Do they come in threes?
Yesterday after mowing the yard, I was using the trimmer when it started vibrating badly, so I shut it off and now it is kaput. Then last night when we get home there is a puddle of water in front of the fridge. It appears there is a leak somewhere in the fridge related to the ice maker/cold water line. What's next?

Shussss! Nothing goin on. Noone talkin bout nothin. Like when we're in Colorado noone says the r word. Cause who ever does is the one blamed fer it. We all see the rai.......eh Colorado Dust storm coming but no one sas the R word. I think folks are skeerd ta say anything in case it spreads. Hope you are in for a streek of good luck. We all have been though those times an don't even want to think bout it. Good thoughts. Good thoughts.

Thanks Jack. I just figured out maybe this included the third element because earlier in the week the phone and internet weren't working and we had to have a new line run to the house. Lucky on that one cuz it was outside, so the responsible party is ***.

I'd kinda hoped I had my list down to just the roof....until wife said last night, oh, yeah, guess what happened today.
Yeah, or the utility room. Between cars and appliances, I think I've had my fill of scary noises and odd smells for a while.
I need to get a bucket of tar for the roof....actually, I need to put a new roof on the trailer, but I don't want to spend that either. Trying to save up to buy a real house.

Sounds like the bucket of tar time.
Did the scary noises and smell come from under the bed? LOL

Of course you guys remember the wreck, so there is one
Then I got the bright idea that I would have the shop fix it while I was in school, therefore I made arrangements to fly out of Manhattan, lined it up so I could drop the van off, and walk to the airport (1/2 mile away) ok, no problem...
Corporate travel changed my flights so now I have to fly out of KCI, and back into KCI, bragging about how much money they saved the company.. so now I have to drive two hours to KCI, and two hours back. there's two...
I then thought, I could still get the van fixed if they just rent me a car to get from Manhattan to KCI, and I would turn it in there, then rent me one for the return trip.. EXCEPT...They won't rent vehicles for me on a weekend which is when I would have to pick it up in order to make it to the airport on time..There's three..
I called my boss to see what he wanted me to do, he said wait till I get back and get it fixed.. he will loan me another van.. so there is 4 more hours round trip to KC to pick it up, 4 more hours round trip to take it back. Four?
Wonder how much of that EFFING money we saved?
I ain't bitter....grrrrr..

Ordered the part to fix the fridge today. After shipping, it will cost $72 and I get to do the labor myself. I guess it is still cheaper than a new one. Shoot, that would have bought a bunch of truck parts.
