WTF why me?

[bones]

I some how ended up on the wrong end of about 14 sticks lately, no matter what i try it turns to the proverbalJust a general run of luck(out of luck) then i gets to fixing my toy, volt gauge gone kaput, no probs me thinks, hmmm cant finds anyone the same, no matter me say, gets a bigger one cuts the crap out of the brand new(not even a scratch) panel hooks it all up,,, beauty volts workings,,,everything else working sweet, so i pushes it out side runs to motor up for warm up, then up to 100% for a a little bit, idles it back down for cool off, everything is working fine, hmmm or so i thought, i final glance at the gauges and the bl**dy f**king fuel gauge not working now, hmmm i must have pulled the wire off hooking up the new volt gauge, no probs pop off a cover plate, cant see, pop out te whole freaking dash, hmm wires still on, maybe the connection underneath near the peddles came loose, so off with another 2 panels to look pull twist and generally swear at it all, nothing wrong, so it all goes back together again, sit there in the fetal position on the floor for awhile, all the time trying to remember why the f**k i brought this POS.Ok so it must be the gauge died, so out with the dash again, remove said gauge, go over to another machine in the corner of the hangar, remove dash from it, hook my gauge up to it wires turn on master and the gauge works, hmmm getting happier, so i makes a phone call, yep must be the sender in the tank, so the whole tank has to come out to get to the sender, did i mention i am happy by now?? anyway 1.5hr later i have the sender in my hand, multimeter confirms the sender is down to ground on the pulse wire, really smiling now, so another phone to buy another one.I am reluctant to give a kidney or liver(cause it sh*t like this that makes me drink) 450 bucks later gets a sender on its way from the States, just now it wont turn up until i gone back to work so i got the leave it in pieces basically for a month, still smiling.Now for the real kick in balls, siting on the steps of the veranda and the redhead says since your having such a great day today to top off the last few weeks of crap, my mum be here in a day or so, i just started laughing i thought it could get any worse, i was wrong So come on its not just me having a crappy run is it? tell us all.

HTFU Bones, You got sum catchn up to do.My run has been go,n since that locust plage in 2010, followed by floods, then the fires in 2011/12, then dry asa chip till two munths ago.5 beautiful steady inchs of grass grown rain, topped off witha 3" ina hour dump that f****d everythn.Fixed all but one floodgate on me bob malone, then went to patch up me roads, got a mile from the houes and the finale drive on the 17K chucked a coupla bearings.Then, while do,n meaningless rehab work for these **%## %#{%+ *#}*=+]% exploration braincells, me skidsteer blows a ram seal, so i cant get the grader back together coz my main man is outa action. Mean while the ground has dried out too much for road repairs so theres no hurry for the SS, or the grader.Btw, you coulda bort this joint for $20 tday.Finaly got me SS bits, 17k bits, cooked a coupla gooseneck tyres, only to find the bearings on that hub without the cap are shagged, not coz the cap was missn, but coz the inside seal didnt, and it was fulla dust. Just gessn, but im thinkn im go,n to have to do all 4 hubs.Then theres that bore hole, my favorit neibours road, more camels, and a zillion flies, people dropn in without notice tryn to turn me alcoholic, and THAT dog.Mite join you down the hole.Im over this sh!t.2011 is lookn like a blissful year in comparison.

Not a chance mundy.That $20 offer is only valid while the spanners are flyn round the shed.Besides, im too dum to do anythn else.Btw Bones, that POS your bitchn bout would look just dandy in my hanger.

[bones]

Oh nd just to prove that it wasnt a one day thing, today cause i couldnt go finish off the new POS i decided after dodging it for a couple of days i was gonna start on replacing the sprag clutch in the 912, so i starts, now ideally it is best to remove the motor and stand it on the prop hub, but not me, i decided after about 1hr looking yesterday that i would have room to do it on the machine.So i already got the sprag but ol mate who i borrowed the puller off to do job is not arounds anymore, so i have buy 1 from floods, hmmm yes well they basically give them away, anyway so while i wait for that i was going to start and get it all done but the last little bit,so i

[bones]

Careful Bones, thinking that you are at the end of your run of bad luck (let alone, saying it) is..... well..... bad luck
