*is startled* Holy crap! Don't sneak up on people like that! :illgetu: Just about jumped out of my skin...
Aw that sucks :( did you eat something bad?
Maybe a story of my stupidity will make you feel better! Here goes...
So I was changing the oil on my dads car yesterday and the oil filter is in the most horrid spot to get to with a conventional oil filter wrench. Usually I can get it off but not this time. Whoever did it last cranked the sucker on there :gonk: I tried puncturing it and cranking on it with a screwdriver but no good. I must have spent an hour on it. So I gave up for the night and then this morning went to the auto store and bought an oil filter wrench that is configured for tight to reach spots. I go home and give it a try and I can still barely get the thing to budge! :shock: I put a ton of torque on it and still only moved in little bits. After a half hour I was like, this is ridiculous. Took the wrench off and decided to feel around a bit (can't see it) and my hand came across the familiar feel of a screwdriver handle... Yes... That's right. I forgot to take out the screwdriver I had used last night before I used the new wrench. All I had ended up doing was wedging the handle against the engine block and torquing on the shaft till it bent quite a bit. Anyway, Took out the screwdriver and the oil filter came right off at that point. Seriously... How stupid can I get? :lol:
Did I tell you were moving? My aunt & uncle got a new house.
It's a four bedroom house with a HUGE kitchen.
I'm excited. They're giving me and Micaela our own rooms.
