As Horton's friends would say: We're here!! We're here!! We're here!!
Hi Peeps! I missed you all!
Wow - sorry some had such airport issues. We got out of MCO OK - booked on a 4 pm flight - so we wasted the day there. But got hung out over Denver for 40 minutes or so. Flights were pretty good.
Fire burning in Yosemite causing smoke at cabin but no earth moving up here. Hope the So Cal Peeps sustain no damage. Earthquakes are scary but kinda cool.
Stymie and DD8 survived their pack/hiking adventure. All had a good time. They hiked out yesterday and drove to cabin to meet me and Leetle Pirate. Ate dinner with Stymies Mom and then hit the road. Only that the truck would not start!!
No phones. Nearest tow truck - um - about 45 minutes. Did I mention its now about 7:30 pm - getting dark. Nothing open and oh yeah - No Phone!! No cell coverage either.

I seriously wanted to cry. I just wanna be home!!
Jumped the battery - nothing. Gert notices the light on the "key coded ignition thingey" is red. This is not good. If battery is OK - truck is now telling truck not to start. DOH. Stymie had an issue with this gadget before "playing" with it. We sat trying to remember what Ford told us to do to reset this little menace. Finally found a note in the manual folder zipper thingy. Stymie had actually written DOH at the top cause its pretty lame. Got truck started. Did not stop on way home. Got home last night at almost midnight. Pull into driveway. Shut off truck. Attempt to restart truck. Nothing. But weirder than that...we waited a sec...tried again - some instruments and interior lights come on but truck won't start. hmmm...curious battery not holding a charge. Battery not that old. But when I opened the door to exit the vehicle...all the interior lights start flashing and it sounds like the turn indicator is on. blinky, blinky, blinky.
It was like a disco dance floor in there. Interesting enough except it woke up Leetle Pirate who then wanted not to go back to bed.
Oh Tim....How is that 2009 Edge looking!?
Seriously do not need to be buying new vehicles right now. Pray for my truck!!
But I do get to figure out how to get said dead truck to the garage....hhmmm
wonder if the girls can help me push it. Its only about 3 miles.

WELCOME HOME EVERYONE!! Can we go again now please!
