Intro to the blogpost explaining what happened on my way to Taos...

Yesterday was a bit rough. I woke up at 5am and hit up the local McDonalds to grab a coffee (Craig, Dunkin’ Donuts is way better) and finalize the school bus video for my friend who’s selling it. I opened up my computer to find my screen was broken…not awesome considering I spent $700 having a replacement screen installed on my MacBook Pro six months ago. On to my service appt at the local truck repair shop. I originally thought my truck repairs would just be a quick $200 brake job but quickly turned into $950 worth of expenses. My truck was in the shop for 7 hours and once in my possession I couldn’t wait to get my extended vacation started. I pull over at a gas station outside of town to fill up and thought I’d check the work I had performed. To my complete disappointment I found one of the boots installed on my rack and pinion was completely mangled. I’d have to drive back into town and have the shop make the corrections…on a scale of 1 to 10 being annoyed, I’d say I was sitting at a solid 4.
