Getting The Boot . . .
Landon’s starting off school this year with a bang. Or at least a boot.
A month or so ago he was a trampoline park and said he hurt his foot. But then didn’t say much more about it. Then the other day it was hurting again so Brandi took him to the doctor. And X-raying showed a stress fracture.
So now he has to wear the boot for a couple of months, though he can take it off to swim and bathe. I predict that as soon as he gets back to school it’s going to be covered in girl’s autographs.
Brandi did have this to say later.
“We had barely left the parking lot and he asked if I could buy him a bell so he can ring me when he needs something. I was a nice mommy and did not tell him what he could do with his bell.”

The gasket that I hope will fix my rig’s oil leak problem will be here on Monday, So I went ahead and order a new oil filter from Amazon that also should be here Monday. I was thinking about reusing the old filter since it only has about 500 miles on it, but I’m not sure about reusing the rubber gasket on it. But I decded not to take a chance.
I did tell Jan that once I do get it all changed out I’m not going to worry about doing a test drive, since the problem has never occurred on a test drive, just on a real trip. I will let it run at high-idle for 30 minutes or so to check of regular leaks.
This afternoon we headed out about 4 for dinner at Los Ramirez Mexican Restaurant once again. Then we stopped at the tire store and made an appointment to come by at 12:30 tomorrow afternoon for them to take care of my stuck lug nut problem. Then after a WalMart stop we headed home.
