Madly cursing mechanic

The madly cursing Mechanic

It was obvious from the moment I saw the mechanic that would work on Benzi, that he would solve the problem.
In the morning I had walked in to the garage and asked about when and if they could fix my problem that day. This guy was then working on an other truck and was probably the filthiest of all the workers in there. This did put my confidence in him.
When he then stared swearing fiercely while working on Benzi. I became certain that he would solve this mystery. I thought no one could swear so much, and still smile in-between, but me. I proofed me wrong.

Actually I have surprised my self on this trip. I probably have never ever been calmer and this habit of mine which I have sadly had for the past 20 years of cursing and swearing and even kicking objects when something goes wrong or not as planed has miraculously disappeard.

I knew before taking on this trip that there would be problems. I also knew ( as I have always known) that shouting screaming and jumping up and down does not solve any thing. It just keeps you from thinking strait.
This mechanic would try this and that and after trying almost avery thing he said that his educated guess was the pre fuel pump. Still he would want to do several other tests before going on and order a new pump. So on he kept swearing and then with a smile come with suggestions and discuss with me options.

Of course he was right. It was the pump but having check every thing else out gave me a better feeling. I also learnt a lot about the engine and how it works. That the mechanic took care of.

Now just lets hope the car will run smoothly. I for one will behave smoothly. No more cursing and swearing. Well at least not in normal cases. Maybe in extreme cases.
