I know what youโre thinking and you would be correct! We spent the morning visiting in North Bend with our son, daughter in law and granddaughter. We packed up the car after saying our goodbyes and headed to Starbucks for a coffee for the road. Mt. Si with mistโฆ.
Six miles out; traffic backed up as the DOT fed it from 4 lanes to two. I heard a noise and even commented on what was wrong with the truck next to us. However as we creeped on down the road, it became apparent it wasnโt someoneโs truck but my faithful Zuki!!๐ It sounded like a flat tire, so I pulled between the orange barrels for @silvertop to check it out. Nope-no flat. Hmmmmโฆ.๐ง
I popped the hood and he was able to locate the source of the noise. A V belt running the alternator, the power steering and the water pump was shredding apart! So I looked for the AAA card and made a phone call. Due to other calls and traffic, it took the tow truck driver 2.5 hours to reach us. He loaded the car and I proceeded to literally climb up into the cab. It was a long way up! Due to space, I sat jacked between him and @silvertop. He returned us to our sonโs place just 6 miles up the road. Bill had already gotten the belt and as I am typing this around 6:30, theyโve put the car back together!
Iโm so thankful it happened only 6 miles from their place and not halfway home! AAA was terrific, the tow truck driver was as well, and of course, our son who has inherited his dadโs mechanical aptitude!
So, Iโve had more grandmaโ time with our granddaughter and weโre spending another night with them.
Hereโs a picture of Phoenix and Banjo respectively.
Despite the car breaking down, itโs been a good day.
Take care and enjoy the rest of your day wherever you are! ๐๐๐

NKJV Jeremiah 29:11-14
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.
