Back to hobbies ... and Life

Finally got a decent photo of our black pug. He's a beut! He has to think about things alot before dealing with them. He has to sniff and sniff and sniff on a spot and think about what it all means. While the boston terrier would just take a quick sniff and head out looking for things to eat or things to chase. The collar he wears has lots of spikes on it ... just to keep Sheba from chewing on it or using it to pull him around.

Driveshaft Disconnect

When your drive shaft is hanging down like this ... and the piece on the right is laying on the ground ... the truck won't go anywhere.

I'm sitting on the shoulder of I-94 just north of I-80, just past exit 71B (Sibley Blvd) ... in the Chicago, IL area.

And when that part on the right came off, it whacked a couple of things ... like an air release valve ... and broke out a piece ... so I can't release the brakes ... all the air just hisses out and I'm stuck right here ...

The A/C has decided to just growl ... instead of work ... fortunately, the outside air temp isn't very hot ... rather pleasant. We just had a brief rain shower, as well.

I called the Cook County Sheriff's office ... who connected me to the State Police ... who are going to send out a wrecker to tow me someplace to get this fixed ...
