NOT!

Week was blah to begin with, then my check card fraud yesterday, now this.

I had been working on getting new office space for the beginning of next year because the current place I am was raising rent for our offices from $1200/month to $1800/month, so I HAVE to move. Anyways, found this great space in Westerville that was unfinished and would be finished to my specs with a 3 year lease. Anyways, we had a contract that we had signed, but the owner had not signed it yet, today the company next door to the empty space said that they wanted it, and would pay full price.

WTF is up with this week.

The biggest problem is most of the nice space in the area I am looking is owned by DRK. DRK wants a personal guarantor to sign the lease and for that, they can kiss my ass.

I didn't get the game here so I didn't really watch the game. Didn't bother me much.

Them losing to the Browns tonight will set me off though.

I am sure that it will all work out for you. Just keep your head up. Who knows, maybe you losing that space, will open up an even better space, for cheaper.

Now my truck won't start. Most likely it's a bad plug boot, plug wire, or cracked distributor cap. I was going to change all of those things last weekend, but the spark plugs are seized in the engine. UGGGGGGGGGGH

I have a mechanic friend who is doing the plugs for beer, we are just gonna dump penetration oil (haha shut up) all over them then impact them out. I can't get that done until I can get my truck to his place in Morrow county.

Looks like I'll be working from my phone one day this week.

The good news is that everything I read on the internet supports the hypothesis of bad wires, boot, or cracked distributor. I already have all new parts, so it's just a matter of it stopping raining. I am hoping I can get the engine dried out enough that I can just get it to my friend's shop and we can do everything at once.

Usually these things happen to people who are idiots to others in real life. Seems to fit you to a "T" if you ask me.:D

Probably. I bought the truck used just as a winter vehicle/farm truck/hunting truck with 107k on it, and the build sheet shows it was built in OCT 1999, so we are looking at a 10 yr old ignition system with 108,000 miles on it.

Yeah, I load the threads up with that shit and the plug boots get a ton of grease on em.

It's prob my fault for not re-greasing the boot when I pulled it last week to try to get the plug out. That's prob where the condensation is, but from the way it won't even sputter and misfire, there's a really good chance it's the cap.

2000 Dodge Ram 2500 with a 360.

truck was traded in in 2005 with a blown transmission and rear end, so it got new both with 86,000 miles. Guy I bought it from paid $13k for it in 2005, barely drove it, let it sit and the bottoms of the doors rusted pretty good, can't get anyone to give him $7k for it, so I buy it from him for $4k. Cousin is a professional body man, so he did all the body work for me for free, threw some 33's on it, now it just needs to run again.
