Had an interesting day yesterday. And this morning. Hehe...
Was bored spitless for for the first part....Read a book...or two, then got online. Talked to Brett for a little while. Then he asked if I wanted to go into town with him to hang out at Kirby's after he dropped off some money for his brother. I was all for getting out of the house. So, I say yes, and he comes to pick me up but then his truck wont start. So, he gets under his car and we do the whole jump start thing. He said it was because the bolts were loose that it was acting up.
So, we go to get air in his tires at Tony's Service Station in Edgewood.
He's got little 8 balls on his tire things. It was funny.
We get back into the truck when he's done and it wont start, so once again, we do the jump start thing again, and as he pulls out of the gas station he asks if we should go bug Nae, and I'm all Yes! So we go to bug Nae for a while.
She was watching the Moulin Rouge, which I got stuck in. And now I want to find my CD that I burned from her CD.
We left about 6:30...or tried to. We got out side and the truck wouldn't start again so Brett decided "Screw it, I'm gonna tighten the bolts. He did and we were off.
I had told my mom I would be back before 9:00pm because I have that tournament I run today and need to be there at 9:00am.
And he said that was ok, there would be no problem getting me back by then. So, he tightens the bolts and we head into Albuquerque.
Just as we hit the new stop light for the Tijeras intersection Brett loses the connection. I'm luaghing. I timed him as he reconnects it. Took him 30 seconds.
Then, about 2 miles-ish out of Albuquerque the truck starts sounding like it's about to lose something important so we pull over.
It's the drive shaft. Something had fallen off or something and it was about to come off. So, we walk to the Smith's on Tramway and Central to call his brother.
His mom, step dad and a family friend with her son ended up picking us up and then everyone decided to go out to eat.
By this time I know I'm not getting home by 9:00pm because it's 8:45-ish.
So, Glo (The family friend. I think I spelled it right...) took us to the Cooperage. Mmm...yummy.
My mom's not happy. I'm like, pfft, whatever.
So, we leave there about 11:30. and go to drop Glo and her son off at their house, then go to Miguel's to pick something up for Shawn. Can't find it, and it takes them a while to figure out they hadn't left it there.
We pile back into the car and it wont start becuase the battery is almost dead. So we wait a while because it seems it's charging up by itself. It does, kinda.
I got a kick out of it because Miguel lives a couple of houses away from where Sandi lives.
So, we drive back to the truck and start trying to fix it. Then, around 2:00-30 we find out that the U joint wont fit.
So, we pack up and end up having to jump start the other car.
By this time Brett is bouncing off the walls. We were all tired and getting a little punchy.
He kept laughing at the weirdest things, but when he laughed I laughed so it was cool. His parents were kinda left behind though.
They were really nice.
I had lots of fun, and despite the fact I only had 3 hours of sleep, I'm glad I went.
Guess I better get off.
I need to get ready to leave.
Poco taco.
