Miracles about the '91 Civic


I had just sprayed my civic's engine clean when my new neighbor Kevin stopped in (That's him with the giant flower behind his ear) for a quick visit. After he left I found my engine smoking and the alternator shorted out because I'd gotten it and battery wet. The next day I located a replacement alternator for 100$ and replaced it in the driveway within 3hrs after looking at the manual. 1st Miracle.

As I was finishing up, Claire (almost 2y/o poomaker) came out and began playing in the car. I was under the car with my black, greasy arms in the motor to the elbows when she says from above "Daddy...poo-poo." I get up to find her loaded diaper laying open in the passenger seat and she is standing naked in the driver's seat with a total packed mudcrack for a bottom. I had JUST cleaned the inside of that car and now a turd tornado was about to touch down in there. I removed her and the mudpie diaper and found NO TRACE OF TODDLER DOOKS anywhere. Miracle #2

A successful alternator install and huge pookie close-call. No complications. Two miracles, one Civic...one afternoon with a beautiful sunset as the closing curtain. Thanks God for my clean, functioning Civic.
