Today was a bit of a struggle for me. I didn’t get very much sleep last night due to the rain.

 

YouTube link: Trotting Through the Mud

After trotting around in the mud all day to take a shower, use the restroom, and cook breakfast, I finally managed to get myself together to go make a pricing run at Home Depot. About halfway there, I realized I had forgotten my wallet and turned around to come back. After walking through the mud again I got my wallet, hopped back in the van and got back on the bypass. About 3 minutes into the trip the van started acting up. The engine sounded as if it did not want to get out of the first gear and the RPMs were at4 to 5000. After reaching the parking lot of Home Depot I went around and did all of my pricing as well as picked up a wheelbarrow, while I let the engine cool off. Now I was able to check the fluids and the transmission fluid seemed fine but the oil was low. The coolant had leaked out again, so I bought some, and refilled her for the 5th time since getting the vehicle. I had previously spoken to Martin about this issue and he assured me that I would be reimbursed for the coolant later as his mechanic was not available at the moment to fix the problem. It seemed to run a little better adding some more fluids so I stopped off at the grocery store and then at Pizza Hut. This way I can have dinner tonight and then cold pizza for breakfast in the morning. Ah, the little things…
