Ok not really! We were taking a couples 5th wheel down to Coosbay for them and we still had 60 miles to go when the fuel pump on our truck decided to give out. Sad day! I could have gotten really cranky and depressed because the part could end up costing almost $1000 dollars! But instead, I decided to look at everything with a glass half full not empty. So......we had just come out of alot of corners and were slowing down to come into a town when the truck started sputtering. We had a safe spot to pull over and right across the street there was an older couple who were nice enough to let us use their phone to make a long distance call. None of our cell phones had service. There was 3 of them too! The couple were getting charged everytime we made a long distance call too. He is the Mayor of the town and his wife is the mail lady. The only 2 jobs this town has. The population is about 225 people, just to give you an idea of how small this town was. Anyways, I was extremely greatful that we had a safe spot to pull over without having to push the truck to get to a safe pull over spot, we were able to contact AAA, the couple we were taking to Coosbay had the right AAA package to get our truck towed back to Eugene, and the tow truck driver was very nice.
Anywho, as you can imagine we were stuck there for several hours so naturally we were bored!
Here are a few videos I took that were very funny!
In this video, Eli was fanning Elivia with a brochure thing. She thought that it was pretty funny!
This one Eli is dropping water into her mouth. Silly Daddy!
Here Eli decided to put his safety goggles on Elivia! She looks ssooooo goofy!!
Good for you for keeping a positive attitude. That's so hard to do in situations like that.
