Yesterday, the first day of my vacation, started out good. Finished building the trolling board & got it stained. Got all the line replaced on the reels. Even mowed the grass before supper. I just got done lighting the grill for supper when my wife called & told me her car wouldn't start. Went to pick her up & try to get it going but nothing was happening. Had to call a tow truck & found out later it was a bad starter. since they had to take half the motor apart to get at it I dec ided to let the shop fix it.
Then on the way home my Jeep started acting up. Wouldn't idle & smelled realy bad. I messed with it for awhile last night but couldn't figure it out. Got up this morning & started it up and there was fule dripping out of the fuel pump. Unfortunately, since it's so old there wasn't anyplace that has one in stock. Finally found someone that could get me one tomorrow morning & ordered it. Now tomorrow I'm supposed to take my nephews out fishing on Elkhart Lake (provided I get the Jeep going) but I'm not sure it's a good idea to put the boat in the water since the third bad thing hasn't happened yet!
