Burn baby burn

I got off work early yesterday, the week before a holiday is reaaaalllly slow. I stop and fill the tank half up. I'm driving home when it starts smelling like somebody is dumping fuel in my car, really bad fumes. So I put the windows down and the smell goes away somewhat. Long story short, the fuel line that plugs into the rail has decided to leak. My engine was covered in gas and I was high as a kite. I can't believe it didn't start a fire, if it was on the other end that connects to the metal line it would have dumped fuel all over the exhaust manni and it would have went up in flames. I also found out the the clutch is starting to slip. yeah.

Turning on the wrong burner? It happens all the time. Once I waited 30 minutes for a soup to boil, and all the time I had the wrong burner on. But hey at least I didn't melt anything.

Yeah...I've ruined like 3 teapots like this. I've actually melted a metal one to the stove and burner and had to replace the whole shebang. It looks like mercury as the molten metal runs down and in.\r \r

Hello, this is CapnHun and we haven't met. But I am really curious about something. If your wife is working and you are at home (it looks like you are doing a great job taking care of that cute little girl of yours btw) why is she having to do the dishes?

It was a sexist joke intended to incite response. You were the only one to bite.

I don't know if a trip from Florida would be a great idea. :) A $12 visit to the local parts store took care of it. The clutch on the other hand is going to be a pita. I guess now is a good time to grab that lightened flywheel I've been wanting.
