Shannon’s truck broke just as she got to work in Grand Junction yesterday. Since she would get off around 6:30 that evening we left around 4:00 p.m. to go get her.
Thank Heavens! it was in the Target parking lot. Shannon works at Cost Cutters in the busiest mall in Grand Junction.
Why Thank Heavens! she was able to park the truck close to her work — where she pushed the truck into place wasn’t hard for Terry and I to pull her out of — AND the parking lot had lights! Lots and Lots of Lights!
Terry had to winch by hand, because we do not have an electric winch and I had to steer not hard but scary for me the truck onto the trailer. By the time Shannon got off work the only thing left was to do was chain the truck down and come home.
We ate supper at 8:00 that evening. Long day, but not as long as if she still lived in Denver.

What a pain! Glad everything worked out well.

A little too much excitement, huh. I bet you all were ready for dinner when you did finally get home. Happy New Year to you all.

It’s great that you were close enough to give her a helping hand. Breakdowns are simply miserable! Hope it’s not an major repair and that all works out ok.

Isn’t it funny how sometimes those “wrenches in the works” turn into sweet memories after all is said and done? Those are the things that “stick”. I’m glad for your sake it wasn’t Denver!

I’m glad she is okay. That’s the most important thing and yes, Denver would have been terrible!
