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??
