    If it was not for bad luck, you would not have any luck. You better start paying the preacher a little bit more. But I must say, you are "one laid back individual" . I would have come "unglued" long time ago.

    11 hrs and still’s on the side of the road….I think the petro been lying to me all day when I talk to them. Was supposed to be on the way two hrs ago last I talked to them. With the tropical storm pouring rain Im thinking they don’t want to come out. My DM is peeved, me too but I find that screaming and hollering does no good for my health or gets things done faster.

    Oh, yeah, one thing I am definitely familiar with, lol! They finally showed up and changed the filter but voltage was too low to start sitting all day for going on 13.5 hrs now. Said he was going back to get battery pack and stuff but that was hour ago.

    I knew it, tech wasn’t coming back. Breakdown sending a wrecker to tow me to a safer location to jump start me. Too close to roadway. 90 to 120 minutes….
