Ah... life...

Boy. Life sure does like to test my patience. Out of the 4 vehicles we own, only 1 is running right now. Hahaha. Good stuff. Last week the Passat threw a check engine light, code said it was for the Crankshaft Position sensor. No big, easy fix, expensive part, Kelli can drive the Corolla till payday when I can fix the Passat. Yesterday I get a call from her "Hey babe, I heard a pop and a loud grinding noise and my brakes started feeling funny... can you come look at my car while I'm at work today?" Sure. No big. I load up my tools and jacks and all that fun stuff and head to town. I tear into her car and find that the CV halfshaft has essentially commited seppuku and taken the whole wheel/hub assembly with it. Leaving us with the F250 to get both of us to and from work. Yay. The Jeep couldn't be driven on road even if it was running lol. Eh. We'll work it out but sure does put a little strain.
The 1 vehicle still running. I couldn't even use it to tow the Toyota because someone stole the hitch off it! Lame. I had to borrow my Dad's pickup to tow it. What good is it to have a big ol' F250 without a hitch!? NONE! Lol. Guess I ought to drop the money and get a new hitch. Hopefully my vacation request for tomorrow gets approved, then I'll be off for 2 shifts and I'll be able to get some stuff done and will sure relieve some stress of how to get Kelli and I both to work and back lol.
