I drove dad's old car into town today...had driven for about four miles when I reached the first stop light. It felt like it wanted to die...at the next stop light it did die...but started right back up. Wonder what is wrong with that crazy car?
Went to Wal-Mart and when I came out...the front had arrived...the wind was blowing like crazy. Bet the temperature dropped at least 25 degrees and of course I did not have my jacket with me. Was going run more errands but decided they could wait and went to Domino's Pizza instead, then headed straight home.
Once more turned on the central heater and it will remain on for at least the next two days. I do not do cold weather except in Terlingua around a roaring campfire...I sure do miss my favorite desert and my friends :-(
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
If that car is has a carb and is too old to be fuel injected, and the gas has been sitting in it for a few months....it could be the wonderful FedGov enforced ethanol fuel that goes sour after it sits for long. I understand it begins to go bad after 3-4 weeks. Ruins lawn mowers, chain saws, weed eaters and all sorts of small engines.

It could very well be it Bigfoot.
DeleteWhen are you going to update your blog? Thanks for commenting and give my regards to Little Foot :)
Where the heck did our early Spring Time go?
ReplyDeleteIt decided to leave us for a couple of days Dizzy :-(
DeleteI am ready to be warm, inside my house and outside. It stays so cold indoors that I have to wear lots of layers. I'll probably be complaining in a few months when we have unbearable heat waves like last year! Glad you got that car started again.
ReplyDeleteIn my house in Houston I have not turned on the heater in about a decade and like yourself just dress in layers.
DeleteMy mom is a petite woman and she is always cold so we have to have the heater on at her house and it costs a pretty penny.
Like yourself I will be complaining during the summer heat waves that in West Texas are the norm :-(
Welp its pretty cool here in Terlingua to. 56 here right now after a low of 30 last night. Wind is probably gusting to around 40 MPH. Fortunately its supposed to warm back up in a couple of days.
ReplyDeleteTffnguy, so good to hear from you!
DeleteI sure do miss your posts...wish you would blog more often. My mom is always asking me about you and how you are doing. You do not know it, but you have "an adoptive Mexican mother" :D
Thank you for dropping by and don't be a stranger. Hugs and give our friends in common a big hello from MsBelinda. I sure do miss Terlingua!
