I fixed something!!!!!

Post by Dougieb »

I fixed something!
It does not matter what it actually was.
Only that, before it was broken.
Now it is fixed!

I had the exact right amount of parts.
Nothing was left over.
Nothing else was needed.

It went together exactly as the book and this forum said.
There were no bloody knuckles.
No new swear words were invented.

After, I even went over and fixed the lawn mover.
And my wife actually mowed the grass for me!

I rode that wave of bliss right over to the store and bought a lottery ticket.
Later, I went to sleep (still with a smile) under a blanket of a couple of IPAs. (Sweetwater 420 to be exact)

I wanted to shout from the the highest mountain but chose here instead.
To let everyone know that it can happen!

Has this happened to anyone else?
And thanks for listening.

I am with you! My confidence is growing. The more i tell people I'm gonna keep this car on the road myself the more i believe it...

luckily the car has been running great since i bought it. 3 fuel leaks fixed, fluids changed, new glovebox door, soon relays, long trailing arms and timing belt!

congrats on ownership and the fix. Keep up the good work.

George
