I had my first round of the only chemo left to try last Monday. Well up until yesterday I was getting dizzy and short of breath easily from it. So just as I get a day that I feel I might be able to do a little something. The only truck running blows a brake line. Well I have my wife's helper find the leak. The rear line to one wheel. At that time he also tells me the truck pulls to right when brakes are applied. So we pull the front wheels and the calipers are so darn rusted they may be sticking. OK, so I look at the money set aside for my hobby, which isn't much, and start checking to see what I can buy. During this time the wife gets 2 friends to say they will help. I have just enough to get parts leaving me $2.33 til the 3rd, when my SS check comes in. But it's still cheaper than going to a garage. I buy the parts and noone shows to work on the truck. SO I end up working on the truck with a neighbor who knows nothing about mechanical today.
I have to wonder what will happen next. The wife needs the truck because she does lawns to make money to buy our groceries because I collect $50 more than allowed for food stamps. Her plow truck is also not running because of the security system. Chevrolet has had problems with their system not recognizing the key for years. But now the truck won't relearn the key to start. SO it's either a sensor or a body control module. The sensor is the cheapest so hopinng that will work after the 3rd. Oh and the vehicle we use to get me to chemo is a jeep that has no heater. That I can't seem to find anyone to do and the garages what anywhere from $500 up plus parts becaue the whole dash has to come apart.
I hop eeveryone else is having a good week though.
