And the hits just keep on coming

[ksmith]

Harrison's issue has been diagnosed. Head gasket, caused in part by deterioration due to lack of driving. I need to get the Blue Boy repaired, then decide whether to sell him. He was my first vehicle, and I like him lots. There are times when I need a truck. But I don't like him for everyday driving, so. Decision time.




Can it just stop now?

Head gasket repairs are never cheap. I'm sorry. :(

Tell me.

Even more educational was my trip to kbb.com and an assessment of Harrison's present value (he's a '98, XL, 2WD, very few extras). It's just about reached the point where it isn't worth putting money into him.

Poor guy. He deserved to be on a farm or something, like a good draft horse.

Good luck with the Harrison decision.
And I am looking forward to reading the book! So keep writing.

I'll have more to say in another post, but Mickey is much, much better. He's more energetic, greeting me at the door and running a little bit. There's a little bounce in his step. Just let it continue.

King hasn't tossed up since his single episode on Sunday, but I intend to keep him on meds through the weekend, even if I taper them down. A line of t-storms just moved through, and he was a little nervy. Then he fell asleep, which was a nice change of pace.

Good luck with the Harrison decision. I had a very hard time when I had to decide what to do with my boy Bob (1990 Chevy Lumina).
And by the way, I am looking forward to reading your book!

I'm wondering if I should just fix Harrison up, hang into him for a few more years, then donate him to a charity.
