Sorry your day turned to one big steaming doggy-pile!Originally Posted by GoingPostal
If it's not one thing, it's another! So today was supposed to be Roger's appt. Nothing has changed with him, he's eaten a third mouse, just that one small tear on his side still. I had to work the morning then headed out of town with him.
Made it about an hour away and my truck started feeling weird going down a hill so I pulled over, thankfully was headed into another small town then. Get out to look and I'm pouring out red fluid and smoking under the hood.
Apparently finding a tow in rural MN is basically impossible so after a lot of calls and waiting around we ended up renting a car hauler from the next town over and buying a hitch so my stepdad could haul my poor Jeep home. I knew today might be long and expensive but this wasn't how I planned. Now I have to get my truck fixed and make an new appt likely for next week now.Hang in there- when that happens to me, I like to remind myself that while I didn't deserve this, it could have been worse, & in your case, the vehicle failure didn't cause an accident or a fire.
I hope your truck leak isn't too expensive to fix, but having to give it a ride (haul) home was pretty rude. At least your vet visit was not urgent. I can relate- I used to drive a van that crapped out more than once & needed a ride home (to the mechanic).
