Bad Timing, Belt

At first I thought "I could fix this. It sounds easy".


I still have trouble changing the oil. And the last thing we need this week is another disaster.

Laura broke down Monday night. I had to borrow a neighbors car to go get her off 80. We picked up a rental yesterday morning with a modicum of misfortune. At last minute they got in a truck and not the 15 passenger cargo van we were gonna have to rent. But the astronomical cost of fixing the timing belt, alternator & radiator on our beloved Camry has thrown a wrench [no pun intended] in our plans to buy that new truck. But it is to be expected. We could ditch the Toyota and just get the truck, but then once again we're down to two vehicles, which is the problem we've been trying to fix all summer.

Just another day really.

PS: we have an owl
