Broken Down....Again

Packed like sardines
On Monday nite of the holiday weekend, we were on a boondoggle in Turlock on our way home from the cabin and the truck broke down.  We had noticed that there was a small leak in a hose and it was causing steam as the fluid leaked out.  But on our way home, the whole hose fitting broke and it was like a sauna!

We made the best of it while waiting for the tow truck - we had an In and Out picnic and Grace played the guitar.  Then we all loaded into Tina and Marty's rig (5 people and 3 dogs) and headed home.  We put all our gear in the towed Tahoe so we had enough room.

The truck is still in the shop but we should have it back tonite.  I really need a new rig but I HATE shopping for them  I much prefer breaking down and having to be towed....so that tells you how much I hate it.

We all keep needing the stuff that is in the truck - including:  my tennies, Marty's magazine, Tina's brie and Grace's boots.  The good news for Jim is the stuff needed to fix that boat trailer is in there so he is off the hook for awhile!
