We
loaded all our luggage in the van for our overnight trip to Monroe, Wisconsin. The trip on which we will be departing,
shortly. I know it doesn’t sound like it
could possibly be much luggage since it’s just an overnight trip, but for my
family even a brief trip involves a significant amount of gear (and
occasionally some livestock).
After
the luggage was loaded I took the van to the gas station to fill it up. Then, as I was driving back home from the gas
station, the fun began. The van
stalled.
I tried
to restart it.
Nope.
I tried
again.
Nope.
I tried
several more times.
You
know that sinking feeling you get when car troubles are happening? I had that feeling.
After sitting
for a while and thinking about how unpleasant it is to walk in the rain, I tried
again. Fortunately, the van started and
I made it home.
When I
pulled in the driveway I looked at all the luggage that had been loaded in the
van and realized that—in light of what had just happened—I was not about to
take this van on a road trip to Wisconsin that involved driving at night.
So, we
took all the luggage that had been loaded in the van and moved it into the car.
This
already seems like it could be an interesting adventure, huh?
