What a crazy trip to Florida. I drove down after church Sunday and had an unexpected layover in Lafayette (Laughy-et). I thought the transmission went out as the same thing the symptoms were the same as what happened in the Spring when the tranny went out.
I arrived last night after nine hours on the road. I was able to drive pretty fast for the last 4-5 hours as traffic was substantially less than the earlier hours. I was in a rented Ford Escape. That little bugger would flat move on down the road. It also had some sweet speakers, so I played the music much louder than I do when I have the whole family in the car.
I spent a good bit of time on my cell phone. I taked to a college buddy for over an hour. It was a nice break in the trip and came at a time when I was getting tired. I drove 600 miles and only stopped twice. Something that would never happen if all the kids were in the.
My dad has a friend, Mark, that hauls cars around the Southern part of the country. He was a huge help as he picked up my van and even did a little diagnostic work as well. He told me that my transmission is fine, but something related to my brakes broke which caused the caliper to become jacked up. I don't understand it all, but do understand that it is a much smaller deal than a transmission problem.
Heather and I took the rental back this morning and stopped to grab some lunch. It was just the two of us, her mom watched the kids. I love Heather more than she knows and have missed as we have been apart for a week. We ate at Moe's Soutwest Grill. It is basically a Chipotle only Moe's gives you free chips. I like free! I used to eat at Moe's every Monday with Sprang and my buddy Scott when I lived in NC.
I was astonished when I got out of the car last night at the brightness of the stars. It was amazing. I could see thousands of stars that I will never see in Dallas. It is relaxing out here at her folks. They live 25 minutes from "town". It would be perfect if they had high speed internet. Ha. I hope to sneak off to a Starbucks and return some emails at least once while I am here.
