Car trouble

Kat's little blue mazda decided not to start today. :( It turns over but doesn't want to fire up.
I am not very good at fixing cars, but I will poke around a bit this afternoon. The car is in Keene right now.

We won't be able to visit the people we wanted to today or watch the lynch doll crash at the ski resort. But other than that we are not hurting for time.

If Jim has some time, he will probably attempt to fix it for us. Mike one time fixed something on our car ... that worked out well. If we can't fix it, then I guess we will need to take it to the shop on Monday.

The only real need we have for the car is picking up Kira at the airport Monday night. So if we don't get 'er fixed by then, we would love to pay for someone to help us pick her up from Manchestahhh.

Spark and fuel, you need spark and fuel
not much a car will do with out spark
and fuel.

Is that anything like 'court and spark'?

Yes I have, its more complicated, but works
the same way.

Russell Kanning

for the first few feet it doesn't have any fuel but a lot of spark ;)

Russell Kanning

no spark .... so will look more tomorrow afternoon

we might need help picking up kira, so Jim can help us look at the car again.

I was planning on holding a "report tsa abuses here" sign .... as a warmup for ridley

It was the distributor.  They're ordering parts for it now.

Thanks to Jim for all the help trying to fix it, and Elizabeth for giving me a ride to the airport Monday.  Monday was a really bad day.

Jim Johnson

How much is the distributor costing you?

boy, in my beliefs that was a warning sign for Russell to stay put.

$460 installed.  Not sure when they're going to be done with the car.

Kat Kanning

$1200 later, I finally have my car back today.  That was our entire savings.  :(
