Fate has stepped in yet again.
I was planning on replacing the driver side CV axle in my car this afternoon, should the afternoon be clear, I had even already picked up the part. Lo and behold, I went into town for an hour or so, and the tranny went out.
I don’t mean it was a little low on fluid, or that something was a bit loose. I mean you can grind gears in an automatic, and the thing will roll in park.
I start a new job in a week, that requires a 25 mile commute, one way. My household has this one vehicle. We just got it paid off in Dec. Such is life.
However, we were planning on getting a second vehicle this year anyway, and I have wanted a truck for a while. I just wasn’t planning on it right now.
On the upside, I have found a few online to call about on Monday, and found a possible (unlikely) piece of property closer to my new job, for lease. We’ll see how things go this next week.
Some days, to reach goals, you just plod along. Others, unexpected motivation just sort of pops out of the pavement, cleverly disguised as a road block.
I’m sure a solution will present itself. Things like this force me to consider the concrete practicality of the execution of ideas. Oh well, I work better under pressure.
