Las Vegas or Bust!

Anne, my youngest sister, called and said she was going to Las Vegas to see Kathryn before she left for China.   What a great idea, I inform Deb (ala JoAnn) that we are going to Vegas for some family time with the 3 younger girls.....of course she "gleefully" agrees and off we go.......well kinda!!!!

We pick the car up from Lexus, they are fixing the junction box that got wet from a leaky window that Techna Glass incorrectly installed at the end of Feb, and YES Techna glass is paying for the repair.  As we jump in the car it becomes painfully obvious that the A/C is not turning on, thankfully  we discover this before we leave the Lexus parking lot.  Whoops, a blown blower fan after 30 minutes and 150.00 we are on our way......

UNTIL.............

We hit Cove Fort, were we stop to use the "privy"  when re-enter the car and try to start the car........it won't start.  With the help  of K.C., from the conveniently placed "Cove Fort Repair" shop we push the car to the shop where K.C. announces that "you've got a blown fuel pump".   NICE..........to make a long story or trip longer, K.C. calls Jimmy, his dad, to tow us to the nearest dealer that can repair the car.  We have plenty of options:

Beaver
Richfield
Fillmore
St George or
Salt Lake

and we will have to wait for the part which won't be to any of these places by 4 Friday afternoon.  So much for leaving early Thursday so as to have enough time in Vegas.   We set our sights and wallet on St George, Stephan Wade can fix it with a part from Las Vegas.  So far, if my math mind serves we right we are in this trip for:

 550.00    Tow
 400.00    Part
 162.00    Labor
1112.00                                       
  150.00   Blown Blower Fan (whoops forgot to add this)
1262.00   Total


Jimmy kindly allows us to ride in our car on top of the tow truck, who would've have thought, which we do, car idling all the way to St. George NO ONE was going to deprive me of the A/C!!!!  Deb's sister and niece, Robin and Jenny meet us at the dealership and lend us their "ride" we drive to Sand Hollow were we take up residence at Deb's other sister Sara's house, which thankfully has a pool, A/C, and cable.

I wish I knew the end to this story, but.......we are still in St. George, Tom from the dealership says he will have the part by 4 maybe 4:30 and should have it finished by today if not "then I can have it for you on Tuesday".........

Seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
