Re: Bad Weather Blues...
I HATE WINTER!! NO fun for me here in Illinois.
It snowed last night at 3 am. I'm in my Blazer 4x4 on fresh snow roads and can't play around because my tanks on E! "so wait 'til tommorow" I say, but the now roads are clear.
I picked up my Typhoon #1597 a few months ago from Kentucky (800 trailored miles). It was EXTREMLEY CLEAN!!! Well I wanted that Weds. off to beat the snow we were expecting. Jerks at work said no, I could'nt get anyone to trade hrs. (they gave a coworker that weds off after I already asked!) :rant: so I had to take Thurs. instead. 16 hrs later my SUPER detailed, never seen salt, Ty was incased with salt an ice on my trailer. I spent a week cleaning it when it origanally just needed a car cover thrown over it. It' good as new now, but would still love to kick those guy's........... :squint:
Now for my other Ty #0157. My Blazer, was acting up on me. It was getting worse by the day. I checked/ replaced numerous ignition & fuel components. still nothing. I called my mechanic buddy, told him that I was going to go 15mi to my shop, drop the Blazer, get my Ty for ONE day (roads dry w/ no salt), had to go to work, and we'd fix the truck later in my warm, lighted, tool filled shop. I was sure it was'nt gonna make it to work in the blazer. He says: "you'll be late to work cuttin' it close" Taking his advice, I drive 15 mi to work, break down, break the bolt on new dist. cap, walk to work----long story short- Drove my EXTREMLEY CLEAN Ty a week in rain, spent a week cleaning this one too, and froze my tail off on the side of the dark, cold, highway fixin' the Blazer. Result, $80 Flatbed bill, $200 garage repair bill, (I dont mess w/ timing) all because of a ignition module, that we were gonna test, had it been at my shop. :rant:
