well, last wednesday my wife and i took off to WI for the holidays. visited pop wed. night in sussex (milwaukee area). for turkey day we drove up to sheboygan to the grandparents and then over to cleveland with mom for the night. left friday afternoon for sussex again and the wifes car decides to die. dealer in saukville can't figure out whats wrong and the car starts again, so down the road we go. 10 miles later in cedarburg it dies again. pop comes up from sussex to give us a pull and it starts again. three miles to a shop and it dies again. we leave it at a shop for the night and the gentleman gets right on it sat. morning. after five hours of solid run time and alot of miles driving it will not act up at all. we get back there at noon to pick it up, drive four miles and it dies. now i am steaming! no ore shops open till monday and we have to get back to work so we decide to just buy another one so we can get home. nothing worse than being a mechanic yourself and not having your own tools to fix it!!!! so the wife is the proud owner of a grand cherokee limited now. sat. night we head to st. paul, MN to see her family. we drive back sunday night in a freezing rain storm only to find our first SD blizzard upon us. we wake up monday morning for work and no power. i've never seen so many power lines and poles down in my life. so get the wood stove fired up in the basement so the water doesn't freeze, and there we sat. couldn't go to work cause we leave at 6:30 in the morning and don't get home till 6:30 at night and my stove is small and i didn't want it burning unattended. the house stayed a nice 70 degrees, the wife had hundreds of candles for light at night. the neighbors were all coming over for water because they all have wells(no way to pump) and i have rural water(like city water). after 3 1/2 days of waiting we got power back this morning so i am back to work, back to the computer and finally back to normal.

casey, glad to be home in SD
