Well this post should have been done on my parent's comp in NE while we were waiting for phone and dsl.......but instead it is being done in Great Bend KS!
We rolled through the portion of the town we needed, saw no restuarants easily got to, checked the gas gaged and kept rolling through town. Randy flashed his lights at me. It was about 6pm. I pulled over and he pulled behind me and he was cursing majorally!
His transmission line was leaking like a stuck pig! First he tried tightinging the seal where it was leaking. That didn't work. Then he took my truck, the kids and I stayed in the big truck and he ran back into Great Bend for some things. He tried fixing the truck with a few redneck tricks and they didn't work! Of course not! So I jumped back in my truck went running into town found a hotel and went back and got everyone to the hotel.
Randy got his transmisison line off last night, we snuck the birds into the hotel and the cats were very well insulated in their carriers in the truck. Towels in their kennals, and lots of blanekts and bags of clothes around them. We took turns checking on them last night even in the middle of the night. They are good but very pist off. They are getting major treats when we get to granny's house! I will give them a bit of a treat when i feed them this morning and clean out their kennals. I would be pist also even if i was in the Cab insulated fromt he cold!
The kdis and I are getting the sniffles of course. So far this move has sucked but neither Randy or I are out right irritated. This is an easy fix in truth as long as he can find one part to fix the sealer. Perferrably the whole line but that might not happen becuase it is one of those fixes that the dealer likes to carry themselves. Randy can always just jimmy rig a sealer to get us home!
The parental units know where we are at and my mom is preparing an extra kitty box and some cans of tuna for my kitty's since she knows they are going to be very very pissy and had to spend the night in the truck. We have a ways to go yet and now we are just waiting on stores to open!
Where's that posiitve energy at folks:P ehhehehe. Seriously if you can please send us some so we can get this truck fixed with lil problems and back on the road before the snow is suppose to hit. Thanks:D
