Look at you the mechanic. I think looking under the floormat was genius. You never know.

Sunday was awesome but not near enough time to see the folks I didn't get to see on Sat. nite. Spent Sunday night in Trandy's tent(they got a motel,it was just me in the tent)no good rumors out of me this year, and didn't get anybody lost ,that I know of.Woke up about six this morning ,went over and said good bye to Teresa and Terry and Julie and Shirley and two new bussers ans busett,They bought Michael Everett's bus(not Smokey). Nice couple. Headed out in an awesome overcast sky with a touch of mist . Truck ran great all the way down and fine till Bertram which is the home of the Oat meal festival.and about 10 miles from Georgetown. on hi way 29. I was going to stop at a nursery there to pick up some plants.Bertram is real small , one traffic light.I went to slow down the truck was still doing 60 mph, even with my foot off the separator. I broke the speed down a little but it was a wild ride in traffic. When I got out of town I let it run at 60.I got it to a road side park and checked it out . I looked in the engine compartment and couldn't really see anything I flipped the carb linkage and it was sluggish ,but still couldn't tell what was up. I took the floor mat out and that still didn't help.Looked in the engine compartment again and the return spring that had broken jumped out me like 3-d.I crimped the spring and I was on my way to Taylor to eat the beat BBQ in the world , Headed up st.95 for an uneventful cruise home .Can hardly wait to do it again.
