1,000 Mile checkup..

I bought a new transmission! YAY… I got to my 1,000 mile point and took it in for a checkup.

Apparently, they found something wrong with it so they had to work on the trans some more to fix whatever is wrong. I didn’t really ask for details other than it won’t cost me anything more.

Only problem was… when they have my truck, I don’t. And yes, I own my other car…but…you can only drive one at a time. This morning I dropped off the truck and got a ride from there to work. I then walked over after work to get the truck (1.6 miles). So..when the truck wasn’t ready, and I hadn’t pre-arranged a ride… it’s left foot right foot all the way home:(

Ok..so I left for home, and got here 50 minutes later, and a total of 4.1306 miles (according to GMap Pedometer) I’m home! w00t. It would take about an hour 20 to walk the whole thing at once, if I didn’t “pause” at the transmission place.

Matty didn’t get an afternoon walk… my work shoes really aren’t good for such a long walk. I should have packed my walkin shoes! But I did get 32 oz’s of 90 schilling for dinner….and I forgot solid food…no wonder I’m hungry.

I think I’ll stick to walking Matty in the dark and chancing screaming lady in the morning instead of walking to and from work as a routine.

Maybe tomorrow I get my truck back!
