A thousand miles and two tie rod ends later

There is nothing worse than getting ready for a long trip 70 miles down a dirt road that you all ready drove 160 to get to only to find out that you have a passenger side tie-rod end that is shot. For all the lay people out there that is the part of the car that basically steers the tire. Not a good thing to break. Long story short I made it to my destination and all the way back home safety. It is amazing how far you can limp a car if you just go slow however after buying the part I needed to fix it I discovered that the driver's side tie rod and now broken also. Just my luck. It seems like all my cars lately are crapping out. If it isn't one thing on my truck it is another on my car. First world problems. At least I have two semi-broken running vehicles. Ah, the bright side. Seems like all my posts have been about my truck b

My Subaru finally seems to be running ok again and it is time for another marathon 1000+ mile trip this week. All the way down to Anchorage and back to Fairbanks only to turnaround and leave again on Sunday to make a trip back down to Healy to the 49th State Brewery. Good times. It seems like I just got back yesterday and I am all ready leaving...well I think that is actually what is happening.

Wednesday - Subzero Micro lounge - 8pm - Anchorage
