    Go to your fav sporting goods store, 'n purchase a pair of ski britches. I prefer oversized, with suspenders. Keeps ya warm, and they're good 'n waterproof.

    I share your misery, mine lost fuel pressure and stalled on the 11th, when we got it restarted, fuel was pressurizing and coming out of places it wasn't supposed to. The discussion between the boss and Mack/Volvo, "so who's footing the bill for $8,000 in new injectors and install after this has been going on for 3 yrs." In the meantime, I'm in a daycab, the upside, I can't go very far unless someone's paying for a hotel, the downside, I can't go very far so my paycheck is taking it in the shorts.

    Years ago, late at night, I was down under my car changing out a starter. I was having problems with it, and a wrench slipped, thereby causing damage to my fingers, loss of temper, and the turning blue of the surrounding air. I happened to look over toward my trouble light, which was laying on the floor of the garage.

    Big old tarantula was headed right for the light. Without thinking, I sent him to that big tarantula round up in the sky. And in doing so, smashed my hand AGAIN with the same wrench that had slipped a few seconds earlier. . .:biggrin_2551:
