Oh, no, Laura. Coping and getting some rest~ma to you and your DH. And those young men.
Also, finding reputable mechanic easily, far from home ~ma.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Oh man, Laura. Much figuring it out and calm ~ma.

Our wings are not tired.
It sounds like he is going to have it towed home. (170 miles!) He got the syphon going then the pump fell in to the tank or some such thing. Diesel all over him. No solution. I tried to talk him into going to a hotel and getting a shower and dealing with it in the morning. But he is going to do what he is going to do. This is going to be a costly mess. I'm going to try and get some sleep since my suggestions don't seem to help any. He seems to think that Orlando doesn't have any repair places open on Sunday. If he had it home, where he can see properly, with his tools, blah blah.

“Not dead yet!”
In other words, he's being a man. (No offense to our Buffista men.)

Totally. I'm sure having all the team with him doesn't help either. My suggestions on top of a dozen 17yo opinions are likely overload for him.

Plus, he is used to be able to fix things. Those of us that don't always fix things find it easier to ask for help.

“Not dead yet!”
Yeah, late at night, unfamiliar setting, plus adolescent suggestions are not so great as mixy things.

Exhaustion and overload make you do the wacky.
