while everyone else was at the meet...
first off i have been banned from my b_hoov acct, i believe for my sig but am not sure, hope everyone had fun at the meet last night, i however loaded up the family and tried driving 5 hr away to my wifes aunts house, made sense, less traffic, i can go a little faster, jacob would sleep the whole time...so instead of going today we departed last night, well we left from commerce and were making great time, everyone was asleep besides me, i was tuning the the radio stations, we had like 80miles to go, crusing down the road at 75-80mph, this is all 85 north by the way, get past charlotte and headed down a slight grade, im onyl doing 70 so i gently press the gas, nothing happens, motor revs...no pull, of course im in my mother in laws pontiac transport van, and of course im in the far left lane, tried every gear and nothing works, finally i get over in the emergency lane, wake everyone up, check the trans dip stock, nothing, so lets review...4hr away from home, 2am, 5 month old in the car, broke down, 20 degrees outside...used the gps to locate a dozen or so toe truck companies, well they either did not pick up or told me to call someone else. a half hour or so goes by and up rolls state patrol, only time i have been glad to see flashing blue strobes in my rearview, so i talk to him an an hour later a tow truck shows up that he called, i ride on the tow truck, wife, mother in law, and jacob in the patrol charger, 85$ to tow it 2 miles to the quicky mart, bought 4 quarts of trans fluid thinking that would change something...no it didn't, so we decide to stay in a hotel, none of the shuttles run that late of course, found one that did and they drive out there, then everyone decides they would just rather have my wifes aunt drive out, so i have to tell the hotel guy thanks but nevermind, aunt did not arrive til 4am, arrived at her house around 5:15, it was an interesting night to say the least, hope everyone had a better time at the meet!
