It’s Memorial Day weekend.

And I’m tied to the apartment.

My car overheated in traffic yesterday before work. I had it towed to Sears auto. They checked it out and couldn’t find anything wrong with it. Funny, considering there was radiator fluid all over the engine compartment. they said where ever it’s leaking, it isn’t in any of the hoses.
I was able to drive it to work (with a coworker driving right behind me) and nothing happened. But driving home it lost all it’s coolant and overheated again. I had to stop to let the engine cool so I could drive it the 2 minutes left to get down the block, in the gate and to my parking space.

I just had the water pump replaced a couple of months ago. I don’t think it’s that.

Whatever it is, Sears cant’ find it and all they work on is hoses. So on Monday I’ll have to pray that a) I can find a shop that’s actually open and b) it won’t blow out my bank account to get fixed. Time to replace the Beemer.

I was just thinking a couple of weeks ago, I have a job, a functioning car, weekends off… I can take off for a weekend any time I want. Go camping, go visit another city, whatever. And now I’m tied down to the apartment because my car doesn’t work. I won’t even be able to go to my co-workers house warming party tomorrow.
