The Jeep Gods are against me today!

What a day...

Went to the junkyard, it was half price day! Found alot of Cherokees and a good amount of parts I wanted; a few hitches, some nice doors to make half doors out of, and a skid plate... Forgot to bring torx head bits, so no doors for me, and those hitches were on too tight. At least I got the skid plate.

Get home tackle the skid plate and decide to install a power steering cooler since I had a B&M cooler sitting around... install was going great until I went to pull the low pressure hose off the power steering pump, and broke the nipple off the back of it.

So, do the Jeep gods require more of a sacrafice from me than just busted knuckles and a little blood? What do I need to do to get back in their graces?

But I like my Honda Accord (as a daily driver anyway)

I was hoping my neighbor's annoying dogs would suffice
 
until you let your wrench slip, punch the engine block, break your pinky knuckle on your left hand, jerk backwards in pain knocking the hood prop rod out and the hood down on your head. They will have something against you. after the above steps have been performed all will be right with the world and your work can proceede. Just dont ask me how I know:doh:
 
ouch. was working under my dads gmc 1500, touched my arm to the burning hot cat and jerked my head back slamming it into the concrete. I was done messing with it that day.

actually i can imagine it looking hot..............
 
Last week I was reaching up onto a top shelf to find some masking tape when I knocked down a 5lb sledgehammer (that I had forgotten I'd put up there), it came down full force on my right thumb and forefinger on the workbench.

The pain caused me to jump back, which made me slip in the oil on the floor.

As I was falling backwards, I grabbed the edge of my pegboard rack with my left hand to steady myself.

My feet continued sliding right under my workbench, slamming my shins into the edge.

My arm, still attached to the pegboard wrenched my rotator cuff.

That in turn, broke the bolts on the rack loose, bringing the entire pegboard rack with all my wrenches, pliers, etc. down on top of me.

All this was right before I smashed the back of my head on the handlebars of my motorbike as I went down.

The bike fell over too, but that somehow missed me altogether.

I went back inside and took a bottle of Percocet with a bottle of JD...
 
I can only hope thats true.

Ha! Now I find a tent trailer for 300 bucks that one of those hitches would have helped me pick up!
