Man, what a day I think that everything that could go wrong today did and has. To start off, I wake up with my head stopped up and a headache. This morning I decided to work on my CC01 to see what all I needed to buy from GPM to fix it when the first grader from next door comes over. He leaves and I run in real quick to grab an motrin and a coke and when I come out he is filling the whole chassis up with water from the hose. When he sees me he grabs it, takes off in a full on sprint, stops in the middle of the road, holds it up in the air, and throws it down with all of his strength front end first. He turns around to me and yells," That is for not letting me borrow it last week". I run down there to grab it and see that the whole front end is destroyed and after a quick diagnostics, I find that the water destroyed the ESC and finished off the motor.
With my head still throbbing my mom comes out and tells me that she has to go to the eye doctor and tells me to come inside and get ready. We get out into the Jeep, try to start it and the battery is dead. We jumped off a lawnmower that was in the garage and go to autozone to grab a new battery. While I am under the hood putting the battery in place, my mom is on the phone with the eye place telling them that we are running late. I am almost done with the battery when the gas struts holding the hood up fail and the hood comes crashing down ontop of me. My brother, being a brother, laughs while some random dude runs over and opens the hood, a task which I could easily have done if they had givin me a moment.
We get to the eye place and I am sitting in the waiting room with my little brother waiting for my mom to get finished(which took 2 and a half hours by the way) when an elderly man walkes through the door with his wife. There are no seats left so I offer his wife my seat and the elderly man looks at me and tells me, "what are you doing hitting on my wife sonny". The wife trys to calm him down and he storms out and returns as we are leaving.
I am driving home and my mom tells me to go by a gas station to get gas. I get to a station and get into line. After 45 minutes of waiting we get around to a pump and the owner of the station comes out and tells us, "the gas truck hasn't come yet today and we are out of gas, we are sorry for keeping you waiting so long". We drive across the street to the other station and fill the car up and get onto the highway. I am going about 75 and some dude in a Yukon is tailgaiting me like mad. I get to where I have to turn and he is behind me. As I am fixing to turn, I see a funeral coming so, out of respect, I have to wait to turn as they were going the same way as me. The guy in the Yukon jumps out of the car, comes up to the window and says, "What the f*** are you f****** doing just sitting here at this godd*** light you son of a b****!!!" I explain to him that there is a funeral and he replies, "I don't give a f*** if the president is standing in the middle of the f****** road, when I want you to go you f****** go you got that?!!!?"
We get home and try to open the garage door, only to find that the power is out and that a tree had fallen in our back yard. We call the company and they get the power back on and we pull into the garage. My mom tells me that she now wants me to cut the grass so I fill up the lawn mower only to find that there is a hole in the gas tank and all the gas is pouring out. I try the other lawnmower(which is over 10 years old) and it works for about half an hour and then smokes and dies. Only half of the yard is cut and I go inside, get a shower, sit down at the computer to turn it on to get on RCC and.....nothing. The computer was zapped by lightining or something. So now I am using my iTouch to type my day out lol. Man, what a day:roll: |
