it was gonna happen lol.
Took a blanket with me just to be on the safe side.
Ran fine till Corydon.
After I had a bite to eat I started it back up and the oil light stayed on.
Drove across the street and bought a qt of oil.
Put half of it in and checked it again.
Didn't look like it had moved.
Put the other half qt in.
Must have been to much.
Never ran right after that.
No pick up, sputtering.
When I lifted off the gas it stalled out.
Text you.
First thing.
It was 5:15, wasn't sure what to do.
To far for mom and Al to come get me with bad weather comin.
Same for Janet.
I had called AAA but they had me on the phone forever.
Called the wrecker service from the time a few years ago when the fuel pump went out.
We figured out what garage in Corydon to take it to.
Ice and snow comin for cryin out loud lol.
Any way, got the wrecker and garage all figured out, figured James was on his way home from work.
I was probably 15 miles past his exit.
He came and got me, brought me to work.
What a guy.
Need friends like that.
Never an ounce of hesitation in his voice,
"Alright man, I'm on my way."
How awesome is that?
Anyway, now I need a ride to Janet's in the AM.
James said he has that covered as well when Carlos gets in.
Called Janet to let her know.
Left a message on her machine.
I guess I will be driving Nicholas vehicle for a bit.
Till riding season comes anyway.
It's like leaving a family member your not sure will ever be the same again.
This truck is like family.
If it doesn't cost to much I want to fix it.
Hope so anyway.
If not?
Oh well.
13 years and 196,000 miles, can't complain to much.
Love you Bambi.
