Almost 9am, just about finished my second cup of coffee ☕☕, thinking I'll get ready for a walk about. Polly asking if I want a big breakfast 🍳. No I say, but another of those good bacon 🥓 tomato 🍅 sandwiches 🥪 like yesterday be nice after I get back be nice. OK is the response, man am I fortunate.
I have have been awake an hour now, Polly was up earlier today, she made coffee ☕, I poured the first cup, she the next. Coffee tasted great 👍.
Rambo our pickup is to be finished today, round two, hopefully be repaired correctly this time. If not, plan B to another shop. Travel repair can be a problem, this time the problem has been diagnosed from Ontario, Quebec, Virginia now Florida, many people have been asked to diagnose, and a few have tried to get the hard starting fixed.
Travel fixing is a problem that we have had a few times, with trailer and truck, the good thing is so far not stuck on the highway repairs! Knock on wood 🪵. I try to get problems resolved quickly, and where we're setting in one place awhile, I believe that to be the best for us. Only once did I have the trailer throw a wheel bearing, that kept us on the side of the road a few hours, that time I realized how calling for a tow truck is not always the best way.
After calling Good Sam which we had bought the insurance off of, I realized as the day went I would have to go to Clearwater to get parts and return myself before the parts stores closed. Calling ahead was the best decision, and a man on the other end he helped me with the parts and going next door talking with the mechanic that would also help. I'll never forget that feeling having to leave Polly and Bosco at the pullout, as I went to town about an hour away getting what I needed to git er done!
The parts man that went out of his way, the mechanic that stayed late, all were exceptional as far as I was concerned. Never forget how that felt.
Today waiting for our pickup, hopefull the problem is fixed I feel unsure, yet hopefull. Still, we have options, and if it wasn't for Ed next door, who's been bringing me back and forth to the shop, also getting us groceries, taking us to town, a long with Claudia, who's been a real peach with Polly, shopping with her a pleasure for Polly. Jane & Ed giving us a ride to the train this past Saturday, people have been very helpful.
Still I'm counting on having our Rambo back in action so we can travel again when the time comes. Having no pickup has been a pain, even if I don't have to go anywhere, just the knowledge that it available when I want it is comforting.
No moral to the story, just giter done soon, and giter done right 👍.
Well a walk now is in order, be lookin forward to the bacon tomato sandwich when I return 😋
I think a swim is also in order this afternoon 👍
Really do love this life ❤️
