The tow truck said his shop was too busy on Saturday to take drop in (or tow in) customers, so he towed them to the PEP Boy’s parking lot and dumped them. The state police was happy, the truck was off the entrance road to the airport, the tow truck operator was happy he got a tow and didn’t have to go far or work hard, Asa and Cheryl were NOT happy, PEP Boys said, Oh, we are too busy to help you, Sorry. So in the face of another disaster, Asa B snatched victory (?) from the jaws of a dead battery and charger, he went across the street to the Firestone Repair shop, he likes them as he has always been treated well by them, and they said sure we can fix it, it will be about 20 minutes and we will fit you in to the next bay. They were sorry to see the goats sitting there.&nbs p; So let’s hope it goes well.
Hallelalua!!! It was raised from the dead!! Or, at least charged. Looks like it was the alternator, so the Firestone repair guys have a new one, are installing it and Asa and Cheryl should be back on the road in an hour or less. Wow, what a hectic time. This truck was a nice buy, but it has had a lot of little (?) expenses since we bought it. Oh well, used vehicles, what can you expect?
Now I know that I am not the only one out there with raccoons on the porch, or the neighbors dogs visiting several times a day, etc. Tell the family some of your little trials and tribulations. Karen, nothing happening? How is your car since Dad and your brother fixed it? Cathy, how are the wedding plans coming along, your wedding is different from the norms in our families, Asa and Sarah have been to Cancun, but not a place like your’s. , I am sure some of us are interested. Josh, how is the life of a professional trucker?&nbs p; Since your mother reads this sometimes, don’t be too explicit.
Love to all,
