Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

Freeday, wings sprout,,,,

Went in, readied gear to go, two trucks left the shop toward site.

Oops,,, some’un dropped the ball, one truck (my truck) had to turn back to pick up the forgotten item (nailgun)

Get it, p get back on road.

TEMP GAGE goes all wonky and I hit the curb.   This particular truck recently had a BRAND NEW FACTORY CRATE engine installed (within last year,,,)   Not gonna blow it up.

Just a question,,,, WHY, for the love of God, does a company put QUICK CONNECT fittings on a high pressure high heat connection?

Simple fix, reattach the quick connect, fingers crossed that it was just a slip of the last mechanic’s work. (they go on, feel secure, but if you do not hear/feel that CLIK!, they ain’t secure. I had to wiggle it quite a bit to get the click.)

Anyyhooozzzz,,, While I am figuring out what the heck is goin’ on under the hood, Burnout is on my fone callin’ Son of Bossman to tell him whats up and request a delivery of new coolant.  (we lost every last drop with the upper hose blowin’ off.)

Bossman and Son of arrive, we refill the beasty and start it up to make sure alls good, and Son of Bossman says, “take it back to the shop, we’ll try again on Muhnday,,,,”

sigh,,,,, I get it.   Too many little snafu’s and you get the impression Universe is telln’ you to put a cork in it, call it a day, ease up a bit.

Good news though, My package arrived today, FINALLY after three weeks of fun and games and long distance calls, complaints and more than a little slandering of litefingered delivery peeps.   And now, FEILD TEST,,,,   Maybe not today, but then again, why not today,,,, Dunno,   My gumption is sorta shot after the ups and downs of how this day started and maybe, MAYBE, I should take the same hint that Son of took,,,,,

More laters: I got ALLLLLLLLL weekend to get my shit sorted out,,,,,
