    Needless to say, I'm spending the night in a motel after losing the A/C.

    Parts won't be here til 2pm tommorrow :(

    So now I get to spend 48 hrs...been here 24 already. In a small town in southern Alabama called Brewton. Where the white lines directing traffic where to stop, are located at the very corner of every street, including the state highways that pass through town. Actually, one street has them painted further back...but that's because a RR track is located at the intersection.

    The once simple act of making even a left hand turn, has turned into a pi$$in contest with the locals who feel they DO NOT need to back up when they spot the MIDDLE marker light 6 inches from their hood, with the tandems about to jump the left curb (can you say skinny road), and your steer tire over the far curb, even though you used ALL available space (and then some if you include the yards) to make the left turn to begin with.

    So my question is: What's the fine for hitting someone "just once" with a tire knocker? Is it the same for hitting them 10 times? I just want to be sure I get my moneys worth. :biggrin_2559:

    A bar would sound good by then and I don't drink. Hope you get your parts sooner than expected!

    A Mississippi boy talking crap about people in Alabama. Now that is funny, I don't care who you are :)

    Did the A/C compressor lock up or something? I would hate to think I couldn't run just because the a/c was blowing hot air. :)

    :scratch: Wisconsin ?? Is that north or south of the MS/TN state line. I've been told you'll fall off the edge if you go past that. So it's got to be south.:bootyshake:
