Had something like that happen to me but about a 1/3 of the poop. Went to a dunkin donuts for coffee and to see if a guy I know would show up. Sat there watching a large ball of sparrows flocking overhead. Well two cups and no show, time to go. Glad I my w/w bottle had a lot of fluid in it!! Goin' to the car wash!

this is one of the nicest most org motors I've ever worked on . This car is a 1968 sport fury conv. It's been owned by the same guy for the past 48 years (current owner) he is the second owner I believe the first owner was his aunt . Anyways I've been volunteering my time getting this ol Gail straightened out lots of little repairs today I rebuilt the leaky 2 brl carb. Then clean and repainted the new motor it had a bad fuel leak from the hoses a month ago and took alot of paint off . So the old man wanted it repainted . So I took it apart and taped stuff off . It looks brand new he said just like when he got it . And lucky for him I was given 4 cans of org mopar spray paint it's the old 60's red color he was upset because he couldn't find it for sale I then remembered I had old paint sure enough it was the color ,he was happy so I payed it forward with the sane stuff all I have left on the repair list is fix the hole in the exhaust pipe . Grease car . Service car (oil change) adjustments as needed .
The owner is getting very antsy as he's going into a full hip surgery within the month. And sadly his daughter is a druggy in a different state lucky she can't do anymore harm from there .
Last time he was in hospital she came and sold alot of his prized possessions she almost sold his sport fury off for a whole $3500 but no cash all drugs the guy was trying to get that much together.
Lucky he has now put me in charge of his stuff daughter was wrote off! Got to love kids . So yeah I guess I got adopted by an old man the as I told him I enjoy working on the cars

Great job you have done there , and blessings to you for protecting an older person. I have seen a old family friend shamelessly ripped off of their life savings ( learned of it after the fact)............MO

Thanks ,mostly he can't afford the repair work ,it honestly started as I told him I would set his timing after the shop got threw with his car and it drove like crap. I didn't know this man but hey he asked if I could I said sure and the more I hang with him the more we get along . He's almost like another grandfather to me . Today me and my wife went to sit with him today we found out he is going in for surgery soon two weeks and he has no friends or family (that's worth a f###) left they all past away . He's going for a full hip replacement so we volunteered to help him why he's at home . He eats threw a tube and his food needs to be prepared so luckily my wife has a few kids in her pre school that have the same deal . So we shouldn't have any problems. Yeah it's not fun nor is it helping me in anyway .but sometimes it's not about that . If I can give this guy a good remaining years why not. His only kid is a huge drug attic last time she saw him was 20 years ago when he was in hospital she came sold everything of value on him and was gone before he was out of the hospital. She called him a few mouth s back looking for a place to stay he had to tell her no way . It's sad . He was going threw family pictures today trying to make a photo album half way threw he got up and threw it all away . I asked what's wrong he said I don't know why in wasting my time no one knows anyone in there and when I die someone is just going to throw it out anyways. I looked at him and said yeah your probably right screw it let's go take the fury out for a cruise instead .... he was much happier when we got back from a cruise.

It will be more of a job than most people could deal with constantly. Look into some kind of healthcare that is designed to help older folks that are living alone in their own homes...........................MO
