Cokehead is broke down in Broadview Heights.

It's not an NYS thing, it's an age thing----no memories period!

Right on LOL!!

Dude, are you home yet???

Ahhhhhh...the LUV truck and I made it home about 8AM. I might be whipped but the LUV truck is still good to go. I like PA roads but 287 in NY sucks. Fred would you get on that please!

Consider it done ch. Glad you're home my friend. We'll see who of them thar Conn. people show up with that beer????

The people at B&W Auto electric pulled my bacon out of the fire. They couldn't have been nicer or more professional. When I pulled in their yard didn't have enough juice to make my blinkers work. I'm amazed the fuel selinoid didn't shut the engine down on me. Anyway they gave Cleveland, Ohio a good name in my book.

Don't be gettin my hopes up!

Coke, glad to see you made it, as discussed with you when the wipers gave out in minn, why did'nt you have it shipped ?

There is a cost benefits analysis called SAFETY.

The wiper switch gave out in Montana. Misdiagnosed as a bad wiper motor. I didn't price shipping. I never gave it a serious thought not only because I presumed it to be expensive AND I Wanted to drive across the country. Sometimes that safety thing interferes with living. You don't grow living in a bubble. I wish I had more time but I got a taste of what is out there.

When I started this thread I didn't in my wildest dreams think I was going to be able to resolve the problem quickly. I was very lucky to find the people I did.

Funny what turns up when you look up them thar lil streets or on old farms--usually turns out to be some pretty rightous people.

Truer words have never been spoken.

I feel like a complete and utter turd. I've had 0 computer/leisure time up until now. I've been away from the Board and everything else. To hell with the excuses,I wasn't here to help a Coal Brother in true need,and I apologize. Completely. I really showed you rotten hospitality from Ohio. That won't happen again,for any of you. I just found this while catching up on a long overdue visit to this place. I feel like I just served Smitty a warm drink......I apologize Cokehead,and by the way,the'Ol Boy you found to do the alternator rebuild was part of a dwindling resource that we used to be known for. I am grateful they treated you well and will call them to thank them.

I forgive you. Heck, I'll even forgive the service plaza employees that called the Ohio State Police. The policeman who paid me a visit was a good guy. I had to prove to him I wasn't a vagrant, had a plan to be on my way and could cope with the weather conditions. He even said if I need help to call the Ohio State police. I think he meant by help if I was freezing or starving they would intervene but it was left unspecified. I guess sleeping in the back of a 1982 pickup in the winter at my age is not normal behavior. Not only was I being thrifty I could sleep when I needed to and move on whenever I wanted. Made sense to me. I could (can) deal with the cold, it is certain people that where my problem.

I haven't been very active on the forum lately myself. After 9 months of being unemployed I put my nose to the grindstone, with the exception to my whirlwind trip to Washington State for my LUV . Next time I breakdown in Ohio, I'll give you a call. Please PM me you phone and I will keep it in my cell, just in case.
