All this braking is keeping me broke …
By Destiny Dawn | June 27, 2008
Sorry I’ve been away from the blog so long. It’s been one heck of a spring. Everything broke this spring. It’s one of those times that is so surreal it’s a comedy of errors. I mean, if you think I am exaggerating … read this.
This Spring (2008) …
The brakes went out on the farm truck and the lugs won’t brake free to fix them. We did brake two tire tools and several breaker bars trying.
The van needed all 4 brakes and a rotor. Got it fixed in time for the starter to go out.
The car needed a 4 wheel alignment. Got it done in time for a brake line to snap.
The rotatiller needs the carb rebuilt and will not stay running. Not that it will stop raining long enough to till.
The riding mower busted a belt. Got a new one, and the second belt went. Got a new one and now the blades are need replaced.
The head on the weed eater broke. Got a new one .. but it don’t fit.
The microwave started taking 3-4 minutes to heat a cup a coffee. Got another at a yard sale - the digital numbers don’t work.
My refrigerator died a sudden death with no change of revival. Bought a new one that took 3 weeks to get delivered and it’s missing the bottom door hinges.
Battery in one of the cordless phones stopped holding a charge and the corded phone was brought out of storage.
My dirt bike is dead in the garage needing a clutch cable.
One of the breakers in my electric box died - leaving half my kitchen without power.
The electric can opener died … and YES I tested it in a working outlet.
I dropped my voice recorder and of course it busted in a way that duct tape can’t even fix.
The oven coils in my stove quit working.
AAUURRGGGHHHH!!!!
Oh I’m sure I am forgetting a few things, but these are the ones I can think of that cost or will yet cost to get right.
So if I seem a little spacey or disconnected - you can plainly see why .. I am trying to put the pieces back together again!
