Made a small shopping trip south in the AM, then went to visit Diamond Dave and Pepper. All the dogs had fun, and played in the mud puddles while humans stuck their heads under various autos' hoods.
Then headed up farther north to look at a new friend's broken-down Subaru. It's hard to be out here in the desert without a vehicle, so we wanted to help as much as possible. Unfortunately we had to give our friend some bad news about the timing belt jumping a tooth or two.
We headed home at dusk, but made the mistake of trying the back road. Thanks to the recent rain, the road is a mud pit. We made it about a mile or so while the road was dry, but hit the first mud patch and got stuck fifty feet in.
After some hooting and hollering, we hoofed it back to a customer's house and made a distress call to our good friend Terry. In typical chivalric style, he came and got us and brought us back home.
We're headed out now to try and yank the old girl out of the mud and back onto dry land. Bringing the backup camera, so we'll post photos of our embarrassing episode soon.
