Pedestrians

You already know that Honey walks five miles each morning five days a week, and that I usually walk a little over a half mile a day.  Today’s post isn’t about that – today’s post is about the fact that, if we want to go anywhere for the next couple of days, walking is our only option.

The P1740 error code showed back up again on our truck, and although we haven’t had any serious problems yet, we decided to bite the bullet and have the transmission rebuilt.  It was a painful (and expensive) decision, but we decided it was better to fix it now than to have it fail when we were on the road.

I priced renting a car for three days, but after talking it over we decided that we really didn’t need to go anywhere.  Another $150 on top of the cost of the transmission just seemed like a waste.

This is the first time since I was in the Army in 1966 that I have been without a vehicle, and even then the government provided me with a jeep to drive around the base.  It’s an odd feeling, but so far, so good.
