ROAD TRIP 2006

Okay, so today I did quite a random thing! I packed my bag...okay, I am not going to lie, I packed my bags and headed out to medicine hat! So here I am , I drove five hours and am going to spend a couple days here visiting with an old friend: JOYCE
This is so exciting for me..I was so bubbly the whole drive down...the heat didnt get me down, the butterflies splattered on my windshield didnt even get me down. I did have quite an embarrasing mishap though. I called home to let them know what was going on, and Rexy being the concerned Father that he is asked if i checked my water levels and oil?! what...how do you do that? So Rexy advised me to stop at the next gas station, and check water and oil. So I had just passed Swift Current...(dont ask where that is, because I wouldnt be able to tell you)..and I didnt know when the next stop would be! Then about an hour later, there she was...a lonesome, run down Esso station (I just totally made that up, I have no idea what gas company it was now) . So I parked my car, and pulled the latch to open the hood. Then I battled the hood for about three minutes.(this was the amount of time when the gas jockey and his group of friends realized they should probably stop snickering at the city girl and lend her a hand) So my knight in shining armour and his possy gather round and open my car hood for me. Then he asks what the problem was...and I explained that I was told I should check my water levels....the gas jockey and his friends had no idea what I was talking about so they left me there, trying to figure out where I would put the water if I had none.....Then fortunately a saint...we will name him John Smith came by, and realized I was in some desperate situation and explained it was not water but Engine Coolant and that I was okay to go. Siggh.....Oh John Smith....He truly was a hero....and as for the gas jockey and his gang....I hope they are stranded at that lonesome esso for the rest of their lives.! So for all of you who forget...remember to check your engine coolant before a random road trip!!!
