Hahahahahaha!!!
; )
Yesterday... was a bit, crazy.
; )
Pal, Bill... texted day before yesterday, afternoon.
; )
Bill was in Panic Mode!!
He's moving from one facility to another, has to be out by Friday.
When he walked to his van, there was a puddle of brake fluid next to the rear tire.
Bill said he'd been 'hearing a noise', but wasn't sure what it was.
; )
Told him... to fill the brake fluid reservoir, and cripple it out here for The Justin's to work on.
Bill... couldn't find the 'reservoir'... so, he sent me a picture of the engine.
; )
'There... It Is!!'
: )
Bill, said... "Maybe... I should have it towed?"
Told him if he wanted to spend a 100. bucks, do that.
He said... "What if I don't have any brakes??"
: )
Told him... as long as he didn't use the brakes, any more than he had to... he'd be fine.
{it's only about 5 miles.}
Asked Bill if his emergency brake worked.
"Yes."
well...
There Ya Go, use it... gently... if you Have To.
; )
Told Bill... when I was 16 drove an old Chevy back and forth to work for a week, with Zero Brakes, using the Emergency Brake, until I got paid.
; )
{That car... didn't have a heater/defroster, either.
{January, in Iowa... is COLD!!}
Used rubbing alcohol... to keep the windshield clear enough to see.}
Ya Do What Ya... Gotta Do!!
; )
Bill made it here, Fine.
: )
Justin pulled the van in, early yesterday morning.
; )
He called me at 7:30, after he pulled the Brake Rotor.
Hahahahahahahaha!!!
"Mom... I have NEVER Seen a Brake... That Bad in My Life!!!"
{Trust me... That's Sayin' a LOT!!!}
Hahahahahaha!!!
Bill... Bill... Bill.
; )
Bill... is a Computer Whiz.
Incredibly... Intelligent.
; )
when it comes to
'Vehicles'....
oh... dear.
; )
{I'll have to remember that... when Bill Laughs at me,
when I Struggle to 'Copy and Paste'!!!}
Hahahahahaha!!!!
Guess, I was 'Blessed' by driving Beloved 'Junk', most of my 'young' life.
<3 <3 <3
Ya Learn a Lot....
; )
Through Necessity.
; )
Used to drive an old Chevy 1/2 ton, truck...
The Rings were Shot.
Carried oil in the cab... in 2 gallon jugs.
Knew when the Old Boy... was getting low on oil, by the
'Ticking' of the lifters.
; )
When they started 'tickin'... I'd bail out, pop the hood....
dump some oil down him...
and, Away We'd Go!!
; )
That Old Chevy... was Quite a Truck!!
; )
Loved All of those Old... Vehicles.
I... Never thought of them as 'Junk'.
They... were Faithful, Old...
Souls.
<3
Was Proud of Every One of Them.
yes...
; )
Even The Chevy's.
: )
Can't Tell Ya... How Many Times, when they'd crank slow... to start,
my heart... in my throat,
I'd... pat their dashes... and, say...
"Come On Baby.... Come On!!
<3 <3 <3
You Can Do This!!"
: ) : ) : )
<3
Say it often, and... Truly Mean It,
Grateful... for My Dad.
I Learned So Much, from Dad.
<3
He... prepared me for 'Life'.
<3 <3 <3
Priceless.
<3
Nephew... Billy, sent me the above text, this morning.
<3
Love That Kid!!!
<3
{I Like to Brag on Billy.
; )
Dad would be So Proud, like me.. of Billy.
<3
He's a Lawyer... in DC.
: ) : ) : )
I'm a year older than Billy.
; )
but,
I'll Always.... be his 'Old Auntie'!!!
<3
We Both... understand, 'It's not the years...
It's The Miles!!!'}
: )
Hahahahahahaha!!!
Grateful... for Every Single
'Mile'.
; )
<3
Helping Bill... move, this afternoon, with The Ford....
after I meet with the 'Tax' Dude.
We'll get Bill 'Moved'.

He's Thrilled... to have Brakes... again.
