hey guys,
i am multi posting this since its a last minute semi emergency.

original note:

my buddy tree(glasstree) is on a plane and expecting me to pick him up at the pitts airport around 4:30-5:00 p.m. today.
i have had the worse luck for the past several weeks and it seems today is no exception.
i am using my wifes car for the trip and in turn she is using my truck. well last night/this morning on her way home from work the truck took a shit on her. its a solanoid in the transmission as i have had this before. i have to get a friend of mine over here to help me replace the part. its a bitch to get too.

i cant leave her without a vehicle and dont think i will get this fixed until this afternoon at best. then i have a 9 hour drive from tennessee.

i havent even talked to tree because he is on a plane (i did leave him this dreaded message) but if anyone is going to be in the pitts airport area and has room for one more and a tote. he and i will for sure be in your debt.

i feel terrible leaving my boy hangin like this, but i am in a pinch to say the least. i cant leave my wife without a vehicle so i am in the rock and hard place.

call me at 865-719-0299 and i will call tree or give you his number so we can make arrangements.

even if you are coming through an hour or two later, it would be greatly appreciated.

i hope its not too late to get this to work.

thanks,

Lay over in Phoenix. Just saw the post. Uh oh. So can anyone help me out. *Phoenix(PHX) to Pittsburgh(PIT) 08/08/10 8:57 AM - 4:04 PM US Airways 632. 404 pm today I'll be stranded at the airport. My number is 2063673966. I'm about to get back on the plane so I probably won't know what's going on until I'm at the airport in pitsburg.

Damn man. That is some rotten luck. It's totally going to work out in the end though, and you'll all have a great story to tell.

Good luck to both of you, and just remember, it's an adventure.

alright, i finally got that fuckin solenoid out and replaced. they truck works like a champ again.
it is 2:40 p.m. and i am just now getting to go wash a body full of grease and grime off.
i am bumping this because even if i could leave in the next half hour i will not get there until midnight.
there has to be someone going through the pitts area this evening that can stop by airport?
i sure hope murphy is through with me for a while. i have had about all i can take of his sorry self.

later,

Well, let's hear the story at least.

I've been in both parties' situations various times, and the resolution story will probably let us have that sigh of relief we need after reading the original post.
