Hold Onto Your Hat, Sit Down, Take A Deep Breath, And Have The Smelling Salts Handy

T-Hoe is going into the shop tomorrow!

Actually, it's TODAY, as you read this. Farmer H is meeting me in town after I get my 44 oz Diet Coke, and we're leaving T-Hoe with Mick the Mechanic. I'd like to say that my loving husband is concerned about me driving a vehicle that has some major malfunctions. I'd like to think that the most recent spate of DING DING DING red-light warnings about BRAKES has made him worry about my safety. However, we're talking about the same guy I'm pretty sure is trying to kill me. I think he might be worried that T-Hoe will break down, and I'll have to call him away from his Storage Unit Store to rescue me.

That's where he'll be all morning, you know. At the Storage Units, shooting the bull with his buddy the owner. His excuse is that he'll be right there close after I pick up my magical elixir. It's only about a half mile from there to Mick's shop. Oh, and Farmer H commanded me to make a list of what's wrong with T-Hoe. You know, because he can't be bothered to listen to me, and tell Mick. I'm sure we won't be getting everything fixed. Even though hefty repair costs would still be cheaper than buying a new vehicle.

I figure I should type up all the things that go wrong, because one might be a clue to another, and lessen the number of systems that will be taken apart, looking for the problem. I'll start my list here, and copy and paste for Farmer H and Mick.

Alarm bell goes off several times on the 5-mile trip to town. After parking and getting out, the warning lights are off, and the alarm doesn't come on.

Since a couple months before this happened, steering feels like in 4WD when turning sharply

Sooo...Mick the Mechanic can probably make a month's income off of T-Hoe, depending on what Farmer H tells him to actually fix. I am not terribly optimistic, but for sure I want the brake situation remedied.

It seems to me that T-Hoe has some kind of electrical problem affecting the radio and the door panel control buttons for the seat heater and side mirrors. Then again, I'm not a mechanic.

T-Hoe will spend two days and a night at Mick's shop. Hopefully not more. Farmer H is taking me to a casino on Wednesday, so I won't even miss my untrusty ride.
