Angry Hamburger Hands!!!

Ok I am getting sick of this crap, my hands look like I ran them thru a meat grinder! Do you guys know how hard it is to work on a import for 6 hours reaching in and around up and down when you have 18 inch guns and 15 inch forearms??? My god, cuts here, scrapes there, whoops smashed the heckout of that one!!! I am not happy. I want all this crap miraculusly fixed by morning, I don't care if monkeys and a magic donkey team up to quell this tidal wave of a uprising. I want to work of my 4X4's. Not my daily drivers!!!! I think my cars have made each other sick and its just passing from one to the next and back and forth. Makes me want to Puff the Magic Dragon. To top that off I have to keep an eye on my 2 year old boy so he doesn't hurt himself. I know Zeus was the mytholigical king of gods, and Venus the goddess of beauty, and Aphrodite the goddess of love or something, but who was the god of tools?, or the god of mechanics??? Do I need snowwhites seven dwarfs to come break it down for me??? Funny, the only things I have that run good right now are my B2 my Chevy 2.5 Ton, and my red headed stepchild Mitsubishi. Oh yea the LUV only needs a fuel pump thats ordered, and the 302 in the F100 is going into the B2 but its carb is shot so until I put the truck avenger on it its dead. What should I do people, wait I know. You all have seen those guys, you know the ones that are always a vetern of some war and have a cardboard sign that says need work, homeless, work for food, anywork please, please help me, yea those guys. I can take my big flatbed and my 20 foot trailer and go load all them up and bring them to Muskogee Oklahoma for some good ol' Oscar Mayer weiners and whole lotta shop class. Does the Big Brother program have trained mechanics that like to work in their spare time? I mean I am pretty well blessed in every other aspect of my life and I guess since I have all this crap to work on could be considered good, but my next daily driver shall be new, and with a nice fat warranty, so somebody else can fix my crap. Think if I bought a nice sedan and brought it to the dealership for warranty work because the gas tank got ripped open on a big rock in the mud hole I got stuck in. They'd fix that right? ha. Perhaps once I get my cushy job in the pedestal crain at the port, I can go get a porshe Cheyanne. They would love to tear the transmission and transfer case apart a month after purchase because its full of sand. and the rear end blasted its carrier bearings because of the 44's I threw on it for the weekend, not to mention the 12" homeade lift to fit them. After all that I have to workout, and I don't mean a run of the mill workout. Try making yourself sick and heat stroke ready and thats just the warmup. I mean look at www.wabdl.org/oklahoma_records.htm and look under Mens single lift bench press Junior Men 20-25. That was before I decided to lose all my fat so I could attract my other half. Goodness. I'm in pain, I need morphine. Someone send me some skilled midgets, or a circus or something. Help!!! These are the words of one man who needed to release some pent up frustration. Please feel free to join in, and we can all whine together.

I've seen rants, and I've seen whines, but I don't think I've ever seen a whiney-rant as good as that. You are an artist.
I'm a complainer with a minor in whining, but you've just raised the bar to a new level that we, the unwashed masses, can only hope to come close to.

That is the strangest rant Ive heard. Ever tried to pull the oil pan 2.8 with the engine still in? I have and I regret every second of it. Glad I ditched that engine. Now from working on the big bronco i have 10-15 cuts, scratchs, chucks of skin torn off. I dont mind though.

i had to fix a leeak in my gas tank for local emisiions(hate them with a passion) and i had to drop the tank on a big bronco. man that fuel neck was the biggest i've had yet on my truck. because i am also 6'4" 250lbs i had to remove the rear wheel, crawl up in that space to get the darn fuel neck back onto the tank. man it sucked. so i think everyone that turns his/her own wrench feels your pain.

well lookie here my man bigfry is once again frustrated about his his rough hands. when you are good at what you do, sometimes your hands have to pay the price. I would take rough hands over radiator fluid hair any day. never worked on a VW before untill last week. tried to flush the radiator, NO DRAIN **** !!!! you have to pull off the hose at the bottom. Needless to say my hair which is down to the middle of my back, got drenched and ate some of my hair. Really cute. I was so mad, but hey now I know. feel free to make fun.. ha ha
