Had a pretty bad start to the week. Monday our car locked its engine up. At the same time my other car, the Tahoe, has had a leaking radiator I have been putting off until I could come up with $400-$500to put a new radiator in. So we were stuck with no vehicles. What a pickle. Well I was able to work out a deal with my local mechanic, and a really nice guy. I traded him the car to fix my truck. But there was a problem. Shop was 30 miles away. Tow would cost 75-100 dollars each. I talked to my old landlord into using his dolly and towing the car to the shop with my wife following in the truck, stopping every so often to refill the radiator. Well they both made it. nother problem. We didnt have a ride to pick it up the next day. ARGGGGH! So I had to ask my landlord for another favor. Well, we picked up the truck today, and it runs like a champ. Now we are shopping for a replacement car. Unfortunately, I will probably have to trade the Tahoe in to get another car. I dont want to but I cannot afford 13-15 mpg as a daily driver. Im gonna miss that truck.
On the bright side, we had planned a trip to Florida this week but moved it to Thanksgiving week. So we almost got stranded out of town. Guess the Good Lord knows what He is doing after all.
