Oma's Trip ~ 02/25/03 Dateline: Lafayette, LA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A little car trouble... I-10 westbound and all of a sudden, the car just starts kinda jerking forward... I look up and see the sign that says "Rayne - 2 miles"... I figure that's some kind of sign that I'm supposed to stop in Rayne and visit my old friend, Jennifer, and have the car looked at... Jennifer was working, but hubby, Donnie, helped me find a mechanic... first thought it might be the fuel filter... then we got word that it was the distributor, BUT that shop didn't work on distributors so we were off to find another mechanic... and by then we had found out that it wasn't the distributor -- it probably has some kind of problem with the carburetor (the lady Donnie talked to confused the word "distributor" with "carburetor". Got it delivered to the 2nd mechanic in Crowley, LA - who DOES work on carburetors -- just before 5pm and he'll look at it in the morning and see what he can do... In the meantime, I visited with my friends a bit, ate some dinner and I'm now settled in at the Motel 6 in Lafayette -- and can't get online... As soon as I get online, I'll post this to the web page... Another thing I'll do when I get online is check the distance between here and San Antonio... so that may be my destination for tomorrow. Are we having fun??
