Reinhardt College Goes With The Flow

Whew. What a day.

I think we have spoiled our Suburban to be on musician-time. It protested as we were leaving the parking lot at 7:30am... Just completely shut down before we even turned onto the main drag... kind-of like my brain at 7:30am.

Luckily, we were right across the street from a GM Dealer!! We called a tow truck and he actually recommended a different Dealer... but even that one was only half a mile away! We've never broken down surrounded by GM Dealers.
So, they tried a bunch of different things, but after a couple of hours it became apparent it wasn't going to be a quick fix and we were gonna have to miss the show. We were supposed to play at 12, we were 90 minutes away, and at 11 they were JUST isolating the problem.

Amazingly enough, they were able to get all the parts in to fix it TODAY. AND even MORE amazing - the school was able to work with us and postpone the show until 7pm tonight!!!

One tiny glitch... they didn't quite get the fuel gauge connected, so our fuel gauge permanently reads "EMPTY". But we didn't have the time to let them fix that if we wanted to make it for the postponed show. So we'll just have to fill up every chance we get to make sure we don't run out of gas! :) We'll fix that later...

I can't believe the school was still able to make it work for an evening show. But they emailed all the students with the change, printed up new flyers with the new show time and even said it was the best turn out they ever had for an outdoor concert!

Can't believe the day ended up turning out so well. But we are all spent. I don't miss feeling like this. There was a lifetime of these "OH CRAP." moments with that first Suburban. When it happens now, I just count my blessings it's not every other day.

Peace. Love. Fiddle.
