July 30th and 31st good news bad news

Parked in the back out of the way how long?????

The new temp tow car

Pretty decent shape for a 1988 tires over 80% worth more then I paid for the truck

Roger and Susie's Travels Yesterday 30th (good news) I gave Stuart the day off /Launched the boat for a month of fishing and cruising in the marina /got the little tow car towed in to the garage for hydraulic clutch assessment for repairs (bad news) the tow car assessment is over $2000.00 not happening towed back home on the 31st for me to deal with at a latter date. July 31st (good news) I went and did nine holes of golf to take my mind off the dilemma (good news) on the way home I came across a temp vehicle to take the place of our little tow car till I can fix it myself not as pretty and a few running gear noises but nothing I can't deal with. The price was right $400 cash 1988 Blazer S10 4x4 with tires worth more then the truck (good news) Stuart got picked up by Tracy,s friend Leah for a few days of fun with her family and friends They will be doing a lot of trail bike riding etc will be cool for Stuart
