Well the parts should arrive tomorrow, they might as well be body parts as they are costing an arm and a leg. We have been warned that it may be upwards of 2800 US dollars. This is a small town business and we feel comfortable that we will not be overcharged, that it will be fair. We are hopeful that the mechanic will get the old tranny up and running by day's end as Saturday and Sunday are not working days so it is crucial that he get it done tomorrow! We cannot get a rebuilt one as they found out when they called around for one as they do not rebuild trannys this old!! I think that is something like my body parts!! Anyway, we are not letting this bother us as it is warm and sunny and it is hard to not be happy in this lovely temperature.
We are locked into the dealership compound tonight with the guard dog (no one has told him his job, he is a pussycat and thrilled to spend time with us!!).
We just had a yummy salad and are enjoying one of the great wines that we bought today on our wine tasting tour, in the Malibu, that we so fortunately are towing!! We drove to a larger town, Madera (Firebaugh only has stop signs) and got groceries and stopped at a couple of wineries. And that little winery that we visited last is a real treasure. Some very nice wines. So if Firebaugh or Madera are on your travelling agendas then Mariposa Winery is a real find! We also took the dogs on a walk through the park in Madera and let Karl go in the enclosed baseball diamond to run off his pent up energy! Molly was pivoting on her hind legs as he circled her and tried to get a chase going. She does her best and in her mind she is playing hard, her eyes are like diamonds when she thinks she is after him!!
Well let's hope we are on the road tomorrow night and heading further south! Bakersfield is our plan if the tranny is finished!
