OMG thank god for close furry friends. So the other day I had to head to court in the morning to finish paying a ticket I got, you know no biggie. Well I headed out around 8 am so i can get there before they get busy and then go about my day. The road that takes me directly to the court is closed off a few miles from my house for construction, so I have to take a detour that takes me like four miles out of the way and in the middle of the country (not like i dont live in the middle of the country already). Well i take the detour and im coming up to the over pass to get back to the main road to head to the court. Just as im coming up the overpass my car dies, im freaking out of gas. Im like 12 miles from the nearest gas station one way and 10 miles from home the other way.
So after much bitching and cursing I start walking the railroad tracks near where the car died back home. Now luckily I was able to get a hold of my local fur friend Dash and he offered to help me out. He met me at my house (since I was already about home when i got a hold of him), and take me back to my car with gas. So I grab some gas and head back to the car, Now lucky I did this cause the battery in the car isn't the best but it works. I get to the car and the battery is about dead from leaving the hazards running. Luckily Dash had jumpers so we got the car going. You don't know how pissed i would have been had I walked 10 miles back to the car only for it not to start.
Now for those of you wondering the fuel gauge in the car does not work as of yet. The car was free and it sat for 4 years before i got it so it has its little things i need to attend to yet. So its a big THANK YOU to Dash for helping out, I know others also would have stepped forward had they not been at work or to far away and I thank them to for at least thinking of me. But hey on the plus side i burned some weight off with my 10 mile walk....... *giggles*.
