stuff happens in threes

why do bad things always happen in threes????

just finnished fixing my under-slab water leak. had to chip thru 4-6" concrete and 2 feet of clay to find the leak and replace the mess of PVC and copper lines that feed into the house. all thru an 8x8 inch opening.

just as I finnish that my LeBaron springs a fuel leak in the tank supply line.

get that finnished and then the 300TDT starts leaking from one of those bizzare shaped heater hoses. The one's that no parts store ever carries or even can special order. 3/4 heater hose in a nice oversized "loop" for a temp fix until my favorite go-to source ships me an entire set of all 9 coolant hoses for future back-up.

well, I guess now that it's 3 leaks in a row, and i do mean right in a row, only a few hours between them...that now I'm safe for a while

Is it any coincidence that that is the same number of letters after the 300 in your vehicle wagon signatures??
I think not.........



The Keepers of Correct Terminology wish you a Merry Christmas, and hope your run of bad luck is over.
