(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Not wanting to make other peoples problems on here trivial,I am NOT doing that, there has certainly been some bad news going around, and I am truly sorry to hear of it, I am a single parent and could not fathom the idea of losing my child to an illness, or, anything for that matter.
But this is teener related, thank goodness--I guess,,,,, I was finishing up Black Sabbaths' engine build. Everything was going together sooo smoothly. I was being meticulous in the build, but sad to say not meticulous enough. To put it in perspective: I send out my case to rimco to have it cleaned, galleys modified, and pipe plugs installed. That is all I ordered and requested, nothing else, period. 17 hours into my build, as I was tq'ing the flywheel on I noticed some movement, very subtle, but caught my eye nontheless. Upon further investigation I determined that rimco did me a favor and linebored the case w/o my knowledge or them telling me or them charging me..... Now I am faced with a setback that could possibly see my beloved car go into storage long term-- See, I am losing my job in a few months, been knowing it for some time now. Took my truck to carmax to sell it and get from under the note / gas / insurance delimma. My teener was going to be my transpo for the time being. Now I am stuck with a complete tear down and cleaning, reinspecting the case to see just what size it is now, reordering a gasket set and main bearings that I simply do not have the money for, nor the time to do it all before my life goes to shit. So now it looks as if I am stuck with my best buddies Moe and Joe to get me around SoFl, that a my very old and rusty 15 speed bicycle--- On top of all that I am at a loss for getting the much needed education loan which is crucial if not paramount to me going back to school and making something of my white ass in this land of affirmative action. And I still have my beloved little Angel to take care of----- Any of you guys ever have a dark cloud follow you and just not let up?? Ok rant over--sigh, it really sucks, but right now, you guys are the only shoulders I can cry on--sniff, sniff,,,,,,, sigh---- |
