It's 6:00 am, why is my phone ringing. It's Ashley - she says Dad left a message on the fridge for her to call me as I left a message for her. Not sure what kind of communication is going on at home.
So now we are sort of all awake. Jane and I get ready first and head upstairs for breakfast. The two boys join us afterwards. We load up the car; pay our bill and head for home. First we are going to make a pitstop at the Honda place. They must have to deal with these type of emergencies all the time. I even tell the guy I'm hoping he will be my god send. His answer to the alarm syster - it's after market, not a honda product, can't tough it. Best thing I could do is to haul out the entire system. If it wasn't for the fact he couldn't have it done until 3:00 pm and it was oing to cost 300.00, I might have done it. (Where's a knowledgable car their when you need one) So I guess we're driving all the way home with flahsing lights.
We stop in Vernon to fill up with gas. We borrow some tape from the cashier. When we explain we need it to place a sign in the back regarding broke flashers, she call's one of her employees out. He suggested we just remove the fuse for the hazard lights. This guy is genius and he's nice. We get the book, locate the fuse and volia - it doesn't work. But I'm impressed with this guy; 1, for thinking fo it, and 2 for offering to help a complete stranger. Of course as Jane and I get back intot he car, we wonder if he even worked for the service station or was just a complete stranger himself.
We turn up the music and head for our 6 to 7 hour drive home. The only long pit stop we made was near field, where I absolutely needed to close my eyes for 15 minutes. What a difference a power nap makes.
Drop off Logan at his Mom's van parked at the MCDonalds. Drop of Jane at home just in time for her to go to work and we head home. It was a ery stressfull night trying to explain the car and what was said and done about it.
