Why do you keep calling it a "selenoid"? I believe you mean solenoid.
Because my auto-correct doesn't hit on it, and I'm not a mechanic or electrician.
One thing I've noticed in my 50 odd years of living on this planet is that people with bad attitudes tend to have more than their share of bad luck. Now, I don't really believe in bad luck per say, it seems people manifest things around them. I think it's because people who are easily irritated at certain things are very vocal about it, thus giving that APPEARANCE. I have had some AMAZING luck in life, too. For example, I have a laundry list of X gf's who I think are great people, who I still talk to. Almost no horror stories in my "love life". I have a ton of industry connections to FN, Surefire, KAC and many other lesser knows. Very high ups that I'm on a first-name basis with. I get some cool toys to play with, gratis. I consider that "lucky", as I shook the right hands at the right time. I was one of something like half a dozen people out of over 40 who graduated in my class, on time. I can point to any number of things and say "Man, I am lucky!". So don't just think because my Mazda s**** the bed, the rest of my life does, too. I just don't b**** about some things as much as others. Nor is this a dating, land-buying, or gun forum, or about academic or professional success, either (I love my job, both for the pay and for the position. Since we last brought the topic up, I have had a nearly 30% pay raise, and work a much better position for my resume, and have a schedule that I set. As long as I work 4 days a month, g2g.) Positive happy people manifest positive happy things, angry, negative people manifest unhappy, negative things into their lives. It's perhaps related to the concept of self-fulfilling prophecy (if you think everyone is out to screw you, you will probably get screwed). Well I'll keep that in mind as regards to my paycheck, biceps, and manhood. All of them are HUGE, HUGE, HUGE!!! ROFL!
Now I'm not saying that's what happened here - I'm really not superstitious like that and I don't know all the particulars (whether the differential fluid was properly changed, how deep the water was, etc. etc. etc.) But I do think your attitude could stand some improvement. Life is too precious to be so negative about so many things. And please lose the hard-on you seem to have for this MikeM. character Oh, wait, that's me!
Mike, you're some guy on the forum who, quite frankly, as far as I know, is a dead-end for me, politically and socially. I could be totally wrong. You may be SOMEBODY to me, and I just don't know it, but brother? you have not sent me any gear to T&E, you have not PM'ed me any discount codes. You have not kicked any of my pets. You have done nothing to me, and very little "for" me (you do correct my spelling errors...). If you think I'm wrapped up around the axle about you, I think you're giving yourself a bit much credit. This is a forum. I come here for entertainment, and to answer/provide feedback on easy questions regarding the CX-5, and in general, shoot the s***. Not because I am obsessed with Mazda, not because I am in love with the platform, and not because I'm fishing for industry contacts. I don't believe Mazda has any industry contacts on this forum, from what I've seen, anyway. Back when I had a Z06, I did have the plant GM's cell number in my phone, and yes, it paid off on occasion, but this Mazda isn't a passion, it's a tool. Like a Glock. And it's malfunctioned. Unlike my Glocks. So I'm venting about it and chronicling the saga because it's cheap, and I've nothing better to do on my weeks off.
