Hello Lady

Busy as usual. Had our Blue and Gold Dinner and I think every thing was great. Good food, great people and lots of awards. I also filed our recharter. Lots of chasing down signatures but its all done. We are down to ten scouts, of which six are in my den. I must be doing something right!
This month is our Pine wood derby and I have yet to pick up the track. I finally got ahold of the leader who has it and got her address so I think I will try for this weekend.
Yesterday my car ran out of gas on the way to work. I managed to start it back up and prayed I would make it across six lanes of traffic to the gas station. It really was a surprise to me. This morning I dropped the boys off and headed to work and all of a sudden I hear this loud bang. Then I look in my rear view mirror to see what happened and all I saw was smoke. I had terrible flashbacks to when my Mustang caught fire in Ft. Myers a long time ago. So I pulled over. I thought for sure it was a tire but the tires were fine. I popped the hood and see that the water hose had split and was no longer attached to the radiator. Damn! I looked it the trunk for some duck tape but found none. I was about 5 miles from work so I high-tailed it out of there and by the time I got to work the car was overheating. I knew I shouldn't have said anything about getting a new car while it could hear me! The guys at work took a look at it and told me what part I needed so I called the auto parts stores and none of them had one. Finally I found one that did and when I was on the hone with him the guy at work comes in with this shredded wire and rubber thing. It was the belt from the water pump! Damn again! Then 10 min. later I get a call from the school nurse. I have to pick up Feret cause he's running a fever. So no car to drive and no boss in the office. I call the manager and tell him I have to take one of the company trucks to pick up my son. He tells me to lock the front door and so that what I did. I picked up the hose but they didn't have the belt. So I went to get my son and then I dropped him off at home. Then I went to work but on the way there was another parts store on the way so I stopped in there to get a belt. Now I have to wait for the guys at work to get back to the shop so they can fix it. What a day!
Hopefully this weekend will be better!
