just one of them days

well this morning i was at the coffee stand getting my morning brew and realized i had forgot my wallet. decided i would cruze home and get it befor work, being in such a hurry to make it to work on time i left my keys in the car and decided to go through the garage. walked in and it smelt like old stail oil...hmm odd, walked around the front of the 7 to find that the culigan 5 gal water bottle i have filled with old oil decided to crack and dump ALL 5 gallons over my carage floor. so i then had to put the front wheels on the car get it off the jack stands while rolling around in all the oil, well 10lbs of kitty litter and a little over 2hrs later the garage was dry but i bet my drive way will look sweet when it rains haha. seeing how the car is sitting out side i might take advantage of being able to open the doors all the way and hook up my ecu and reinstall the passenger seat.

anyways, dump your oil asap cause mopping up this **** sucks *****!

Same goes for tranny fluid. I yanked the auto out of my 93 MB Touring, cracking the drain before hand and getting a trickle out- figured it had been drained by the last shop. Yeah I was wrong.
10gal of kitty litter later and I got 90%of it picked up.

Boy that sucked.

Today I started stripping the FB for paint, got about oh 3%done and started to pass out- damn meds for getting wisdom teeth out.

... which is why I started storing used fluid containers in an big wheeled plastic bin.
And yes, one of them leaked, but it all stayed in the bin.

Haha, that reminds me. I was at a forum members house, moving some things to make room. I picked up a cooler and BAM oil leaked everywhere! Yeah, needless to say he will be putting it all in mike jugs asap.
