The Brat Goes West

Last night we drove east to see Justin and Ashley in Groton.  It was the wrong direction for the overall goal of heading to Utah, but it was very good for Zach and Justin to see each other again.  And it was fun to see Justin and Ashley in their cute little apartment.

We left the house at 10:00 this morning.  Our first stop of the day is at Autozone, less than a mile from Justin's house.  Yesterday Zach put an engine cleaner into the oil, something called Sea Foam, that is supposed to clean carbon deposits off the interior of the motor while driving.  Now he has to drain that stuff out, put new oil in and then we will be on our way.  The brat has a skid guard that was rusted into place and was blocking the drain plug.  Nothing is easy.  

10:58 am - oil is good
