Truck Update

Contrary to popular belief, our truck is not about to explode, incontroverting passers-by with automotive shrapnel and making me look really silly sitting in the middle of the highway, amidst the wreckage, clutching the steering wheel, as is called for by comic convention.

In the words of our trusted mechanic: "Those guys are crooks. None of that work needed to be done."

He's fixing the clutch, which I know through use isn't working. He's also going to pack the truck's bearings, as they need to be packed, But the other dire emergencies the first mechanic saw do not exist, at least to his worldview.
