What a day yesterday was...

Just one of THOSE days...

Firstly my car ran rough,

It stuttered & shook,

It started but would not stay running,

Then on the second try it ran fine,

It made an even worse day more tough... 

 

All my deliveries were quite far out,

Or so it seemed, I doubled my miles,

I usually get done the day by about five,

Yesterday I was out till almost eight,

At home I never thought I'd arrive...

 

So let us hope the car problem is done,

I get the feeling it was water in the gas,

I enjoy to drive my route, it is usually fun,

But yesterday was the day from hell,

At least the weather had held,

Another day today in the bright beautiful sun...

Put some "dry gas" in your tank. The alcohol will bind with the water (usually condensate) and burn. Or fill up with gasohol once. Patrick

All in all you made it, sometimes upsets make your day. But not car wise that seems to be a bad thing always. it was a beautiful day to stay out later though. Today probably will go smoother.

Yep. I quite understand how a day that started out bed (car trouble) and continues to deteriorate as the day progresses. Hope you have a much better day today, Ed.
