Best laid plans of mice and men

Wednesday - June 25, 2014 - Alex's graduation

Looking forward to a great day in Sturgeon Falls tomorrow visiting my sister and watching as our godson  Alex graduates from high school. As we go to take up the garbage, we discover our truck won't start. After some investigation, it is determined that : it's not the battery, it's not the starter, it's somewhere in between. Called several repair shops in Alban, French River, Sturgeon Falls, AND  Sudbury only to find out that due to the long weekend, getting it fixed before then is an impossible
feat . So the graduation is missed, our friends and neighbours are bringing us for groceries and after a few inquiries days later, we find out that by using a screwdriver and touching two wires together, we can actually get the thing going. Although we look like the Flintstones, and strangers think we wre stealing our own truck, Mikes new key is now a screwdriver, we will wait until we get home and take it to our regular mechanic.
