Toyday's lesson... Humility!

We were on our way to Vegas and stopped to drop Nora's Vue at the Body Shop. When I pulled in I could not get the key out of the ignition and the car would not start again. Well I just had a new alarm installed on Saturday (actually finished today). So I thought they screwed something up. I called the place that installed it, tried to keep my cool until after explaining to the person who I was, they asked. Did you get the Alarm here. Which I screaned why would I call you if I did not!!!

So the guy who installed the Alarm drove an hour at 6:00pm at night to look at it. After testing a bunch of fuses. He got in the drivers side and started moving the shifter (Automatic). After a few seconds he said he found the problem. In the front part of the Shifter cover he pulled out the top to a sports water bottle I had placed there!

The installer (which was not the guy I screamed at) was very gracious and even resisted when I tried to pay him for his troubles.

Well we decided it was too late to drive to Vegas and went home to start tomorrow morning.

Thankfully I have a wife who is very accepting of my little quirks and moments of stupidity.

I personally would of much rather hid under a rock
