Mr. Persistent

So everyone knows the saying "when it rains it pours."  Well, it's been pouring rain.  Tyler went to start his car after lunch last week and it wouldn't start.  Being the Mr. fix-it that he is, he purchased a new battery pretty positive that that was the problem.  Well....no.  Battery was fine. Luckily after screaming at the employees, they returned the battery that he just purchased even though sales are final with things like that.  Determined to find the problem, he spent 2 hours taking the starter out of the car to get that tested.  Very positive that was the problem.  Well... no again.  After getting it tested at Checker we were told his starter was just fine!  Grrrrrr.  Fried at this point he gave up and decided to call the good old insurance to make sure we had towing so we could tow it to a mechanic.  Of course NOT!  We pay an arm and a leg for NO TOWING! He refused to pay to get it towed!  After tracking down a very kind neighbor mechanic of his Dad's, he was positive it was a $4 fix.  Off to checker again.  Guess what!!!  His car is officially up and running! I'm so thankful for my persistent and cheap husband and for awesome mechanics who are kind enough to make house calls!  Now can I go to California for my vacation and get away from the drama life brings?!
