Change of Plans

You know what they say, "the best laid plans of mice and (wo)men." I had two unprecedented days off in a row, the first since December, and was hoping to drive to the campground, set a tent and lay back in my camp chair with a good book. Had the tents, the sustenance, the books--only thing missing was the car. Is it fact overheating? And what is that crazy thunk when I turn left? So I am enjoying my fine day offs at home, while the car is being checked out at the shop. Sigh...
