Coffee and pumpkin bread!!! Thanks, I needed that.
Bluesman, I was wondering where Raven has been. Tell her she is in my thoughts.
Nice to see you here Bluesman.
Well, had a crazy day yesterday. Got my cleaning done and then I am driving home. I turned at the cut off and I was thinking "I am on the home stretch" About a hundred feet later I hear a huge ka boom. I'm thinking I couldn't have hit anything cause I would have seen any rock that was that could make that big of a noise. When I pull over and shut her down, I see that my Toyota Forunner is driping radiator fluid and there is something in the road. I walked back and picked up some sharp pieces so no one would get a flat tire I got the hood open. The fan had come apart in a catastrophic failure. There is fan pieces everywhere. The air filter is dented. The radiator looks bad!!!!
This is when living in the cell phone era is the best!!! I was hoping someone would drive by that I knew but no one did. I called down my list of neighbors and friends and on the third try, I found someone who could pick me up. She was so sweet and wouldn't even take gas money. Then, I got the animals fed and the goat shed some clean straw. Everyone needed water.
I get into the house and one of my other neighbor's calls. When is Hubby going to be home? Did we want him to help get the truck on his car hauler trailer? I didn't know when Hubby was coming home but I sure appreciated the offer and volunteered to go with him so we could get the truck loaded before dark. He wouldn't take any gas money either. Said Hubby helped pull him out of the sand the other day and I could NOT give him any money for gas.
So, I may have a $300 or $400 just in parts job here but I sure do feel good that I have such kindly neighbors that would help me out like that. Hubby has already ordered the fan and the shroud over the internet. The fan clutch and the radiator are available at the parts store in Dayton. We may get my Toy back on the road this weekend. We shall see. In the meantime, having the extra truck we bought for hauling the horse trailer is going to pay off since I can still go to town and get my hair cut today. Gotta look cute for the company Christmas party on Saturday. Plus, it is fun to drive that truck with its 454 engine.
[/QU.......................should I stay or should I go.................if I go there will be trouble and if I stay it will be double.............yeah im a clash fan
Prior to the cell phone era, this would have been a much tougher scenario to handle. Once I sat for several hours in the mountains leaving messages with passersby to send a tow truck back to me when they got to a town. Only maybe five people came by. Someone finally did show up from the town.
dot good enough for me. Yey, Lets
