We loaned our van to a friend a month
or so ago. He was extremely grateful right up to the point that it caught on
fire.
Removal of the smoking relay from the
dashboard resulted in the discovery of approximately 3000 other things
which were broken or about to break. Time of death was pronounced
and Husband set about hunting for a replacement vehicle.
What we need:
A functioning, all-purpose vehicle
capable of towing a load of up to 1400 pounds through the Rocky
Mountains; suitable for utilitarian and recreational purposes.
What Husband bought:
A late-model Ford Explorer, low
mileage, body in excellent condition; interior very clean; one owner from new; does
not have reverse or gears 3 through 5.
Husband can do complicated math in
his head without moving his lips or his fingers. He gives a good back rub and
once used a leaf blower to clean the living room so I am confident that he has
the necessary ingenuity required to replace anything our ‘new’ ‘vehicle’ may
need, up to and including the transmission. Which it needs.
Husband is never happier than when he has a project and never more satisfied than when that project is completed successfully, against all odds and public opinion. I am constantly amazed, endlessly impressed and vastly proud of him. Best Husband ever. Despite the fact that, as far as the neighbours are aware, we have O.J.'s get-away vehicle up on blocks in our garage.
