Well, our trip home from Home Alone 19 yesterday was a bit more adventurous than planned. Heater core breakdown in "Big Red" led to a tow from Deep River, but 5 minutes into the tow, the real big truck blew an engine oil line , and we had to get a tow for the tow that was towing. Then the tow chain holding "Big Red" on the truck had to be hacksawed off, and then it was transfer from tow 1 to tow 2. Sort of like the "extended" 3 hour tour by the SS Minnow on Gilligan's Island, 'cept we did get to go home. Sheesh.Monday, August 24, 2009

Heater core breakdown is a 5 minute fix....did you drive it home?
It's a 5 minute fix if you know what you're doing, have the right tools, and it's not night time. We drove it to Deep River and then got towed.
Is Mike still biking up tomorrow to pick it up? You might not be getting that case of beer after all.....
It's a 5 minute fix for Red Green. Our friend Red Greenfield has the alternate fix - CAA, which has never hesitated to employ.
Talk about Murphy's Law!
