The Big Rescue - Stranded

The Captn's last sea duty - The Mallow WLB 396 -1978 circa

.

Like Angels from the sky, no not the Coast Guard; rather Heather who saw a pathetic head scratching chap hunched over an open hood of a jeep. (she gave me a ride home) And Debbie who's skills are un-paralleled in the areas of setting up a tow. (saved me $80.00 got my jeep and me back to world.) I tip my hat to the father's who taught their daughters the how to when to why to's. I think women who can back up a trailer and parallel park are hot!!

.

Stranded in the middle of nowhere deep deep in the community of Lake Mills - Sentry Foods parking lot, I managed to use all my survival skills, (kept myself from walking over to the Mexican restaurant for nachos and a cold beer) Managed to stay focused and got home safely.

.

I would like to add through this crisis, Koa the wonder dog was cool calm and collected, never waivered. The jeeps at the shop, I'm home safe and sound; Didn't even have to activate my PLB.

.

We'll see what the car doc says.... hopefully a nip and a tuck, really don't want to spend a billion dollars on a jeep make over.

You can send your electronic get well cards to my jeep to brian0017 AT yahoo DOT com

For those keeping score, the Capt'n goes under the knife tomorrow. Oil change, and some bodywork -The Ole Double Hernia Repair.
