Car problems
Friday I started off for work. The fan belt in my car made it's usuale bad squeaking noise as I left the driveway. I turned onto the hiway, the noise stopped, but then what I heard was the sound of it breaking. I was able to get my car of the hi-way. Luckly I was only 30 feet down the hi-way from the road we lived on. Now this was at 6:00 a.m. and still dark. I walked back to the road, and our driveway. Our driveway is long, about 1/4 of a mile to our home.
Larry was up, all he had to do was get dressed so he could take me to work. Somehow we managed to get me to work before I was late. Were I work there is no excuse for being late. You can be late for work 14 times then you are fired, in one years time. I have been late once this year, twice in the last 10 years.
Larry got my car home ok and the new belts bought. One broke, the other one was in bad shape so he decided to replace both.
Saturday, I took his pickup to work, as the car was not yet fixed. I locked the pickup, then when I was going home the key would not open the door. I called Larry but he did not hear the phone so I called a friend and she came to get me and take me home. Sometime during the night I realized I was trying to get into the pickup with the wrong key. I keep the spair key to my car in my purse and had grabed it instead of the key for the pickup.
Sunday we were able to get the pickup home, and Larry got both the belts on my car. I did a test drive and everything worked.
Monday, I had to go to the doctor, I got 5 miles down the road and my car died. This time I had remebered to take my cell phone with me. Called Larry, he came and took me to the doctor. We then tried to start my car, it did start and I was able to drive it home but just made it home before it died again.
This time it was the battery cables. He was able to fix it before the end of the day. Seems to be running fine now.
Cost for fixing the car was under $100. as Larry does all the work himself.
Our trip to Mexico is comming togather. We will be spending the first month in Chacala. We were able to find a place with the help of Andee (she lives in Chacala) at a good rate, $360 for the month of Dec. Dec. is a peak time for vistors in Chacala. We feel very lucky to get a place to stay.
