ANGER!!!!!

Today was a waste! I spent 5 hours on a 2 hour task. And that is not the worst part! The worst part is that I actually did not accomplish anything. In fact I moved the project in a reverse direction, I am now further away from being ready for the road... Ugh. Here is the story: I went to the parts shop and picked up a new locking gas cap, a flasher and while I was there asked about wheel studs that I need to replace, I was excited to hear that there were 17 of them at the store down the street. I immediately headed over there and paid $43 dollars for a set of 8 new wheel studs and 8 new lug nuts. After I got home I tore into the right rear wheel and 4 hours, 2 calls to my dad for advice, 1 bleeding knuckle and 1 smashed swollen thumb later I discovered that the wheel studs were the wrong diameter! So I called the parts store to verify, and sure enough I had the correct wrong parts, I bit my tongue and thanked him for his help. It took me 30 minutes to slap it all back together so I could park the truck outside the garage before dark (4:40-ish) and 30 more minutes to clean up drips and streaks of 90W of the floor. I hope tomorrow goes better. The good thing is that now I can make that 2 hour job a 1 hour job, and I know that the rear brakes are ready to be replaced.
