Last weekend we finally got some snow.. a foot of it. Although the weatherman promised more like 18″.
So after digging my Olds out of the snow I went to start it on Monday morning.. wand what do I see? The dreaded idiot light 
So what could I do?.. I took the SUV, and from the road I called the mechanic. Today I find out that the light was caused by a missfire in one of the cylinders because oil had collected in the spark-plug pocket due to a bad broken valve-cover gasket. The entire cost of the fix… just short of $600. Crap. Oh well atleast it can be fixed. If you go and see my photos section you can see some photos taken with my cameraphone of before and after the storm.
Now for Wednesday evening thru saturday the latest prognosis is another 13-22″ of fresh new snow.
I’ll leave you with some funny quotes sent to me by my boss:
- Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
- He who laughs last, thinks slowest.
- Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
- Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don’t.
- Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
- The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there’s a 90% probability you’ll get it wrong.
- The things that come to those who wait will be the things left by those who got there first.
- Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.
- Flashlight: A case for holding dead batteries.
- The shin bone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.
- A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.
- When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people who weren’t smart enough to get out of jury duty.
