Service Adventures- Sometimes you just have to make due
Today was an adventure in service. After picking up two people from a car that broke down we headed up to do some mapping territory. However as we were driving, our throttle cable kept getting stuck. After realizing it couldn't be fixed and needing to drive 20 minutes to the nearest mechanic, Brian got creative and realized that he could tie his shoelace to the throttle and control the gas with his hand. So off we went to Nicoya to get it fixed. We were able to do some calls in Nicoya so it wasn't a ruined day of service.
Our new car (this one with way better gas mileage) has official earned the name "Jimmy", due to the fact it had to be jimmy rigged to make it to Nicoya. And they didn't have the part we needed in stock so the mechanic jimmy rigged it with a bicycle break cable as our throttle cable until it could be fixed correctly.
Let the service adventures begin!!!!

ReplyDeleteSeriously though, It's nice to see that you are smiling through these types of adventures. Some people would just be whining! We hope you continue to have awesome adventures.
