When it rains it pours, and it started for me last Thursday. I was unable to fish last Sunday because my truck broke down last Thursday night. I eanded up having to walk to my night class thank god I did not have to walk far.

But we had the truck towed back to my high school and they are still owrking on it at this point should be ready today (Fingers Crossed). That same night the Truck broke down I find out my father is in the Hospital, he is fine but had an elivated Blood Sugar of 500. He is not diabetic so it does not make sense but he is home now and doing fine. That is a whole story in itself so i will leave that for another time.

So now we are down to one car with 5 people all needing to be in different school at different times. No big deal we got it figured out. So all is looking good at this point until. I have to pick up my son from high school and when leaving I hear this god afull noise I pull over to find what looks like a broken rear axal on our newest car. (Four letter word after four letter word) ok I am back now, there is a good ending to it all just wait.

So I get down to see where is the break turns out to be a missing bolt that must have broken into pieces because we cannot find the bolt in the short drive we have. So we are now looking at a $300 to $400 repair for a missing bolt with tow and inspection and so on. (Four letter word four letter word) I am back.

Now for the good part my friend shows up, he has raced cars for years and worked in a pit crew as well. I meet him down there and he already has it jacked up. From him "hey there is a bolt missing" I know simple he runs across the street and the shop guy there gives us a bolt and some tools. 20 minutes later we are running again. This is great me and my wife are laughing so hard because we have had some many car problems at this time it is just green happy comical.

Well I told you it ended up ok, my turck should be done today and we are back at full force. I just needed to vent a little thanks for reading I feel a little better now Cool

That sucks but atleast it didn't turn out to be a major repair. So what is wrong with your Ranger?
