Man down

Friday, hear the squeel of the brakes on the Bangburban. Do the responsible adult thing and put it right in the shop for the fix. $245 dollars later at the CAPiTA Horrorscopes game 5, then Stabbin Cabin bound. 10:15P.M. the Burban decides to shut down on a corner of one of America's deadliest highways. Wife, kids and mutt in the car, it takes 2+ hours for Mr. Statey to show up. Bamma Sam shows up a half hour after that for a $108 tow back to the city, but threw out free red neck jokes the entire trip back. Bonus. In the Subaginni and off to the $100 hotel room the family was holed up in, and by 3A.M. I'm sleeping.
That cancelled being on first chair for the opening of the backside but it was still incredi when we got up there.
Full boar winter in effect Sunday. Neck gators, hoods, layers, etc. And a huge ass tree in falling in the middle of a run. Apparently Blue was there watching it almost land on him.
Any bets on how much this band aids gonna be for the Burb? I'm guessing Fridays total plus a $100 buffer. Time for a new rig.

  1. Super sick opening weekend for Stevens! Amazing that no one got squished by that tree, we went through there about 10 minutes before it fell.

    That burban is a ticking time bomb.

    Time to trade it in on that Forrester.

    Scrap that GMC and get a real Suburban next time. It's about time you had an excuse to upgrade.

    Rock on, Johan. Congrats on the shredding. Bummer on the 'burban. Keep that thing alive!

    I'm rollin' 220,000 and change on my Taurus wagon right now. Most definitely with my fingers crossed!
