Half way to town....

my car started to over heat. Steam was coming out under the hood so I pulled over at a church parking lot where a sheriff's deputy was parked. He got out of his car to see what the problem was. As soon as I got out, I opened the hood and what a mess! So, I called Russ who is a mechanic and he didnt answer so I called Sarah to come take me to town to DHs shop. In the meantime, Russ called me back and came right over. The sheriff's deputy left then and I thanked him for his concern although he really didnt do much. The good news is that a coupling that connects the heater hose to the engine was broke so Sarah took me to town to get the part and Russ put it in. A $4.51 fix! Yea! What a way to start the day. lol


This morning I am going to the big town to look at a building of glassware that I found on  our local sales website. Hopefully, I'll get some good deals. I havent been doing much selling since the holidays and I really need some inventory. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Will let you know what I find.


Hugs, Jackie

Jackie I'm so glad you could get it fixed for so little money. Usually, when our car starts acting up, it means big bucks. Hope you found some good deals.--Pat

Jackie the same thing happened to me on the way home. But my gauge didn't tell me I was running hot. Good thing I am only 3 miles from work. But it was the same hose! Now my dh just trimmed mine and hooked it back up..lol. He saved that $1.
