The Cat's Away


Jessica went to Orlando with some of her girlfriends for Timeout For Women. She left her almost helpless husband alone with the three kids and his in-laws. This could turn out to be a fun two days except dad and grandpa are spending the whole time working on the house. As if that wasn't bad enough, the truck sprung a lead in a break line. I don't know how many of our faithful readers have tried driving with only the parking break and or maybe a tree to stop a good size vehicle...it is just a bit terrifying. It really gets the blood flowing. Then again, if James wasn't in the truck, I might have taken a little joy ride. Just kidding. Did you know that Auto-Zone doesn't sell the aforementioned break line? I have to take off the gas tank, then remove the line. I then have to take it to auto zone where we will measure out all all the appropriate parts to build a new one. Normally when the cat's away the mice will play. Not this time.
