 We made it home. It was so hot as we unpacked. I gave Phineas a hose bath and that help cool things down so I could keep unpacking.

The way home was exciting. As we were getting ready to leave, the truck wouldn’t start. After a string of obscenities, Paul tried to charge the battery. Nope! After a LONG time, he decided the battery was just not holding a charge and tried to jump start it. There were several attempts made to do so. 

I told Paul it was a sign we shouldn’t leave. My aunt and I fixed the truck. After standing for a LONG time, we decided to get out chairs. As soon as we both sat down, the truck started. We must be magic. We also decided that we should have tried that sooner ha ha.

After we finally get on the road, the truck starts with a funny vibration. The farther we drove, the works it got. As we were entering in Rochester, the truck felt like it was continuously driving over semi large rocks at a fast pause. Poor little Jiminy was bouncing all over my lap, airborne.

The tire didn’t explode, thank goodness.

We also forgot to update the registration….oops. We are half hazardous making it through right now.

Phineas got the lake washed off of him. He snoozed in the sun the rest of the afternoon. He finally had to come in because he was getting sunburn. 

Ethan had made huge progress on his car. He said he enjoyed having the house to himself. Good! Now it is back to reality tomorrow.
