Yup, barely...transmission failure, didn't you disconnect the driveshaft and it still locked up again? Then we just dumped it and let Don come get it right?

oh,,,there's more! You and your Dad were in the Blazer pulling your truck on one of those front end only trailers, tire on your truck went flat & started weaving, almost wrecked trying to pull off on side of road, had to go find a new tire, changed it on side of I-40. Not much further we all stopped at a gas station (sister Lori and I were following in my Monte Carlo) and just when we were starting to pull out of the gas station lot the tongue on the trailer broke! This was all around Knoxville -- at least we weren't going down Black Mountain!! Had to park the trailer and your truck and call Don to come and get them. Remember we had our dog (Eskimo Spitz) riding in the bed of your truck under a wire pen thing that Grandpa Austin built, so then you had to hold the dog in your lap all the way to NC, windows down and dog hair all over you. Something on my car cracked and was getting hot so we couldn't use the AC and we had to go all day with the windows down too and mine and Lori's hair blowing everywhere -- OMG!! Trip from and to hell! That should have been an omen! Sorry folks -- I was on a roll there.............^^ ^^
