Ship Of Fools

10/10/2010

So as I'm just waking up Saturday night and sitting at my desk, trying to figure out what I'm gonna do about my car being broke, I hear a shitload of sirens pulling up to what sounds like it's right in front of my house. Since there's a really nice lady who lives right across the street from me, I hurriedly walk outside to encounter this: The house across the street from me was on fire.
Yeah, pretty crazy right. While I'm standing there snapping pictures, I see some Po-Po's pulling in, and that's never a good thing at the scene of a fire. That means they found something in there that they shouldn't of, something criminal, and when I saw the false wall in the garage I was thinking meth lab, but instead, it was just a weed growing room.
A grow house, right across the street from me! If that don't beat all! LOL It was on the Channel 3 11 o'clock news later on that night, where they reported it as an electrical fire, which led to the discovery of a grow room. They also said they had a good idea who lived there which was good, because I sure didn't! ;-)
After they took a shitload of pictures (and told me I couldn't take pictures, for some strange reason), the Police called in some crime scene clean up crew to take all the stuff out, ripping like 25 or so plants out of this house, took all the grow room equipment apart and broke it and piled it up on the sidewalk, weighed the weed in cardboard boxes, took all the broken grow room equipment away, boarded up the house and left. Another win on the War on Drugs I guess.
The guy who owned the house came back at like 3 in the morning, looked at what happened and left. I can't imagine what was going through his head when he saw all this, but all I can say is, I hope he's got a good Lawyer! hahahaha And this is how I spent my Saturday evening, instead of going to Youth Brigade, instead of going to Raw Power, and instead of going to San-D and J-Sin of the Peccadilloes wedding. FML and curse my car for having a defective fuel pump. Again.

I dunno really. I'm the most non-mechanical dude you will ever meet! LOL I just go by what I'm told, and my mechanically inclined friend says it's the fuel pump, on account of some little nozzle like thing on the engine not squirting out gas at the right pressure or something. I'll pass the relay information on to him and see what he says though - Thanks! :-)

well what kinda car do ya have? If gas is coming out it might not be the relay.. as the relay is what supplies power to the fuel pump so if that goes out the pump wouldn't be working at all...... Also, have you changed your fuel filter lately?

And if you can't figure it out Ed can take a look at it... he's a mechanic he usually charges like $20 for repairs as long as you buy the neccessary parts

I got a 92 Chrysler New Yorker. My friend said he checked the relays and they were fine. I'm thinking it might be the fuel filter, as I've heard of things getting stuck in them and causing the engine to stall out and die, which is exactly what it was doing before it just up and quit on me. My friend is coming over to my house tonight, and he swears he's gonna get it fixed, and he's a BMW mechanic, so I believe him... lol If not though, Ed, here I come! :-)

Yea, if your filter gets clogged enough gas wont be able to get through it.

I was dealing with fuel problems with my car for the past few weeks.. my car is so old that there is so much crap in the tank and I didnt have a fuel filter between the tank and fuel pump so every time I filled up my tank my car would stop working. Turned out that the sediment from my tank would get disturbed when I filled up and make its way to my fuel pump... I by chance had picked up the fuel pump we replaced and noticed all this crap come out of it.

Man, I wish it was just a clogged fuel filter, but I was told that I have a blown engine, gaskets and bent rod. Phooey.

Dang that sucks... I ended up dumbping my 2000 ford taurus over the summer because it had a blown head gasket.... I couldnt afford the $1300 to get it fixed.. plus I was tired of how they make newer cars hard to fix at home by cramming everything in there.... when we redid the spark plugs it took forever because the back row was so cramped...
