Bumblebee is running

I got Reid to cover me at the fire department tonight so I could go to the coroners meeting tonight. He is taking the whole night so I don’t need to worry about it.

I stopped at Schuck’s Auto Parts today and got a battery for my Toyota and the lawn mower. I got them both installed. I did a little bit of mowing of the sides of the driveway and I got the battery installed in the Toyota before I had to get to the meeting. I was actually a few minutes late.

We covered the case I had up in Tekoa with the premature birth of the baby. We also got our call coverage taken care of. We made the ID cards for everyone. I went home and watched House and then I took my Toyota for a drive. I went to the store and got some pop and stopped at the jail. I washed the truck and went into the control room. I did a round to help them out a little bit and stuck around until midnight.

I wanted to get the truck out on the highway a little bit so I went North towards Steptoe. Then I turned around a few miles outside of town. About three miles outside of town my highlights went out. My CB also stopped working. So I checked the fuses as best I could without any flashlight. I used the backlighting from my cell phone. With the moon as bright as it was I just went back into town carefully using the moon light. If I saw a car’s headlights I would pull over and wait until they were out of sight. When I got into town I took a turn and took back roads home. I did not want to get pulled over because I had no insurance, no current tabs on the truck, and no headlights. Once I got onto Mill Street I went by the SO, the Colfax PD, and the WSP office. I had to weave back and forth across Main Street for a while. Finally I had to make a run on Main for a little way. I did it without a problem.

I took the back road into the house and parked the truck. I am upset the lights went out and now I need to figure out why, but until then I had to get to bed because I have to get to Seattle in the morning.
