From the land of the Bluenose.....little did I know what the day had in store for me!Lord love a duck! First off could not recall where I hid two of Marie's presents. Not too bad. Took Otto out for a run and ended up at the library to get a few movies and then a quick dig. No problem. Stopped at a playing field and got out of the car and heard a fairly loud hiss. Otto's drivers side front tire had picked up a friend.

So much for my dig and I headed to Star Tire where Otto's injured rubber was plugged. Out $25. No problem. Figured since I was in the area I'd make an appointment for the rattle in Otto's front end. Well me bouy once I started up from the red light I heard a bang and got one hell of a jolt. Something terrible had happened and Otto could not move. A fellow motorist stopped and showed me the problem. The under frame had broken and the wheel was laying against the rim.

2 points for foggy window on the photo scavenger hunt....look hard!
Tow truck came and off to Corbin's minus $65 for the tow. No problem.
At Corbin's got a first hand look at Otto's underbelly....not pretty. Repair cost $1200.................big problem. Luckily the week before we had received our court ordered back time from our employer. That repair will put a big dent in it!
Walked home with detector in hand and greeted Marie with the news. God love that girl as all she said was that I looked like I needed to go for a dig and gave me Donna Marie for the afternoon.
Had a feeling and returned to the playing field and scoffed a few coins and a chain (might be white metal but not attracted to a magnet) till Mr. Bum Knee said it was time to go.
