Hey guys....what a Monday.....I couldn't get to sleep til about four this morning. My wife left the house at 6:45 to take her dad to the eye clinic. The next thing I know my eldest daughter busts in my room saying "mommys on the the phone and the van broke down"

Well up out of bed I get. The only other car at the house is my CRV. So out in the nice cold rain I'm unhooking my trailer off the truck.

Before my wife left the house she made a nice pot of Dunkin Donuts coffee. My daughter gave me a cup for the road.

A few miles down the road I spot my van........ my wife, mom and dad sit inside. We load up everyone in the CRV and now I sit here at the eye clinic.

At the eye clinic I notice it's free wifi.....so here I sit telling you guys my great Monday morning. My wife did bring a thermos of coffee with her.....that's good.

I'm sure my tow guy will have my van at the shop by the time we get there.

I'll check in later......today will be a short day :-)

.........Mark.......

38 outside here and going to be mid 20's tomorrow.  It's GREAT to have heat back and working in the house.  Stupid printed circuit board.  We've had the furnace 22 years and have put 4 boards in it.  I figure I'll use this board a couple years and replace the whole thing.

Mornin' guys and thanks for the nice comments about our new Springer/family addition. He's great !! We think he's about 4, and he loves to play. Very verbal, too. He brought us his new tug toy this morning and "talked" to us about playing. His name is "Baxter" and responds well to it. He must have had a name in a former life, but the rescue folks didn't know what is was. No matter. He's a happy boy and we are delighted!! Wishing you all the best day today. Chuck.

Look at the bright side you don't have to pay a mechanic and you know it will get fixed right. 

 

Was the wife mad, hope not.

sorry dtel I was going through some posts and saw your question.

 

No big deal, maby after a couple of years go back and dig to the bottom of that pile to get some really good potting soil, or worms if you fish.

These dogs really need, or care for there owners more than you might think, this story is out of Texas. The dogs owner was in the ambulance and he wanted to go, he rode here (pic) for 15 miles until another car seen him and they let him inside the ambulance.
