So I'm in Indiana, it's my weekend at Mama Vi's. It's also my class reunion. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I didn't really want to go - but being the good friend that I am....I drove 4 hours, got here, took a shower, changed and jumped in the car. I get about 3 blocks from Mom's and....nothing. I mean NOTHING. The flippin' car just shut off. Stopped. Nothing. N.O.T.H.I.N.G.
I called my sister to see if she and her boyfriend would come and see if they could tell what it was. The battery was fine - everything else was dead. Then - of course I called Teresa. Why? Because I could.
Anyway - we couldn't find anything blaringly suspect so I ended up calling a tow truck and having Maggie May towed into PepBoys. DAMN IT! NOT what I need right now.
But I will say this much - the guys here at this PepBoys in Mishawaka ROCK!! They had a tow truck here in no time. They stayed late to try and figure out what's wrong...because they understand that I'm from out of town and need to be on the road as early as possible tomorrow.
It looks like I just knocked a wire loose and if that's the case it's all fine. If not..well, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
The good news is I didn't have to go to the reunion. AND I get pizza. AND I get to spend the evening with Mom watching the weather channel. Yeah, it's a bonding experience for us...what can I tell you.
So - here's to hoping that it's all just a minor inconvenience and that tomorrow morning I'll be on the road with Cody, singing away to my favorite CDs, like nothing every happened.

Hope things work out fine for ya! :)
Posted by: That 1 Guy at July 10, 2005 07:40 AMI had to laugh when I read how much you didn't want to go to your class reunion. I have managed to avoid all of mine so far. One year when I lived in Phoenix, I even bought a plane ticket to come, and at the last minute gave it to my sister so I could go to a rodeo in Colorado. I went to school down the hill from you in Oregon. Couldn't stand the people in my class then and still can't.
