Default how was your day?

Well just thought i open up a broad topic and see how everyones day was.

Mine was great read stuff to write a quick paragraph about what work for the depression for all the countries involved in WW2. Take my brother and myself to our friend to get our hair cuts got done started to go to grotto's and get sum pizza ive aready heard my one pad going new stuff goes on friday. then all of a studden the truck starts to do that jerking ive beening wodnering about kinda ruff didnt think to much of it. after eating get in my truck and started driving its started to jerk worst then last time and i hear a "DING" well always keep the computer in my truck so while driving i hooked it up... well number 6 is having missfires. and not random ones but constantly, i know when the new plugs were put in he did say one looked alittle weird. they are the NGK V-power so i guess along with getting the new front end on (rotors slotted and dimpled, new higher calibers, pads, brake lines done and new fluid) all for no more then $150 so now looks like a new spark plug is going in and i guess why the hell not and put the 180 stat in it along with sum more dex coolant which bothers me cuz ive just put a whole bottle in it... think shes eating it or am I just looking after shes be running?

My day started off fine, nice weather, no issues at work. On my way home i heard a slight squeal from my power steering pump. So i checked the level, it was way low, i got a leak in one of the pressure lines, but nothing major. Just top it off right... Whoops I put power steering fluid in that i had in the garage until i remembered that our pumps use ATF-4. looks like my weekend just got shorter gotta flush the entire thing out.

Beautiful day here on the central east Fl coast. On the launch pad this morning setting up equipment for an launch next week. We had to leave early cause Obama is riding around out here looking at whatever. They shut down the entire air station and most of the Cape for one person. I don’t care who you are that’s crazy. So the good thing is I don’t have squat to do the rest of the day. Thanks prez I need the rest.
