Stranded: Day 2
So it's Sunday. And I guess that no one likes to work on cars on a Sunday. I got a hold of one guy this morning who would have charged me 90 dollars per hour to fix my car (because it was off hours). And so I said to myself "Self? Why don't you save the money you would spend on that guy plus towing costs and just get your hotel room one more night and take care of this on Monday?" So that's what I'm doing.
I took a walk (about a mile) to Walmart today to get some suntan lotion. And it's a bit hot...but I'll spend the rest of my day in the hotel. This morning a nice guy came by and helped me narrow down my problem. His wife works at the gas station where I broke down and she gave me his number to have him take a look in the morning. The problem was a little more than he could fix quickly and easily...so here I sit waiting for the auto shops to open. There are two within a couple of blocks from here so I even have choices (even if I decide to push my car over to one of them in the morning instead of getting it towed.)
Well, I'm off for some mind numbing TV. Wish me luck.
