something to make u laugh

so i had a brain fart today.i had an hour lunch and wanted to tinker on the yota and decided to move the ecu to my glove box.(by the way that is the best mod ive done)anywho i began by removing the gb and ecu.easy took 1 minute.then i looked for a good spot to cut a hole in the gb.there is a square the exact size of the ecu plug in,on the back of the box.sweet.so i cut it out.i then put the ecu in there and the fuc$in wires wouldnt reach.so i then was pretty mad that i didnt even look to see how far they would reach.two made it easy,and the short one barely would reach but needed to go on the other side about 3 inches further.so i thought ok ill cut a new hole. so i cut a new hole 3 inches over.now i have 2 1"by3" holes in my gb.but the ecu plugs right in.then after almost putting it all back together i realized all i had to do is flip the ecu over and it would have fit the first hole.LOL.wow why r the easy things in life the hardest to figure out.

If they were easy the first time around, you wouldn't learn anything. In this case, simply flipping over the ECU
