a good day

I just, well actually, me and my best friend just finished dropping in my rebuilt L6...polished and painted it up real nice too, and then......

We both do a once over. Everything looks good to go. I wipe my filthy hands, grab my keys and turn her over, nothing! Okay, no problem. I look again at my starter and battery...looks good. I have my friend try while I look on. I notice now that it wont even turn! I checked my connections. I check them again. To my horror it all checks out. I was hoping to find a loose connection, a frayed wire, anything.

My friend removes the spark plugs, ALL 6 cylinders are filled with coolant!....Now, after spending boocoo hours (and bucks) I slipped into a zombie like state...my best friend then offered to take me out for a beer, I said no, but he said I owed him since he sacrificed his Saturday to assist me with my Z, so I took a shower while he watched TV; so I thought.

He was on my phone laughing his head off to his girl friend. I was pissed. He then tells me he just heard the funniest story. I was in no mood. He insisted. I started to lock the house up. As he followed me he told me about this guy who had secretly filled coolant into cylinders of his unsuspecting friends Z while he was gone-in mad dash to return the cherry picker. It took me second or two, but when the lights came on I was on the floor in tears, that was the best dirty trick. The best ever The best trick in our twenty-two years of friendship.

Needles to say, when we removed the plugs this time, I turned over the engine and watched the coolant shoot some thirty feet across the yard, yup, all over my house. No biggy though, as I was grinning from ear to ear, once my Z came to life!

So, how was your day?
