when it rains... it pours

so i’ve had an unbelievable week thus far. first… on tuesday night my wife’s car breaks down in weatherford - an hour away from 602. call to get some repair estimates and it looks like $600 is the cheapest i could find. have it towed home on wednesday night.. surprisingly only $80. the car is sitting in the driveway in euless..

thursday i packed up and began my journey to chicago via ft. smith, ar. 30 miles down the road i notice a sudden loss of power and a HUGE black cloud of black smoke behind the tdi - DAMN.

pull over and immediately call a tow truck - better to be safe than sorry. i’ve had this happen once or twice before so i’m accustomed to this sort of thing. same drill.. load it up on the truck and it’s off to 602. pull in the driveway and the light bulb comes on.. let’s kill two birds with one stone. let’s just unload my car and then load up the trooper to head to the repair shop. after a few short minutes the truck is gone and my wallet is much lighter.
