My little truck is in amazing shape for being 35 years old, but today she fell ill. Some part in my clean little engine is failing and I can't keep her running. I found a mechanic here in town that wasn't swamped so I called an ambulance to bring her in.

I've had Farmers insurance for thirty years and I've only used it twice, both times for a tow. So this is free.

I was heading to the Fastpace Medical clinic this morning to talk about open sores and my arm. Maybe next week...

Update: I just got a call from Thomas, the guy that took over the little shop that replaced my rear end a few years back. Black guy, real nice, and he said the carburetor needed a rebuild, quoted me $225, said it would be ready tomorrow afternoon.

I've got me a new mechanic!
