Oh brother!
well the last running vehicle ain't anymore, that is the main bad news
the good news is I'm having some wine and we are going to have some nice ribeyes grilled over real mesquite wood in a few minutes. (Been saving those babies for over a month in the freezer!)

my poor youngest killed his third vehicle in about 6 months tonight. poor kid is getting jittery. (none his fault as far as we can tell, unlike me growing up whereby it WAS your fault if you were driving it, no matter WHAT the problem was)

hoping it is just a fuel filter or maybe the pump (even though a dodge) at least there is hope. The big problem is that it is sitting about 5 miles away and we don't have anything else running at the moment. the neighbor brought him home and may help us tomorrow afternoon if we don't figure something out in the morning. I do have towing insurance and we ALWAYS make a killing on that, being so far from town.

Anyway, happy birthday to me! as Garrison Kieler says - it could be worse, so a toast to my DU friends and to my good neighbors, even if they are republicans.:toast:

1. Happy B'day back, from one Saggitarius to another.
Enjoy those steaks and the envy oozing from me (always a good seasoning), and tell your kiddo to just ride out the bad carma. Maybe it's teaching him how good having a mom who doesn't blame you is.

5. Have a happy birthday and great dinner!
Although you're probably done by now. Sounds good, too. :party:

Oh, yeah, been there and done that with the kids and their vehicles. Hope it's not too bad and I agree, you are one great mom not to blame the kid when the vehicle goes bad. I'm sure he knows how lucky he is!
