Fords Grrrr

Today was a pretty good day, I was changing my wifes kitchen them from sunflowers to apples. I ran into a problem the screws I got in with the order were only for cabinet doors, not for drawers which is a bit thicker, and the screws don"t fit all the way across. So I will get some after I pick up lunch. Well I go to Whatabuger to get lunch while in the drive thru the check engine light goes on, and the van stalls a little bit, but it doesnt turn off. Grrr makes me mad. So we finish luch I take off to get the screws, and head out to Autozone where no one is there to attend of course. They finally get out there to check my van , & tell me its a sensor for $129.00 yikes dumb ford. So I get it, & ask david if he wants a candy, & of course he is a kid says yes I tell him to get one for mike.When I pay it comes out to $229 yikes it turn out I have to
return the core which is the replacment the old one so okay I leave. The sensor is in the air filter housing very easy right WRONG, I have to take out so much to get in there.Well I get in there,& it turns out I need a specialty tool Grrr. So I take off to Sears of course to go get a Craftsman tool. Well they don't carry those any more so off to Autozone again I find the tool and take it off & replace it. Then I cant put it back together Grrrrr. Yes I finally get it, and take of to Autozone to return the core they will give me back $80 some bucks. Well I get there and what do you know after I took the picture of the sensor on top of the van I put it on my porch Grrrr I have to drive back home to go get it Grrrrr. I get into autozone waiting in line @ the register when it is my turn , the cashier tells me I have to get into the line it has a little mice maze lines you know. Grrrr I said ok then get in line, no one @ the computers, some guy named Martin Silva got that named tatooed to my brain Grrr he is on his personel cell phone by the time he gets off the phone I am fuming , but I dont tell him anything just the evil look Grrr. When I get to him @ the computer he sends me to another guy to help me Grrrrrrr. I give him the evil look again I dont even remember the name of the guy who helped me , but he was very nice. I got my money credited back to my account. So I finally get home to finish the cabinets, & the dumd screws didn't fit Grrrr, the good thing is my wife was online looking for a truck for me a Chevy thank you very much. She showed me an Equinox, but I said "No Tray Nada" he he, I said I will pass. So back to work, & clean up the Kitchen Grrrrr , But in all things give thanks right, Till Next time laters Enjoy.
