Heck Part 3 - The Finale

I am happy to report that all is well once again in the Wheeler household.
Why?

Because despite the odds, my hybrid auto is fixed.
And without leaving Wonderland.

All because of a very kind and quick-thinking off-island tow truck guy who dared asked the real question to my hybrid auto woes: "What seems to be going on?"

Listening carefully, he surmised that the problem was most likely a dead battery attached to the gas engine of the car.

So in the end, no towing, no pushing, no pulling, no drifting down the boat ramp without a motor or tow to the dealership was needed.

It took a trip to the local service station, and we simply had the battery released of its misery and replaced.

All hail one very smart tow truck operator!

As for the rest, the house got cleaned, the freelance appt. kept, the food prepared and the 50th birthday party for Uncle John was a rave success.

Just call me Superwoman.



Have a good one. :)

Hot Off the Presses: Derby Doings

Hubby reminded me (as men do when there is fishing involved) that I promised regular reporting on this subject. And, you can't let your man down, now can you?

It is day 21 of the Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass Fishing Derby. I can report that family members have "made the board," placed in the "dailies" and will, with confidence, continue to until the last day of fishing - October 15.

Let's see, we have:

                                        Checking out fishing spots - Lucy Vincent Beach
                                                         (from family member Julie Megan)

First catches by cousins

and first weigh-ins by cousins and "making the board"

                                                 Family competition heating up!

            Andy, Jenna and Neela going to weigh-in and "making the board"

                                                          Getting a daily Second Place!

And

                                                       What's For Dinner?

Ahhh.

Buy local, eat fish and have a good one. :)
