So, after a fun day yesterday it was back to the regular Saturday morning routine---lots of errands....Our Honda needed inspected, so we took it then stopped to fill it up for Mikes work week, needless to say the cost of gas is horrible right now---then off for a burger at Fuddruckers...Lions Park for a final fling on the go-karts, a yearly thing for Mike and Cody to do together...
THEN, the fun began--Mike noticed that the car was running hot--we pulled over and let it cool down some, he checked the water, etc...started it back up, got as far as WalMart, hot AGAIN...sat there for a little while---tried to get it all the way home, end up at a gas station about 2 blocks from our house, it was boiling by then...Mike checked the engine again, he got back in--said the car was junk--engine had blown---SO, we walked home, called wrecker service to bring car home...
If anyone knows of someone that would like a car with a good body please let me know...no engine tho....
We both knew it was coming,it was a 97 Accord, with over 215,000 miles, we bought it new, it has really been a good car for us!
Now, guess it is time to look for another car....UGH....Mikes dream car is a Vette, my dream for Mike is to have one but not in our budget right now----Lindsay said maybe it was Gods way of telling us to go on a get that Vette...maybe the right one will come along soon...
Oh, and the $50 worth of gas we had put into it is not included, it will be syphoned and go into our Volvo...
We had a great 4th of July---after a big breakfast, Mike and Cody went to see "Hancock" and Lindsay and I took the girls to see "Kit Kitredge, An American Girl", which was very good, I highly recommend seeing it. Then Mike and I took Cody to Red Lobster for a nice lunch...home to relax for awhile then off to see the fireworks display downtown Waco...
