Only another fifty bucks.[B)]Still haven't tackled that project yet.
Think it all stopped there? Hell no. Bathroom toilet decides to start leaking. Only twenty bucks for the repair kit for that project, though. All of this happened this week, and it's only Tuesday!
I was going to go and try to plant a few food plots this weekend, but not now.
Guess I'm done for now. Still don't feel better though.

    Be happy, my catalytic converter on my car just became plugged on my way to work. When I hosed it off to cool it down tons of steam came off it. I had one car burn to the ground from this one. The drive home is going to be interesting. Tomorrow I'll have to drop the $500 bucks to get it fix, yay! Oh and this is the third catalytic converter this car has needed in the last 7 years.

    In florida theres no inspection on cars, i see cars sometimes with no mufflers, no cats, jut headers and a couple foot long piece of pipe.

    lol, actually, florida beats delaware for scenery and entertainment, but if i was going to raise a family or something like that, i would move back to delaware.

    All catalyic converters have a 120,000 mile warrenty. Check with your dealer. Dad just got the check in the mail for the one on my mom's car. I can ask him where he got the paperwork if you need it.
