Here's my current rant: 2011 seems to be one of those years that the Heaven's have opened up & decided to dump all the contents of God's almighty septic tank right on my head
.
The most pressing issue I have to rant about is my truck (Ford Explorer) being STUCK back in our mud pit of a pasture for the past month. How in the hell does a 4wd vehicle manage to get stuck in the mud? Here's how, broken down into step by step instructions.
1) Make friends with stupid, irresponsible people.
2) Mention to your idiot friend that the pasture can be fun to drive around in.
3) Don't mention that the snow melting & rainfall have turned your pasture into something fit for a mud wrestling competition because you assume it's a given.
4) Let idiot friend borrow your 4wd drive vehicle without asking any questions or bothering to watch which direction he's heading off in.
Of course he hauled *ss outta there & off our property once he realized it was stuck
. Thanks for not helping fix your screw up, dude, really appreciate it. Better hope I either don't see you again for a long time or you can outrun me because if I catch you, it's not gonna be pretty. There are exactly *2* people who can drive back there without getting stuck when the ground's like that--me & my husband. Dad can manage it most of the time but he's even gotten stuck before. You have to know EXACTLY where to go or you're coming back out on foot.
The best part? Now it's not wanting to start. I hope he just got mud up where mud doesn't belong and/or whatever it is is cheap & easy to fix. Can't even try to drive it out if it won't start. Dad tried pulling it out with his 3/4 ton Chevy 4wd trucks & it almost got stuck. Dad says the tractor won't pull it which I say is BS but he still won't let me try. I need to get ahold of my friend with the winch but he's either avoiding me, in jail, or something else because he's not answering my calls. It keeps raining every few days so the ground isn't wanting to harden up AND it snowed a couple days ago wtf? Tow trucks are $$$$ that I don't really have to spend but I will if I absolutely have to. There's also a humiliation factor involved with calling the tow truck--the cheapest one is the one we had to call last February to pull my van out after Dad ran over me (long story) & when I saw them back in early February they remembered me & what happened.
Does ANYONE have any suggestions for getting my truck out or why it might not be starting?
