So, I have a story to tell.  Let’s just say that i’m not too happy right now. 

I got a call from my mom a couple weeks ago asking me if I would like to go to Oregon with her.  Of course I said yes, and I headed for her house on the 20th.  We stayed in Oregon for 5 nights, and it was fun.  We went to the beach.  I got a lot of great pictures.  We headed home on the 25th, but I live about 3 hours away from her so I didn’t make it home until the 26th.  I was sure happy to be home, but as I pulled into the drive way I realized that my husbands truck was there but my rig wasn’t.  I figured he just drove it to work so that he could do an oil change or something.  When I got inside and spoke with his dad I was told that wasn’t the case.  My husband had took my truck to his work the day before to replace my shocks which were going bad, in the process he realized that one of my fuel lines was begining to crack so he decided to replace that as well.  Now don’t worry, nothing bad happened at that point.  He was able to replace the fuel line, but when he was driving home that night my rig just wasn’t running right.  That’s why he decided to take it back to work the next day.  After I got home I decided to run into town and run some errands.  I stopped at his work and left his truck for him to drive, and took mine.  I went to my lawyers office, but when I came back out my rig wouldn’t start.  I was a little nervous,  my rig has never not started for me.  As a matter of fact I have never had any problems with it.  So I called my husband to come look at it.  When he showed up he said that he had changed the spark plugs in it earlier and he thought that maybe it had something to do with that.  So just to be safe we went back to the parts store and got all new spark plugs for it.  After returning to my lawyers office and changing the spark plugs we quickly realized that the spark plugs wasn’t the problem, my rig still wouldn’t start.  So we decided at that point that we should just call a tow truck and have it towed to my husbands shop, so I gave them a call.  Wouldn’t you know it but as soon as the tow truck headed our way, my rig started.  It wasn’t running very good, but it started.  I called the tow company back and cancelled, and I followed my husband down to his shop.  After tinkering with it for a while, my husband decided to take it to a different shop to have them hook it up to the computer and figure out what was wrong.  They had it for a while, then called us to let us know that they found out that the fuel line that my husband had replaced somehow got kinked and it ruined my fuel regulator.  At that point we were a little relieved, it would only cost us $60.00 to replace.  The shop replaced the regulator and guess what, my rig still wasn’t running right.  They said that they would keep it over night and start looking again in the morning.  That all happened yesterday. 

Today I get a call from my husband, with some more bad news.  As the shop began to diagnose the problem they ended up finding out that a pack rat had made a nest under my passenger seat while my rig was sitting for that week, and chewed through some of my wires.  They said that they don’t know exactly what to do, we can pay and have the wires replaced that they can see but they don’t know if the rat chewed any wires up under my dash board.  So at this point, we’re not sure what to do.  I think my husband told them to just start replacing wires but i’m not sure.  This could end up costing a lot of money to fix.  I can’t wait until he gets off work so I can talk to him.  I really want an update on my rig.  I really want to know if it can be fixed.  I guess I will let you know what will happen, as soon as I find out. 

What would you do??

At this point in my life I have decided to work on becoming a photographer.  I took some online courses, and spent a lot of time looking through the lens of my camera.  I was recently notified that I’m getting a couple of my pics published in books, and my instructors for my online courses tell me that I have a lot of talent.  At this point I guess I would call myself an armature photographer.  As such, I pride myself on finding spectacular views to capture.  My sister in law has one such view, right from her front porch.  Her house sits up on a hillside that over looks a valley near Twin Bridges Montana .  We visited her, and her family, this last summer and had a wonderful time.  The fishing in the surrounding rivers and creeks was amazing.  That was the first time I had the opportunity to catch Brown Trout.  It doesn’t matter if you enjoy fly fishing or spinner fishing, trust me they’ll bite.  The house it self is absolutely beautiful. If you are in the market for your own Montana Dream home this could me the one!  Just click on this link and you’ll see what I mean! http://www.forsalebyowner.com/listing/7BF71.  In the future sometime I’m sure my husband and I will end up selling the house we currently live in and buying a new one.  And now that I know of the possibility of selling it my self we might very well take advantage of the opportunity, with both selling and buying through For Sale By Owner. It’s a win, win situation for all when you can save money!

You know what’s funny I wrote this on Feb. 13th and forgot to post it until now.  I hit save instead of published.  DUH!!!!
