I know your pain, I filled my new blower up with full synthetic and it foamed from the little bit of oil that was in there, three times off and on and it still has foam, (got to take if off to get all the oil) and then I said F#$@ it and took the sight glass off the from fired it up and stood back while all the oil came out as i was dumping new in, then put it back on and filled it up and guess what foam

I know exactly what you are saying. I replaced the engine in my truck not that long ago and it took 4 times in and out to get it right. It seemed like everything that could go wrong went horribly wrong. Look at it this way, when it is done(if that is ever possible) you will be happy. Keep at it and it will eventually come together. I tend not to punch and throw things since it gets expensive usually. But believe me I know the feeling.

I know the feeling. So my advice is to remember that

"Somedays you're the windshield,somedays you're the bug."

someone will steal that line and make a country hit song out of it.

Ahhh, these trying times....bad financial news; 401(k) taking a dump. Housing markets suck. Gasoline is going up and down like a yo-yo....

All of this just adds insult to injury when we just can't seem to get it right when we are doing the one thing that we think we are in control of.

Oh yeah, remember Murphy?
