It’s official. I can’t keep giving my truck Tylenol and hoping for the best. After a couple of weeks of parking face-to-face just in case the truck won’t start, we’ve decided to take it in and see if people with a different skill set can make it all better.
This disturbs me, though. An acorn? Is a squirrel living in my engine? Rent-free??
Poor truck. Probably has a nut allergy.
Brad says
1. Your truck is still pretty. I think that means it will still run.
2. I’ve only seen the second Cars movie. It was surprisingly good.
3. Apparently, Germans can’t say the English word “squirrel”. I saw it on YouTube, so it must be true.
Deborah says
Interestingly enough, I have difficulty saying the German word for squirrel.

Lauren says
I see what you did there.
Gretchen says
You know, we hardly ever see squirrels in Germany. However, this weekend we were in Belgium and I saw a couple of red squirrels. Why they cannot cross the border I do not know. Must be immigration regulations.
Beth says
Would you like to watch it this afternoon? I can help make that happen.
Lauren's dad says
Perhaps cousins of the squirrels in Mark’s yard did what they did to his truck—chewed through a wiring harness and covered it with a nest of leaves?

I can tell you from experience….once you get to a certain age, some things just don’t work like they used to.
Lauren says
Lloyd’s car is 123 years old. The truck is at the shop, so I can’t check it, dang it.
Dad -- I knew that happened to someone! Thanks for the reminder that it was Mark.
Beth -- I don’t know, I kind of like not knowing the plot. Preschoolers will endlessly tell me different versions of it.
Lauren's mom says
My Subaru is only 48 years old. 🙂
