and today isnt lookin much better.

long story, as short as possible...

[rant]

college president made us go to monday classes yesterday

while i was on campus, the Ram lost power steering

fought the truck home, no ps and all, in "rush hour" (whatever that means in utica)

get in the teg :angry: and drive in the winter salt and sand and driving rain with a cv axle that badly needs replacement and i can hear the shit comin off the road and hittin the car....and click click click click axle i hope the ****er breaks.... go to 7 stores before i finally find one with a pulley remover.

get to replacing the pump (which seems to be the issue)

all is going smoothly and my dad comes home. Dad is a doer, not a helper; I am a doer, not a helper. dad begins to do, i watch. while workin some bolts, a ground wire breaks from its terminal.

i appreciated his help but by the end of the job we are both tired, hungry, sore etc... so i go to temp fix the ground wire with some 8g. and a wire nut. he gets pissed cuz the wire i had was too big and he didnt have a wire nut big enough and next thing i know i get "i wanna get this done, my knees hurt and my back hurts and im tired" and i point out "i didnt ask for help, i appreciate it but go to bed, i can take it from here" it escalates and next thing you know its an "f this F that match" and i slam my hood down, vow to trade the Ram in throw my tools in their place and he goes in and i go in and im pissed and the truck still isnt finished :rant:

today im completely wiped out, i didnt wanna get up but i did and i have to work til 10 tonite so another day without a truck that i cant drive.
