The woos of being a Grown up.

Morning, Ya'll better be getting things wound up for Christmas, it is almost here. We were getting all packed up and ready to head to Bakersfield last night and the water pump on our pickup went out. We had taken a break and went a about a mile down the road to dinner and when we came back, Kablooey. We had started loading the pickup and Steve noticed pretty green stuff leaking out from under the pickup. So, we both looked at each other once her figured out what is was, and said Merry Christmas. Jeez. Isn't life and crap that happens grand? Oh Well, I am just glad it happened before we headed to Bakersfield and not during the trip. There is a large mountain pass that we have to go over to get out of L.A. and into Bakersfield and we see people brokendown thru there all the time. So, we are blessed that it happened before we left, as to not leave us stranded roadside. Steve is going to take it to Pep Boys today, we don't have a mechanic in L.A. as of yet. Hopefully it won't take too long and it will cost withing reason. Anyway, that is where we are. As soon as the truck is fixed, we are heading out. Gotta love the drama of hoilday travel. T
