Hello from B.C.

Hello everyone. Just updating you on my status. Last night at about 9pm I was 200kms from Vancouver. I had just reached a rest stop where I knew I could park for the night so I did. I had been on the road since 6am and I knew it would be too late to stop and see my friend Jodi and also too late to catch a ferry to the island. So I parked my car and had a few naps. I don't sleep well in the car but I have 2 hour naps where I wake up with a cramp and need to stretch out and switch posistions.

Last night a couple hours before I stopped for the night I was making a huge climb in the car and it was was grunting along. I was keeping an eye on the heat gage because it was running very hot. I looked down at the speedometer and it said I was doing 60km but there was no way I was going that fast. All of a sudden the motor stopped. I got it over to the shoulder and put it in park. I tried to start it again but no go. I got out oppened the hood and looked everything over. The oil was good, the water level in the over flow was good nothing was obvious. I sat with my head in my hands wondering what I was going to do. I had my cell phone out and had a signal. My wallet was on the dash with my BCAA card in it. It had been over a half an hour so I decided to give it another try and it started. I had a listen for a couple minutes and then shut it off. I decided to go for a short walk and and 15 minutes later I decided to give it another try. The car started and off I went. I stayed close to the shoulder in case I needed it and after I made the long climb I did it. I told my car I loved it. I even told it I would buy it an upper tie rod when I got to the island. The car ran great today.

Well I'm staying at Jodi's tonight and will go to the island tomorrow. Will update when I can
