Started a trip from Kingman, Arizona to St. George Utah.
Walked outside to start packing. Flat tire.
Ugh. Okay, I filled the tire.
Drive to Safeway to get cash back. Bought Pringles but no option given to get cash back.
Tried another purchase at a different station, to no avail.
Went to Chase Bank to get cash. Paid $6 to get $20. Oh boy!
Thankfully, made it to the cheap local tire shop that only takes cash. They repaired the flat and we got on the road.
I look down, and something catches my eye. The battery icon is on in my dash.
Made it not quite halfway to St. George Utah, and limped our van into an auto parts store.
Ordered an alternator that will arrive tomorrow.
I didn't plan on today's adventures in car repair, but my wife and I are fine and healthy. Thank God. The adventure is still fun.
