Another event, another problem with the van...

[herveus]

We went to Hrim Schola. Business was decent, and the company was wonderful, both at the event and visiting with my brother and his family.

Unfortunately, Sunday morning, the van died on the way to the brunch and library dive. It took a while to sort out where we wanted to get the car towed, and what else to do. In the end, I rented a car so Mandy and I could get home and not have to blow off a day of work. MJ stayed in a hotel across the street from the shop in Poughkeepsie where we had the van towed.

Thora and Dof recommended them as the shop the rely on.

I can see why.

Once the shop was able to look at the car, they were able to discover that the fuel line had simply come off at the fuel pump and were able to reattach it. No tools needed; just clip it back on. They threw a few coulumbs back in the battery (run down by the blinkers) and sent her on her way without requiring any payment.

I could not quite reach that part by reaching under the car. :(

STS Tire House in Poughkeepsie should be held in good esteem.

Wow! The van just keeps running into one thing after another. Good thing that this gas station is staffed by such able & good-hearted people.
