Yesterday?
Yesterday was interesting to say the least and a bit adventurous. It started off fairly normally as in the morning I had booked an MOT for my off roader. I got to the MOT station and the Land Rover sailed through without a problem so I went straight to work from there. Spent the rest of the morning and some of the afternoon at work. Two 'o' clock rolled round so headed home. As I made my way home I noticed that the engine revs were increasing and I was not going any faster. Strange I thought but carried on as sometimes this happened because the clutch slipped when it wanted. I made it about half way home when the clutch gave out altogether and I rolled to a stop on the side of the dual carriageway.(For all those that may ask why did I not "crash box" it home the friction plate had given out, which means no drive from the engine to the gearbox, anybody wanting this explained ask me when you see me) So no problem phoned home and got someone to bring my Discovery so I could be towed home. As I am sat there waiting and see the person who is going to tow me home go down the other side of the dual carriageway the police roll up, luckly I had already got the bar out to join the vehicles together so the officer can see I am going to do it all properly and he asked what was wrong, so I explained and he says okay and leaves. When the Discovery gets round to me I hook the two vehicles up and we head home.
Just goes to prove it can happen to all of us so all those that have had car trouble it shows even the mechanics have problems.
In the afternoon I decide to take it easy so sit about and do nothing thinking that I will have to take the gearbox off of the off roader. Later I eat and then about 6:30 lay down and the next thing I know its 00:40 in the morning. I crawl into bed and fall back to sleep until 8:00 this morning. The thing is I actually remember dreaming (unusual as it has been several years since the last time I remember having actually dreamt about anything) but I can't remember exact details but I just know I did.
So all in all it was a very interesting Saturday by my usual standards.
