How Entertaining

Well this was the most interesting weekend, er, Easter I've had in a long while. 

It began with our RV needing some repairs from a man, I forget his name, lets call him Larry. That take over a week. He does the repairs to the engine and says its good to go.

So me being yelled at to get out of bed, put on my shoe's, get in the RV and go back to sleep. I rellize now that I should've just slept in the damn RV to begin with and just cut out the middle man and enjoy some extra blissful hours of sleep on my way to Georgia... or so I thought.

The trip started out normal, bitching from my dad at the driver wheel and mum pestering about stupid stuff for no real reason. We make to the gas station to put $70 of gas in the thing to help us on our trip. Ya gotta love gas prices by the way. Anyway, mum starts on about something about a strange smell. At this point of the game, she's nagged me to the point where Im not even listening to her anymore and roll over to try and go back to sleep. Dad comes back, reports the same thing of a strange smell.

We have decided to take our two shit for brain dogs with us on this trip. So immediatly I cast the blame on them. We leave the gas station and head down the road. Getting about say six miles until some strange lady in a tiny car speeds up next to us, blaring her horn, pointing at the RV, and yelling get off the road. Thinking theres something wrong with it. We pull over and, mum and dad go to inspect the damages, I try to sleep some more.

Mum comes back and reports there a light smoke. This catch's my attention a little and figure sleep isnt happening. So as mum reached for the phone to call the guy , Larry, as I get up and um reach's for the phone. The engine decide's to explode,  shaking the entire RV, and nearly knocking on my ass and mum face first into the dash board. Were then next greeted by a black cloud of smoke that erupts from the hood and blocks out the windshield, also making its way in to the RV. My mum then has the nerve to say, "I think the engine is on fire".

She quickly jumps out, checks, and starts screamig to get out with the dogs. Now I am aware how quickly car fires can spread. But what she doesnt know, is that she had to place both dogs in the same cage and round its weight around 200 lbs with no real way to get a good hold on it. Speed, is out of the question. So I do the next best thing. Give dad a fire extinguisher, which I quickly find out is empty... Im curious on how this has happened.

Luckily, we had a second and that one wasnt a prop item apparently and actually worked and the flame didnt turn out to be the big at all. Anyway, we put out the flame and are now sitting on the side of the road, me, mum, dad, and the dogs. Waiting on Larry. What shows up however is the county Fire Departmet. Nice to have when the fire was actually around. But hey, with them here ad giving the engine a quick expections so we wont run into any more fire related problems doesnt hurt either.

Next a sheriff shows up, I understand this as they're suppose to follow them to calls most of the time. Then a second sheriff makes his apperance on the scene. Okay, sure, more help is great. Then a state trooper shows up. At this point Im starting to wonder if were going to have a ambulance show up as well, it doesnt. What does happen though, is that the people diving by  who really had no interests in us before. Have decided to slow down and check it out so much that the traffic that is jammed up for about six miles in one direction.

Anyway, after about 30 minutes and our helpers, who tern out to be very nice people. Leave ad traffic starts moving regulary again. About 15 minutes later, Larry hasnt shown up yet, but our hopes get up when another person drives. However, we were expecting a tow truck and what we get is a small blue car. So the scene automoticaly becomes strange.

The man gets out and out of the blue ask's us for money and at first didnt look he was going to take no for a answer. So the irony is great is, that in less then 30 minutes after all the sherrif's and fire fighters have left, we get robbed on the side of the rode. But, luck was on our side as less then a mile down te road. There was yet another car accident with a sheriff attending.

Guessing he didnt wish to risk it. He got back in his car and took off. Larry showed up about 30 minutes later with a tow truck and we were quickly towed... to a Walmart parking lot. Were we spent about 2 hours. Until a rental car was brought to us and went back home.

No less in thirty minutes. Dad decides to call the people to pick up the rental car and declares we are still going to Georgia. So not only did I have to endure all of what has happen already. But also have to sped a multi hour ride, being jammed into the back of a cramped truck to Georgia.

In the end, it was a extreamly long, interesting, and hard day.
