Guest Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Man, I just got to rant a bit. It's been a rough 10 days or so. Tow truck had a wee bit of an oil leak and I sent it to my diesel mechanic. He tells me it's not just gaskets like I believed it be. Cam followers on a CAT 3126 are attached to these three "cover plates" on the intake side of the block. Turns out, $1500 in parts alone! Ordered the parts at CAT using the engines serial number. Parts come in, wrong parts! Now I'm down 4 days! While truck is down, I outsourced my work to a friend. Sent him on a pick up for my #1 customer. I got instructions mixed up, sent the car to the wrong buyer. Cost my customer $1000 loss! So I have to eat it and pay him $1000 he lost. Great. Got truck up and running, go a full day of work and I come park it at the end. For some reason it decided to start pissing coolant! Needs a new water pump. Great! Then today, I go tapping the rear bumper on a 2013 Hyundai. I get out to exchange info with the guy. Out comes an old man with a bandages on his arm and a urine bag strapped to him, fresh out of the hospital! Frivolous law suit here we come! End of rant. Thanks for reading.

Fanta Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yeowch, and I thought my being arrested and paying bail was bad Dumb as this might sound, but you should maybe just take 30 minutes of a day, and just meditate, clear your head and thoughts. This kind of stuff back to back can really cram up your brain and results snowball. Take a step back, breath, relax, look at the grand picture and do what needs to be done. You'll look back at 6 months and go ehh, it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAinsworth Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Shelby, I meant it as humor also. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, and definitely wouldn't trade weeks with you. I'm just glad they were able to bring me back.Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
