Ruts 2

Well.
I now can say I know how to replace a serpentine belt and tensioner on a 1995 Ford pickup truck
& I didn't even have to call in my drunkin, swearin sailor self to do it.
Nope.
I remained calm, cool and collected.

oh, yes I did.

For those of you who missed it, our extremely loyal, never one to complain, old faithful Ford pickup has been lodging in the mucky mud of our backyard for a few days.
It was placed there by a strange string of "ARE YOU KIDDING ME ?!?!" events that, at the time, seemed mini disastrous
& to add insult to injury, the Ford's serpentine belt and tensioner broke in the process of it all.

grrrrrrrrrr !!!

At the time, I was pretty upset
But today, I'm wondering why.
Why did I let a stuck pickup and a couple of ruts in the grass upset me so ?!?
It really was no big deal
& things happen.
But, at that moment in time, I was pretty convinced that crappy things only happen to Husband and me
Everyone else gets a pass.
See ?
This is my brain in Humph Mode.

boo hoo.
poor me.

I have to remind myself every so often that I am a true believer in everything happens for a reason
& although I still can't figure out why I need those ruts in my yard, I'm ok with it.

The truck is out of the muck and back in the driveway
& I can proudly say "Yeah. I fixed it !" because, guess what ...?....
I fixed it !!
Woooooooo Wooooooooo ! ! !

I know. I know.
I couldn't have fixed it without the man but, shhhh, let me enjoy this awesome moment of me please.
YaY.

Yep.
It all turned out just fine.
& yep
Everything does happen for a reason.

So if you happen to need a serpentine belt and tensioner replaced ...?...
Call me.
I got this.
