Almost suffered a TKO today!
It started out this morning,,,truck comes in,,check engine light on.Ok,I take the scanner out on the lot and scan it. Hmmm, rear speed sensor failure. No big deal,I know exactly what the problem is,,the wires are going to be broken where they leave the frame and loop down to the axle. So,I go back in the shop,grab my soldering iron,shrink tube,strippers and solder,,and head back out to the lot. I figured it would be quicker to just lay under the truck on the lot,then it would to bring it in,,set up the lift,,raise it,,and then fix it.
So,,there I am,,under the truck,,minding my own business,reach up,,separate the loom,and then lay my head back down. As soon as I do,,,BAM! This *&%$#$ kitten attacks me! Came out of nowhere! Hit me when I wasn't looking! Startled me so bad that,,,,(did I mention I was under a truck?) I jumped up,,,hit my head on the axle so hard it almost knocked me out! MAN! THAT HURT! So,,I lay there for a minute,,,dazed and confused,,,all the time that stupid kitten is laughing! Well,,I finally get my senses back,,wipe the blood off my face,and proceed to fixing the truck. The whole time,,this kitten just sits there contently watching me. I crawl out,,rescan the truck to verify the repair,and then walk back into the shop. That little @#$%$# follows me!
I walk up to the service counter,,my boss says,,MY GOD! What happened to you? I try to explain,,,(didn't work),,,for the rest of the day I was the receiving end of jokes like,,,Whats the matter old man,,cant handle a little pu##y? Oh well,,,I dish it out most of the time,,so I guess today was my turn. Oh,,,the kitten? He?She?It,,decided to hang out with me all day. When I went to lunch,,I bought him?Her?It? a cheeseburger. That poor kitten wolfed it down so fast that it was obvious it hadnt eaten in awhile. Ok,,so I am a softy for animals,,I cant help it. Yup,,I brought him?her?it? home! And now he?Her?It? is sitting on my lap as I type this. Stupid cat,,STOP LAUGHING!

Ok,,not really,but it sounded good. And they do have a talent for making my head hurt! And of course,,,typical female,,,give a guy tons of affection,,until another female enters the picture,,then,,,they wander off together and leave a poor guy all by himself,,,,Oh well,,,I just scored major "Daddy did good points" with my little girl,,,even if she stole my kitten!
When she got here, her fur was all plastered to her face and came to a point at her chin from the sticky, sweet milk they tried to feed her, and her ears shot straight out to the sides,,, she looked just like a little devil cat, so we named her Diablo!!
Anyway, the kids and I took turns bottle feeding her and keeping her company. She turned out to be a pretty cool cat!! I don't think she realizes that she is a cat, she thinks she's a very short person.
When she decides she wants affection, she jumps up onto your shoulder and just hangs there, draped over your shoulder, kind of like a parrot!! She's quite a character!
