I'm Tired

Last weekend was a bad one. I headed home on my three hour journey so that I could fix the valve cover gasket in my nissan, and my head gasket on my BMW. I arived home at about 6 o'clock friday evening. I wanted to be able to get started on my BMW right away on saturday so I decided to take the car out of the barn that night. I drove the truck up to where I'd be take the car out to make a path through the snow. I then tried to open the barn doors which were froze shut. It took me about two hours to chip the ice away and finnaly get the doors open. I started my car and proceded to back it out. The car slid down a bank, and got stuck in deep snow. After digging and trying to drive the car out I decided to pull it with the truck. A rope or any connecting object was no where to be found. After about an hour of looking I found an old horse rope. I tied that to the truck and my car and got it pulled out. Now I needed to get the car in the garage. Cleaning it was the first task because I wouldnt have been able to fit a bike in there, much less a car. After it was clean I had to open the door. The garage door was also froze shut but after several minutes of chipping ice, it was free. As i lifted the heavy door, I noticed it was jamming. I had to dis connect the door from the motor completley. I got the door open and drove the car in. I was finally done at 11:30pm. Friday happened to be the easiest and most productive day I had all weekend, saturday and sunday were hell.
