Bad luck?

John says if it weren't for bad luck we wouldn't have any luck at all.

2 weeks ago it was something with the van, before that a light in the Xterra, now the power steering went up in the Jeep. John has been working on it since 10am this morning, bad parts having to go back has slowed him down considerably. Oh, and let's not forget right now the Taurus has the engine sitting on the ground while a new one is being put in. Oh, and he told me a light blew in the van.

Yep, we have 4 vehicles. Doesn't sound like bad luck at all, huh. We've been lucky to get good deals on 2 used vehicles in the past couple of years, 1 of which owes us nothing from what its already been driven by us. We're lucky that when 1 goes up we have another one to drive until its fixed. We're lucky that we have a friend who will work on things with John for a little money. We're lucky that John himself is mechanically inclined and can do little things himself.

I think an adjustment needs to be made (I'll give him some leeway, he was just frustrated, and at least he said it with humor in his voice.)

We have that good luck/bad luck thing happen to us a lot too. I hope he can fix it soon. That sucks.

Thanks! It's fixed, finally, lol. But, as with the laws or nature, the screen door broke yesterday with the wind b/c JJ was in a hurry to go out. And, last night my dryer was acting funny (but its more than 8 years old, its bound to happen sooner or later.) Oh, well, its all minor stuff that John can fix!

And now, the latest, the thermostat is up on the van, so it will warm up but once I'm driving without stopping the engine temp goes down, and its cold, brrrrr. John said that's a cheap part and quick to fix thankfully!
