Default Bad Luck or No Luck at all

06-07-08 No Lip, the heat cracked my wind shield. Wierd, but it did.

06-10-08, I was coming home from traffic court. My bird girgled, then the temp went from 0 to red hot in a flash. So I pulled over and waited a minute, then opened the hood. I was relieved when I saw
it was the radiator hose and not head gaskets. So Thank God for that. Mark had to come get her with the roll back. She is at the shop waiting for parts.

06-14-08 I took the kids over to Flemming Island to have lunch with Mark. When we were leaving, I got gas at the Chevron next door to the BK. We made it back to Fernandina and the van started choking.
$30 worth of BAD gas. Now the van is sitting in a friends yard until tomorrow. I guess Mark isn't going to get to relax on Father's Day after all.
Our oldest daughter still has Mark's truck, we are out of cars now.

Yeah he could.
I think that he said something about replacing all the hoses. Not to mention that I really shouldn't drive her with the wind shield being cracked the way it is. It goes all the way across the drivers
view. I don't need to get pulled over for that, the cops around here are really cracking down on everyone for everything.

Thanks Rodney, while I'm here at home goofing off online. Jenna & I are watching Oceans Eleven.
Mark is in Gainesville with Doc & Rick having fun.

I guess he stayed at Doc's house, he didn't come home.
So much for the kids making him breakfast and serving it in bed.

It was nice to meet you to. I'll try remember to send the
mustang poster with Mark next time he heads that way.

Hopefully they didn't get much of the rain we did in Gainesville.

We left the track about 9 and got to 441 and it opened up! Roads were flooded and power went out at a few places.

We left about 830 and were able to avoid any showers. Mark and Doc were still hard at it when we left. Some of the roads were wet, guess we got lucky on our way back to Jax.
