Well I told you last nite that the truck stopped running right about an hour after we got it back....we fed dogs and I ran (well....not literally ran...) to the store to pick up some things and then we were going to drop again and then go down the road abit. While I was gone the truck stopped running independently (and and boy, is this truck independent...or possessed????) and Randy could not start it again. Right away this morning he went into the NAPA and told the guy and he called the mechanic, the mechanic came over in the 0 degree weather and looked at it, and in the process burnt up the brand new starter ($500) - so now the mechanic has come and gotten the truck - again.... (at least this time there was no earthquake-like shaking of the trailer - it pulled off nicely!) and he told Randy that it would be at least all day as he already had a truck torn apart in his garage. Can you imagine the "bigger pickle" we would have been in had we decided to take off right away last nite - we wouldn't have been able to communicate with the mechanic or have internet or any of those other really important things!! Will let you know as soon as we do!
