Good Morning men

got a guy who just called and is coming to buy the last part I have off my Mustang. After that I have to go scrap a truckload of metal I accumulated this weekend cleaning. Upside I'm getting some extra unexpected money this morning!


Have a good one everyone!

Good morning guys. I hope everyone has a great day.

Yesterday was ****. I had a follow up with my regular doctor to go over my blood work. Everything is fine. Diet and exercise have my numbers solid. The only thing she said that I could improve was my good cholesterol. So it looks like more fish in the diet.

Get done and get in the car. It won't start. 20 miles from home and it won't start. Since it's a used car, we only got a 6 month/6,000 mile warranty when we bought it. Gave them a call, we're a month and a little under 2,000 miles over our warranty, so they told us we were SOL. Called our insurance company and evidently we did not include roadside assistance. ::facepalm:: I do have AT&T roadside assistance, so I call them. They tell me the tow truck will be there in 45 minutes. They also inform me that they only pay the first $50 of the tow. ::facepalm::

Tow truck shows up an hour and 45 minutes later. Crystal is sweating because she has to go to work. We get our car work done at Tires Plus, so we had the car towed there. My dad picked us up and my mom let Crystal borrow her car so she could go to work. Get back up to Tires Plus just before the tow truck gets there. Cost of the tow $102.50, so $52.50 out of pocket for me. Tires Plus said from the sound of it, it was probably the fuel filter or the fuel pump. The fuel filter would be much cheaper, but both are located inside the gas tank. So it was going to cost a bit in labor.

It's the fuel pump. $450 to replace. The part will be in today and we should have the car back this afternoon/evening.

Sorry for the long story, but yesterday was horrible. Hopefully today is better.
