I have a problem with the number thirteen in general. Whenever something bad happens 13 is there more often than not.
This morning on Friday the 13th one of my employees managed to down load a spy ware virus. It took me 2 hrs and three programs to kill it.
Here's just a few of the times 13 reared it's ugly head,
Apollo 13
The only Concorde to crash was the thirteenth built
A woman goes thru her cycle every 28 days.. 356 divided by 28 = 13
There was 13 people at the last supper.
My engagement party was on March 13,1993 on that day the storm of the century hit NY.... party was canceled
My Grandfather died(RIP) on 8/2/03 add that up, yep 13
13 men went in to that mine a couple of weeks ago
Time for me to wrap my self in bubble wrap and lock myself up in the closet for the night

well it almost turned out to be one, i replaced my pump diaphragm on my carb bout an hour ago and was taking it out for a test and well, i wasnt exactly easy on the gas and i was sideways on the only straight away on the mountain with tires spinnin and then bleh.... my truck just dies and rolls to a stop. luckily the house was only about a half mile up the strait so i ran back got my dad hopped in the jeep with some gas and tools checked the gas (tank pukes about an 1/8 tank a night so i was running it on a seperate fuel system that i rigged up) and it was out. that was a relief i just got back from driveing it up here.
so my answer is no i got lucky it wasnt something major

I love Friday the 13th!
It was Friday the 13th when I met the girl I maried.
It was Friday the 13th when we got maried.
It was Friday the 13th when we saved our house from forclosure.
I'm fealing blessed on Friday the 13th, I made sure to step on all the cracks and walk under ladders today just to give a big middle finger to whatever evil may be lurking in the shadows.

Well...I damn near made it through the day with nothing bad happening.....then about 11:50 pm I was on my way home, about 1 mile from my house, and I hit a patch of ice, ran thruogh a fence, and finally got my truck stopped by a convinentaly placed tree. It was my own fence, so I thought I would just back up drive home and fix everything tomorrow. So I started to back up, and I soon found out that my truck wouldn't turn and my brakes wouldn't brake, so then another conviently placed tree stopped me again. So now my truck is sitting in the middle of the road blocking both lanes, can't turn my truck and even if I could, I couldn't stop it. So I called my dad and he brought a tractor and drug me to the side of the road untill I can get a wrecker truck to haul my truck somewhere.
Before I left the house this afternoon, something told me to just stay home....but I just wouldn't listen.
