First we have Jess’ car for the last several weeks as she was having some starting issues in Philadelphia before her return trip to Pensacola. We have run this car every way we could have imagined bu
t there have been
zero issues until now. One of those “God things” that we drove straight
from home to the hotel with no stops which is very unusual for us.
Once we were given our room we got back into the car to park closer to
our room and the car was doing the same thing that Jess had told us
about – It would not start. So we decided to let it sit for 30 minutes
as she had done to get it to restart, took our luggage and walked over
to our room.
They are doing some maintenance on some of the rooms and the room we were given was for lack of a better word “disassembled”. There was a chair that was available so we parked Kenny as I walked back to the office to get another room. The clerk was very apologetic and gave me another room key. Before I move Kenny and Jo I checked the room and <Shocked expression here> it was also disassembled. Back to the office I went. Really I was starting to laugh at this point. I had great compassion on the clerk as he looked back up to see me walking back in. So before he handed me key #3 he wanted to let me know that he was going to check on the room before handing me the key. He was apologizing the entire time. So a couple of minutes passed and as he was walking back to the counter after checking on #3, I could tell that he looked a little worried. I guess room #3 had not had the maid thru it yet. Room #4 was the winner!
By this time 30 minutes had passed and the car would still not start. Luckily there is a Wendy’s (Kenny’s usual choice) next to the property so we were able to walk over for dinner. After dinner and an additional 58 minutes of letting the car sit – SUCCESS! The car started. *** Mike Fields alert – you have a car coming over to you for repair in a couple of days ***. I took the car over, filled the tank while it was still running got back over to the hotel. I was able to restart the car without any problem so yes this is still an intermittent issue.
I personally think that Jess’ car is attached to me and knows that she is coming back next weekend to swap cars. Just goes to show everyone that God does have a sense of humor. We are going to be calling it a very early night tonight. We will be at the hospital very early but Kenny will not be in surgery until mid-morning. I will post once he goes to recovery and we are able to see him. This is going to be a very long surgical procedure.
