      My Crazy last two days

      Last two days have just been crazy. I'll should have read my horiscope and just been a hermit for the last two days.

      Yesterday, I was having my Camaro towed back into the shop so I could put my new tranny in. I have a steep driveway that ends in a busy street. The stupid tow truck driver loses control of my car and dumps it into my planter. About 6 more inches and it would have dropped 6' into my neighbors front yard right off the ledge between our properties (on a hilly street). Really no damage other than a sub-frame got scratched up a bit.

      This morning I am test fitting my torque converter onto my flex-plate (with the car on a lift in the air), and I am trying to line up the converter bolt holes to the flex-plate and a little atf on the T/C makes me slip my grip and drop the sucker, which proceeds to bounce off the side of my head into my arms which I catch. I guess my head is replaceable but the Muscle-Drive torque converter isn't :D Least I didn't drop it on my foot, lol.

      Come home from the shop and find out my wife is losing her job. Then my wife convinces me to see a doctor after I show her the huge monkey bump on the side of my head (Doctor says I should be fine, long as I don't start vomitting or blacking out the next 24 hours) and on the way home we are rear ended (no one is hurt just the bump and drivers side quarter panel all screwed up).

      Should have stayed in bed for the last two days :willy: Well least no one is really injured, and I found out my head is useful for bouncing torque converters off of to catch. ;)

      damn Ed I'm glad you're over on the other coast. No offense man, but don't stand close to me any time soon. I'm glad to hear you two are ok though

      Damn that's rough!

      At least you have a good enough sense of humor to share it with the rest of us.

      Hope things turn around for you soon!

      Thanks for the words of encouragement. Yeah I figure any of the things could have been a lot worse. I was lucky in my unluckiness ;)

      Hey, at least when "you came home and found out the wife" it was only that she lost her job. I was worried it's be that she was in bed with someone else! ;)
      See, something else (kind of) went right.
