    Thursday night I cut off the Country Squire and it wouldn't start back up. I'm hoping it's something simple. Please pray for me that it's something simple.:162:

    You guys are funny. Turns out it was the starter. Almost $300 in the hole and all is well again. :bowdown:

    starter woes

    I know from where you are coming....my starter is in the 'rrr-rrr-rrr-catch' stages. It has always started for me so far but my neighbors sure think it's funny that I start my car with my head bowed over the steering wheel in silent prayer. :bowdown:

    Still, it has taught my 16 yo daughter how to baby a starter. Even she can start it now.

    Hopefully my husband will have time soon to scrounge one up and put it on for me. Now he's busy building a deck around our little pool from scrounged lumber.

    We like to make do with whatever we can find laying around.

    I know you can save a lot doing automotive work yourself, but I didn't even know what was wrong with it. The auto shop figured it out and fixed it. I'm just happy to be rolling again. :rofl:
