Lost Contacts.

This week at lawson's was full of fun, excitement, and a big pain in the rear. Normally when I get to lawson's they are usuall working on an oil change, or a simple brake line replacement. But not this time, when I arrived they through me straight to work helping them replace the entire exaust along with a fuel pump, and a water pump out of a 2001 Ford Taurus. So right away I grabbed the saw and started cutting at the exaust, trying to cut it lose. I swear I was cutting at it for atleast 15 minutes until Jeremy finally came up to me and handed me a plasma cutter and told me that they just wanted to get a laugh out of me before they had to get to work. So I went ahead and cut the pipe clean off from the front of the catylitic converter back to the rear bumper. Unlucky for me though, the bracket that was suppose to be holding the exaust on. Ended up breaking in two before landing on my foot. Then for the second time I turned and saw Jeremy along with my grandpa this time laughing so hard, I was suprised they could even breathe. So I sat down and handed the plasma cutter to Jeremy and told him he can do it, telling him I wasn't going to mess with the exaust anymore.

After I had grabbed a coke and sat down, Jeremy's wife Santana and there little boy of 3, Aiden, showed up with dinner. Which just happened to be cooked cabbage, (which I had never had before, but if Santana cooked it, it knew it was going to be good). Which it truly was. But anyway, i'm getting to far ahead. Before we ate Jeremy and my Grandpa had finished the exaust, so we went ahead and started on the water pump knowing that it would take the longest. Then about an hour later after almost dropping the car off the lift due to a hydraulic malfunction. Along with drenching Aiden with water, which he didn't quite mind it. We went ahead and called it good and went and ate dinner while watching the news. After 5 minutes and 2 bites of food, Aiden said he was done and ran over to me and said he wanted to play. So I told him to give me a few minutes and that we would play tag which is his favorite game. But while I finished eating he wanted to know if he could play with my phone, so I let him. Not seeing the harm in it, but boy was I wrong. He didn't break it, but somehow he had managed to erase all of my contacts from my phone, and I had no way of getting them back. So we went ahead and played tag for a little while, his dad and my grandpa drank a few beers, and while Santana cleaned up the dishes. Then around what would have been like 11:30 p.m. Santana gathered things up and told Aiden it was time to go. Which when  they leave, the rest of us usually follow cause it usually is pretty late. So we said our goodbyes, and we all headed home still with the thought in our head that we still had a fuel pump to change.
