Andy, My ancient volvo was pressed into two round trip trips up the coast to recover a nephew I had just droped off, followed by a trip to the upper desert of Edwards AFB and Space Shuttle fame for a family death. That was an easy 500 miles. I had to take off again to feed horses ( late allready and no phone to use) and lost a wheel in the middle of nowhere ( improperly refitted bearing on my new tire set). I finally got towed into town, everything closed and .03 in my pocket and a rapidly maxing C/C. Repaired car in A.M. after sleeping in it and dining on Mainstay rations and water. Went to the ranch ASAP and was told to vacate my horses in 5 days. ( after he swore, hit me with a rake and nearly had a stroke). I have to go up there in an hour, with a sherrif present and move 4 horses,tack etc. There are days, and then there are days :O(
