Kronk, I must apologize first before I comment. Since my eyesight is not what it used to be, I thought the title of your post was “ Transcending “. So please forgive me as I now realize that you were not trying to obtain a higher spiritual level, but instead, as the song by “ The Beach Boys” sang…. I Get Around. |

Date: 12/2/2022 3:30:00 AM From Authorid: 61901 I pulled out my spark plug wires out once... all at the same time. You guess it, it cranked up fine, but put in gear and I went nowhere. Yep, had to call a tow truck. Never did that again. But hey I learned to change my breaks on Youtube, that saved me a couple of hundred euros. |

Ranger Yes, sir. Education usually has a price tag. I am really not much of a mechanic, but in these times, one needs to save whenever possible. You tube videos have saved me bunches, too. Having the proper tools to do the job goes a long way, also. Admittedly, my transmission fiasco cost me, but I'll know better next time. We SHALL persevere. Good reading you. |

Update::::: Well, as my furry friend informed everyone, I had to get the truck hauled to a mechanic. "They" did an awesome job of fixing the things that I messed up and it didn't cost nearly as much as I expected. My battery died (the battery was 5 years old) when I started to leave the shop and the mechanics installed me a new one. They were such fine folk. I promised to bring them a few dozen crabs and everyone ended up happy....Ginger is inspiring me to become an optimist. Thank you Ginger. |

Hey Kronk! Sorry to be so late to the party. I ran out of gas! I--I had a flat tire! I didn't have enough money for cab fare! My tux didn't come back from the cleaners! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!!! Actually, I have been searching for myself and, in the end, have proven to be more elusive than I had originally suspected. I will not underestimate myself again. If you ever need to do work on your transmission, drop me a line. I'm a pro. My claim to fame is the one time that I swapped out a tranny in a V8 Pinto while being accosted by a pair of representatives of the Jehovah's Witness organization. All I saw were shiny black shoes and black pants but they were kind enough to pass a set of their tracts under the car to me upon departing. For better effect at the transmission shop, you should have wheeled it inside in a baby carriage, wearing a black veil and sobbing incessantly. |

Hekler Hey, man, I understand. Some folk might say such a set of circumstances is unlikely, (or, even impossible) but believe it or not, pretty much the exact same thing happened to me. I was once thirteen days late for my fourth wife's family reunion. Once a chain of events gets rolling, all a body can do is roll with it. "L.D."---Yeah, "they" found kronk hold up in "Daisy Flowers" oriental massage parlor. kronk---I got hit in the head and I woke up thinking I was the "King of Siam." "L.D."---Hehe...Mrs. Kronk put so many knots on his head that he looked like Liston, after the sixth round of the Clay fight. kronk---Ugh! The woman has a deadly combination. |
