The Old Man was feeling good today, so this morning we set out to visit our Triple Crown stores in the East End -- Jeff's Donuts, Paul's Fruit Market, and Kingsley's Meats. We made it to all three but while I was in at the donut shop, the van shut down. After about 5 attempts to start it, it finally fired up. We both prayed for a trip home, and headed out. But after abou two miles it shut down again. But luckily after again 5 attempts it started back up. We were debating whether to call AAA and someone to come get us home, but we both decided to head on. Thank the Lord we made it back home to The Compound.
As soon as I got the Old Man back into the house, I went back up to the dealer that did the work on the van two weeks ago. I waited awhile and they said someone "adjusted" something, and it was just fine. The first they could give it a thorough inspection is Tuesday. I stopped at Krogers on the way home for a few provisions and made it home just fine.
So this hasn't been a real good week for me here. But it could be a whole lot worse. I have so many dear friends going through much, much worse things than a car that quits.
