Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

I decided to get the kayak out this weekend, which led to booking a site at Buckhorn in Necedah. There's a cool looking area on the Yellow River that I scoped out a few years ago. I'm finally going to give it a shot.

Just finished setting up a little while ago and having a beer while I catch up on TW.

I had a picture to attach, but my reception is too weak here.

 

Sit Rep 3 - some bad news.

Enroute to Bozeman MT, the engine died again at low idle when stopping at a small town gas station. After talking with Torfab more, the leading theory is air getting into the fuel system somehow, and/or a vacuum leak. Made it to Billings, MT and spending the night at hotel #2 (no hotels were planned for this trip).

The 80 is getting shipped to Torfab at their expense, either tomorrow or Friday, most likely. I'll probably have to fly to Seattle and get a rental Tacoma to continue the journey, grab my gear from the 80, and meet my cousin somewhere near Vancouver. The saga continues, but we're pushing on.

 

Seems my comment was a bad omen.

 

Hey, haven't been on for a day and a half. Did I miss anything?


Jeez guys. Glad everyone is safe, but sorry to hear of the truck troubles.

 

Telling ya, ya need a new gas cap.

Very frustrating, I can imagine....

 

Maybe......they still don't need our help, so I guess it's fishing and mtn. biking this weekend........bummer.

 

Every day I wake up feeling like it's Saturday or Sunday. In way it is, except for having a doctor's appointment.
