if it's mechanical, don't let me touch it

I'm having one heck of a time with anything mechanical this weekend. On the way out to NH, that rattling sound I've put up with in my daily driver Jeep Cherokee turned into an intolerable cacophony - I poke underneath today to find out that either a big rock or some internal failure put a huge gash in the side of the transfer case!

Then I go to tear apart the Model A front axle ***embly I bought over in NH, except nearly everything I wanted to get off (spring perches, spindles, brakes) is rusted onto the axle - rusted beyond what PBlaster can help with. Plus, the damn thing is infested with ants that decide to all crawl out.

My computer has crashed about three times today.

And now my wooden chair is coming apart. I'm not even 200 lbs.!

I'm afraid of what'll happen when I go to make dinner tonight.
