well folks, Murphys law has hit the stoyve household with a vengeance.
1. Two weeks ago while coming back home from a job 100kms from home , the heads went on my work/play twin cab 4wd.
Of course the temp gauge didn't do it's job so the 1st a new there was a problem was when the engine and management system light up on the dash and you guessed it, the engine is cooked.
2. On Monday while driving Mrs Stoyves car towing my trailer about 50kms from home I noticed great billowing clouds of smoke in the rear vision mirror, oh no I thought, now the wife's car is dead?? But no, it was smoke coming from both trailer tyres from rubbing against the guards because the welds had let go on the leaf spring mounts so the axle moved about 15 degrees on an angle.
Ok I say to myself, suck it up princess you can use your much older and smaller trailer, so get on with it.
So I get that sorted and then comes today.
3. I'm on site with my pressure cleaner with about half an hour to complete a big job when my v-twin 21hp Honda engine dies 8)
All I can say is you've gotta have a laugh or you would go nuts.
So I'm still smiling because nothing can change what's happened.
if nothing else, I might have entertained someone.
Cheers Steve
