The School of Life with Horses

A blog covering my journey with my quarter horses and paint horse. Horse show news from the Pacific Northwest, to do lists, horse tips as I learn and share them, my struggles and solutions - basically everything horse as I come across it.

The Ford Lives!

 Wednesday, May 13, 2009

Just a quickie - my truck is running.

On Sunday evening me and hubby were both convince the problem was in the torque converter (part of your automatic transmission) and we were prepared on Monday evening to take it - pull it if needed, down to a friend's shop to have it torn apart and tested. But while I was at work Hubby had a thought and stepped outside and pulled the battery - waited 10 seconds (whenever he re-starts his computer I tell him to wait 10 seconds, although you don't really need to do that with an auto-computer he did it anyway) then hooked it back up and started my truck.

It runs perfectly. YAY!

So do I think all my problems are solved? No, but it is working for now - the other usually symptoms of a worn transmission on the verge of dying just were not there, the truck wasn't blowing a code - the fluid looked great - he just wasn't buying the torque converter theory. So for now I will take it. I need a truck that runs and that can pull my horse trailer - so until next time I think I am good - this time God said "Fine Steph, there you go! Your truck is fixed and it didn't cost you anything." To that I say a whole hearten THANK YOU!

I know there are much more worthy things to pray about but I am only human...

Very busy this week - so sorry for the short update. But I do have to mention this:

I am so freaking excited that they are running RACHEL ALEXANDRA in the Preakness!!!

Hey, does this look familiar to anyone??? It should....

I am also praying that she makes it to the finish line safely - guess who Calvin Borel choose to ride - given the choice between the filly and colt Kentucky Derby Winner Mine That Bird - you guessed it - he's riding the filly!

It's this weekend right? Grab a seat girls with any luck we'll see history in the making. All I have heard about this filly is whisperings of Ruffian and Secretariat - so we'll see huh?

About inclined2ride

Live up in Northeastern Washington State - where its cold and we have snow for a loooooong time. Been riding horses since before I could walk - grew up doing the 4-H / FFA thing, and a lot of Open shows. Was educated in Western riding as well as English riding and Jumping. Survived college on Top Roman so that I could keep my horse up there with me. Am now all grown-up with a non-horse husband, and 3 horses to boot (technically 2 horses). I currently show on the local and regional Quarter Horse Circuit with a Paint Show thrown in when I can. Horses are as much a part of me as my arms or legs.
