The Trip

Yesterday I headed to PA. It takes 2 hours and 15 minutes door to door on the average drive. Yesterday I left at 4:00 p.m. and arrived at 8:00 p.m. That's 4 hours for those in Millersville.

I got gas on the way out of town, and checked the oil. But I did not latch the hood properly. So on Ritchie Hwy. the hood flies up and I had to slow the truck down without being able to see ahead of me. The lift arm on the left side was hyper-extended so that when I tried to put the hood down, it wouldn't budge. I'm standing on the hwy swinging a wrench at the lift arm trying to get it back in place, no go. So I get in the truck, throw it in reverse, and back down Ritchie hwy into the Patriots Plaza. Then I ended up unbolting the lift arm. So, after that problem (all my fault) I got on the Road. When I got to I-95 I found that it was locked up. It took me an hour to go three miles. It was awful. I ended up getting to 695 and taking Bel Air (blair) Rd. all the way to PA.

I arrived at 8:00 pulled into the parking spot in front of my host home, and the truck stalled. I tried to restart it because it wasn't straight in the parking space, but it wouldn't turn over. So I left it, and decided I'd fix it this afternoon after class.

It made for a long trip, and I was tired. Then I had to write a paper!

BTW, the truck started right up today. I guess it's a little more reliable then I gave it credit for.
