broke down in Alabama

[laserpat]

Hit a piece of steel on  interstate 10 and it poked a hole in the oil pan on my car, the dealer in Mobile didn't have one but could have one in 3 days for about $500 plus $1400 to install. Wet paint, Ron Reis was kind enough to rescue us with his trailer and get us to thier home in St Arment, La. My sister and her husband are driving my truck here tomorrow from Austin so I can get a tow dolly and get home.At least we found the problem before we fried the engine.

Sorry to hear bout your problem, hope it didn't put a damper on the experience of seeing the space shuttle lift off. Good people always step up to help.
