Ok are you ready for this...
Here we go. Was working boards had no real time for online anything.
Mickey gets the truck fixed Monday, says they had to bore a hole in the front pump to relieve the pressure. It gets done he reseals the transmission and we are back in business. Turn to Tuesday, Erica and I set out for Elk to deliver. We have to take the back roads because we have a front bearing going out and cant drive over 50 mph. We have to stop at the electric company to make arrangements to pay our bill after the cut off date. I get this done. I go out to the truck and there is Erica with the hood up.....Oh no I think. Oh yes there is a large puddle under the truck. She thinks the truck over heated. We check no water in radiator. Got the water from the back started to pour it in when she remembers the truck has to be running to see it circulating. I reach in... Start it...And I notice a stream of transmission fluid flowing from the seal! We call Mickey who is total flabbergasted! I leave the truck in the parking lot where Mickey takes me home to get his(my) truck. I tell mom and we go get Erica and the boards. I tell the Electric company that someone will be towing my truck out of their parking lot as soon as possible. We go to work were we find a 151.50$ check waiting for us... WHAT!!!!!! I've turned in several high paying boards last week and I get 1 invoice? Yeah the girl who qc's was sick on weds and her daughter was sick thursday and fri.
I have something wrong with my knee and thanks to Dr. Dee I feel better about myself. I went to the emergency room on Tuesday of last week(8-8) was told I had a blood clot in my leg....WRONG I walk to much for a deep vein thrombosis. I of course argue with the DR. And say it is my knee....He takes an x-ray...I have a cyst on the long bone of my right leg. Now IM freaked! I get pain killers and anti-inflamitories(my right leg was twice as big as usual). All is good for now until next week when I see the real Dr. And he uses a needle on me....
Wish me luck......

aarrrgggg....
I cannot believe the luck I am having with this truck....
Remember when I said it was fixed?
Yeah, well its broke again. I used it Tuesday to get boards and give boards. All day no problem. Erica and mom on Wednesday, got to Shelby(about 45 minutes away from us) do get our canned veggies and stuff (cheaper than here but we use the money saved in gas but who cares) the gas pedal finally gives us the break its been wanting to give us since we bought the damn thing. Mom and Erica WALK the 3 blocks till our neighbor picks them up and drives them the 3 miles home. Mickey the landlord saves the day by towing and putting in a new screw, Bam! Gas pedal is fixed they try again. They actually get to Shelby and are about 5 miles from home when the transmission BLOWS! There was transmission fluid everywhere! It was 98 degrees outside that afternoon with a heat index of 105! Some lady let them sit in her car until Mickey again shows up to tow them home. The truck is now in the garage where they are trying to figure out why it exploded. We had to use Mickey's truck(every time I ask for it now I ask to use 'my' truck) to get his rent money and other groceries on Thursday. We may have to use it on Tuesday to deliver. We'll see. Mickey did say that the seal let go from too much pressure but what is causing the pressure? Good question . We are waiting for the answer.
Other than that everything is peachy boards are abundant and flowing out as easily as they flow in as long as we have all the parts for them.
And that was my week......
Is it over yet?
