The Blight Of The American Highways....

The American tourist. Good honk, there are oodles of people out and about! ...and they all think they are soooo important, don't we know who they are?? Such maroons!!

I'm still on vacay but just HAD to post this. My truck is in the shop, the mechanic found a broken valve spring and so it's the ICU for her. We knew she hadn't been feeling right and now we know what the prob was/is. My baby will gets all better now!!

Stay safe, everyone!

A Mechanic After My Own Heart

He loffs his horses!

Instead of pics of semi-nude (or nude) girls, he has pics of his horses on his tool box.

I'm tellin' ya, this guy is one swell guy!

ARRRGGGHHH!

We have some probs with my beloved big rig (truly, I love my twuck) and called our mechanic to ask what time he could fix them.

He said 8:00 this morn. Okie dokie, we got here....and sat and sat and sat...until hubby asked the GM where our (formerly) beloved mechanic was.

Get this, the mech had a frickin' appointmet this morning!! Did the idjit mention this yesterday?? Noooooo, he did not!

So, here we sit, waiting, cooling our heels. Gah! Think I'll run over roadkill right before I bring my baby in the next time, just so's he gets a lungfull!! Hah!

Erm, These Repair Guys Seem A Little....Umm...Dense....

OMG.  This is gonna be painful, I can just tell. 

We found the truck repair place and I had to park on the street, IN the street, in front of a hotel that has signs plastered all over "NO PARKING".  Oh, boy, let the games begin!!

It took the mechanic quite a while to hoist his fat bum out here.  The hood was opened and, get this now, I pointed out the hose, the mechanic reached over and SQUIRTED himself when he squeezed the hose!!  Honest to God!!  I mean, we told them "there is a leak in the hose".  Duh??  Hello??  Anyone home?? 

Then the other guy says that they have a hose.  The mechanic walks back to the shop to clean off, comes back and asks "where's the hose".  The second guy looks at him and says "we have the hose, gotta bring it here".  Oh, the mechanic didn't get that part.

I mean, we're trusting our multi-multi thousand dollar rig to them???? 

I'm hoping they can at least jerry-rig it and we can get on to the big city, to the KW dealer and get it done RIGHT. 

Yep, I can tell what kind of day THIS is gonna be....dammit....
