The $3k pea hen :roll: :?
DH's gpa has one remaining peacock that is possibly 30 years old or more... I have been trying to find him a mate off and on for years, but oh my the $$$!
Drove 2 hours to pick her up! (Only $45, technically
). She is about 3 years old and free range, surviving coyotes and owls - which is exactly the case for the male we got her for! My biggest hesitation getting him a mate was her survival (especially as much as most people charge for them!)
Suburban stalled at the stoplight taking the lady's exit. Hmmmm... I have had issues in the past if it running out of gas randomly (gauge is off) but I was still showing over 1/4 of a tank! Had issues the whole way home... sputtering and jerking if I had to slow down. I milked it all the way home, coasting up to red lights in hopes I wouldnt have to fully stop. Made it all the way back to town and it went kaput. Sputter, jerk, revvvvvvv! Craaap. Restarted twice and made it of of thye mainhwy into a parking lot. Towed it to the shop expecting it to be bad gas or a clogged filter (270k miles on it, has always had a tendency to gum up and I had just used fuel treatment a few days prior). General consensus was a fuel pump would have left me stranded in Raleigh, they don't give you warning. Wrong! Fuel pump AND transmission. I was supposed to be towing a trailer on our move to WV next week! DH had prayed for a bubble of protection over us that morning and God provided. Timing stinks since financially we have 2 house payments, just paid DH's tuition, just put down new flooring, moving in 7 days... BUT it happened before we hit 81 with a trailer load of stuff and I also somehow miraculously made it home (myself and 4children).
