Here’s how yesterday turned out – we got to the NAPA store by limping thru a town the size of Muskegon, got a fuel filter and that wasn’t the problem. Randy unhooked the truck from the trailer and a guy pulled him to a shop where there was a mechanic. He worked on the truck for maybe 4 hours (>$200 worth) and was late for going on his vacation today and the weekend. He found a problem with the fuel transfer pump. The only place we can get one is in Brandon which I think is about 1 hour from here. The plan was to drive the truck back here, hook back up and keep the truck running all nite and hope that today would be warm enough that the fuel transfer pump could handle the trip to Brandon. Just as Randy was pulling out of the garage the power steering line blew and they had to replace that!!!! We dropped and fed dogs and sometime during the nite the truck stopped running. So Randy got up and turned of f the fans and lights at 4:30am. Then about 7am we ran out of propane and by the time it got down to 40 degrees in the trailer it was time to get up and feed dogs again. So right now I have eggs and toast ready to eat and Randy is in the NAPA store trying to figure out what we can do other than sit here until Monday. If you have to be broke down, the middle of a mall with a Walmart and wifi is not so bad!!!!! Have you heard our country theme song………….”If it weren’t for bad luck, we’d have no luck at all………..”
