Annoying Things

May 9th, 2006

Today Gayla drove the Van to Spanish Fork. On the way back, she heard grinding noises, saw flashing check engine lights, maintenance required lights, and even a flashing drive light. The van wouldn’t go very good any more. When she pushed on the gas, it just revved the engine. Well, somehow she managed to still go forward back to American Fork. We took it in to the dealer today. Luckily for us, the transmission is still under warranty. We get to have a rental car for a few days (they pay for that too) but it is still annoying to have to fix cars. (I’m not complaining one bit that we don’t have to pay for it though.)

I bought a wheel barrow at Home Depot today. We got rocks scraped off our yard but there is a few where the bobcat couldn’t get. I thought I’d shovel a bit and haul some dirt around. My first load of dirt/rocks, the handle on the wheel barrow broke. That made my new load of dirt/rocks spill too. I went back to Home Depot and they gave me a new handle. Another annoyance but at least I didn’t have to buy a new one.
