Repairs and More Repairs

My pretty "Lady Blue" got her new tranny in and running just fine. Well..... the tranny is.
She's had a little trouble with her "git-up-n-go" apparatus. Oh dear, no fun being sick! And talk about the cost of office visits (repair garage) and the cost of another surgery (part replacement)!!
Seems her "git-up-n-go" got up and went!
She had to go back to the "doctor" and be "re-diagnosed". This time it seems the throttle feed, which is electronically controlled by a rheostat, not cable, had started to fail just when the new tranny had renewed all of our excitement about looking forward to the upcoming journey. I am sure glad to be learning about it now instead of breaking down somewhere, after we started out. Thanking the Lord!!
 
Part is ordered ($$$'s zoweeeee!!) will be put in Monday. Mechanic felt so bad about taking so long with the tranny he is only charging me for the part, not labor. Well, that is some good news!
  Rav4 toad has new back tires and rotors.
Maybe now,  we can all stay well and get going before the cold weather hits??
Oh, and Izzy has been to the vet for a checkup and to the groomer for a shampoo and trim.
"Can we go now, Mommy, please??"
We are all just chomping at the bit to get out there again, although it will be another couple weeks yet.  Can you say "FREEDOMmm"???

  1. Yep, better to happen before you hit the road. I can't imagine looking for a repair place out in the unknown.

  3. Thank you, Susan! I hope to not be under such time constraints this time. I will let you know if I get close. I haven't finalized my route yet.
