Well the trip we are on started out pretty good, then it went to h____. wife's 2008 dodge van started making a noise about 50 miles from home, found dealership open, and 3 hours and $700. later( power steering pump replaced) we are back on our way. all goes great till 20 miles south of Atllanta. traffic so heavy down to a crawl for 60 or so miles. Grandkids, wife, Daughter, and myself (nerves) are wore to a frazzle. 12 hours after leaving home we arrive at our South Ga. home. it is normaly a 6.5 or 7 hour trip.Wife and Kids mad at me for me being so short with them( can't smoke in wife car).I slept with the dog. He is Never mad at me.............Hope that today is better. going to nursing home in Nahunta Ga. to visit with my Mother. wish me luck because Mom is always in a foul mood, she resents getting old and helpless...........
