HTHM Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 So here I am up at 4:30, ready to go ice fishing for the first time in my life, Oh happy happy day! Tackle is stowed in the car with care, for all the people I haven't yet met will be there. The key is turned, the motor purrs, worries are spurned, and off I go! Tim's soon makes an appearance, one large coffee for the highway, soon the carefree drive makes for the biway. What's this strange sound, a high pitched whine, could it, would it be a sign? The sign soon shows, a transmission it blows! The 400 is a lonely place, not at all full of grace, the shoulder it seems it the place I will keen, as my trip to Barrie seems to be nary. What is this, an exit appears, the Bass pro is near! With a grind and a groan, and many a moan the saturn it seems will ruin my dreams, of fishing for Tyler today. With a heavy heart as the plan falls apart, Tinbanger is called and told of the fall. With a heavy heart and saying such words as fart, my family is told of the terrible tragedy that befell me. A lilt in her voice and making the choice my wife cheered me up and said, "I'll pick you up". The rest of the day we decided to play and found the car to get me to the next GTG with out screwing up. Forgive the poetic licence. So that is why I wasn't able to go to Fishing for Tyler today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bly Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Yuck! Sorry to hear about the trans. If I read that correctly, you have a new ride? What did you get? Crossing my fingers for you for your next attempt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Sorry to hear that my friend... Had to replace the old station wagon for the same reason not too long ago... It took a tank of gas (approx) to go to the Tyler event and back home in the pick-up when half a tank would suffice with the wagon... What a gas guzzler !!!

HTHM Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Yuck! Sorry to hear about the trans. If I read that correctly, you have a new ride? What did you get? Crossing my fingers for you for your next attempt! Yes we did buy a new (to us) ride, a 01 sunfire....sunbird by pontiac low k's my #2 daughter will be happy. This is the second car in 3 month we have bought. I made a very poor purchase decision with the Saturn, this one will turn out better I hope. That is now 5 vehicles in my name..... All 6 of the kids will get their first car from Mom and Dad. Four down, two to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
