TRUCK BREAKS DOWN

TUESDAY
SEPTEMBER 25 2018

Stayed overnight at the Scipio Inn. Very nice sleep. Comfortable bed.

Got up at 6AM, had breakfast. Pretty good considering such a small hotel with not a lot of overnight guests.

Walked the dogs before and after breakfast. Pretty chilly this morning.

Met a nice couple at breakfast. They were heading to Seattle.

We got fuel across the interstate at the Truck Stop. Then headed out.

Got 15 miles outside of Beaver, Utah on Milemarker 147. Then the truck just died.

We had to call AAA for help. The woman was NOT helpful. Would not talk with me. Had to talk with Hubby, policyholder.

She gave the wrong address to the Tow company. They had to come out of Beaver.

I walked the dogs beside the road and watched the black cows in the field.

Hubby tried to fix the truck, called Casey. No help.

Finally, a nice guy named Jeff came and hooked us up. Flat towed us slowly to Beaver. Dogs rode in the black truck, we rode in the cab with him.

At Beaver, another guy named Rick took over the tow. He put the black truck on the deck of the tow truck and put the trailer on a stringer behind the truck. He said that the other truck was not rated to pull that much weight behind it.

So we drove all the way to Cedar City where we unloaded the car & put dogs in the car. I pottied the dogs on the side of the road while the guys unloaded the vehicle. I drove the car from Cedar City to Mesquite. Seemed to take forever. Road construction thru the area. Then 55 all the way thru the hills.

At home, unloaded dogs. Pottied the dogs. The cat kept yelling at me. He was mad we were gone so long.

Hubby called and needed keys for the shop. I had to drive down there to get him. Said goodbye to Rick again. Nice guy.

We stopped at Jack-In-The-Box to get Teriyaki bowls & sandwiches. Drove home.

Ate our food, but a neighbor stopped by. He had to chat for a while and invite us to a Cookout in the Park tomorrow. I think that Dave, hubby's landlord had texted this guy (part of the LDS church?) so he came over to invite us. Nice guy lives near the dog park with the white german shepherd.

He was here for over an hour.

Then we walked the dogs again and were hoping to leave to wash the car and get milk at Walmart. However, Dave, hubby's landlord drove up and had to talk another hour. Hubby invited him inside. He would NOT leave. We were SO tired.

He finally left at 8PM. We stopped to chat with Dee & John who told us that the builders ran into our roof with their equipment.

We finally drove to Walmart. The Deli was closed so we could not get lunch meats & swiss cheese. Forgot to get egg mixture for me.

SO tired.

Washed car. Drove back home.

Had dinner.

Hubby looked at trucks online to buy. I went to bed. Could not sleep. Bed is horribly uncomfortable.

Hubby took dogs for a walk and then finally came to bed at 11PM.
