Angry My bad day continues....

It started on Thursday, for me, monday for my friend. Ever wondered where your bad luck comes from, well, it's from friends, they pass it on.

On monday, my friend goes to start my old '66 that he bought, dead batt. On tuesday, he's wife gets $100 stolen from them, it's for his car parts that he just ordered from Jegs. So now he has to go in dept for his bank to pay off the parts. Later that day, I go to see about the car, charge up the batt, then just to find out the the cam had to jump a couple of teeth because of the few times he over reved the motor, I'm thinking that now the piston is hitting the valves, so I told him not to drive it and we'd fix it later next week, after pay day. Late Wednesday afternoon, I find out that I'm getting deployed, and so I can't help him with the car, since I leave this Next Friday. As u can see, my luck is starting to go bad. I now can't fix my '79 Mustang, can't get rid of my '89 Mustang thats in a trailer, in the dorms, which is not supposed to be there, got a ticket yesterday. I no where near ready to leave since I spent all my money on parts.

Now, yesterday was the worst day possible. Since I'm so stressed about leaving, my mind was in other spots, not where is was supposed to be. On my way to pick up my mobility bags, I remembered that my radiator fluid was low, and since it's hot outside, I needed to get it filled up. So I go to the nearest water hose and begain to fill it.

Well, I made a mess, so I decited to wash it off. Now that the motor is wet, I started up the truck, to get it to dry. I didn't turn off the hose like a dumb ***. I reached over to rev up the motor while under the hood, but (like I said before, my mind was in another spot) I didn't pay atention to where I put the water hose.

I soon found out where it was, the end of it stuck in the Stock Air intake, which aloud the water to funnel up, straight to the motor, which, as u can guess, hydrolocked the motor!

Now my '89 Bronco is broken, needing a complete engine rebuilt, my '79 is about to get towed away, and I'm getting sent over sea's, do u think anyone cares. Hell no!

Now, I guess I have something to do when I get back, and it's not buying that '65 Fastback right now
