Nebraska Sucks!!

[LuckyLady]

Nothing like being stuck and broken down all day in friggen Ogallala Nebraska. Yippee fun!

Air Conditioner pump locked up and spun the serpentine belt.

Out in gods country people don't work on Sundays and it doesn't matter how much money you try and throw at them, its Sunday

We were lucky enough to get a shorter belt and bypass the ac pump but we must of wiped the water pump and it over heats immediately.

I can believe how much the local TA mechanics make here, 7.50 per hour.

that sucks - i got stuck in west virginia a couple years ago and let me tell you it might have well been sunday - they work at their "own" pace. I sat there for hours while they tried to figure out what was wrong with my friends truck......sittin in a mobile in revell(?) was the theme song for that day!

hope you get all fixed up and out of there asap! -

You're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy

There is a reason that the mechanics here make 7.50 per hour here

We were able to get the AC pump bypass yesterday at the local TA truck stop after asking the people there multiple times and finally the manager was willing to help

So we got it bypass and decided lets sleep because its 115 out and leave a little later when its cooler because we have no AC

Well after packing all of our stuff and getting in the truck to make it a 1/4 before overheating it was time to turn back to the shop and see whats wrong.

Being that the truck only got in to the red for seconds the day before we thought that it wasnt likely that the water pump went bad. The mechinic looked at it last night and said it was a water pump. We took the truck to the local dealer and looked at us like we had 10 heads and didnt want to help.

We have the truck at a local private shop now and the idiots from yesterday forgot to inc the water pump in its bypass of the AC

Soooo hopefully we will be on the road here shortly!

As for the corn there is lots of corn, acres and acres.

The cows are plentyful and I want a baby cow to take home with me. Only if they would stay that big

This is only a piece of the pie! Someday I am going to write a book of everything that has happened to me in the past 10-12 years and it will be good thats for sure. Might have to put it in 2 books based on the rate that its flowing!

I still cant figure out who I pissed off in life to be dealt this stupid hand. Its life and there is no other way to deal with it other than dealing with it.

We are actually getting a few good laughs in over the past 24 hrs, walking thru the drive thru window at wendys and many other stupid things. We are ready to play hide and seek in the corn fields until I heard of the corn snakes that got a quick nevermind out of me.
