The Wong Winding Woad-Adventures of The Chinese Cowboy

  I got up at 5 and took a shower then texted him to see if he wanted to get some coffee. He said yea sure give me a few. I didn’t realize that the baby was up til 3. But luckily Jess was up with her. 5 hours that’s all you need for sleep? I told him on this trip sleep is a luxury, but I wasn’t even tired. I walked outside to find the truck with rain drops on it. First time this trip that I had rain. There was some over night mist a few times but not big drops. First we tried Dunkin Donuts but that line was longer than a Starbucks here in Ca during rush hour. So off to Starbucks we went and said nope to that as well, so we went where we should have gone in the first place a Mom and Pop donut shop. As we were turning in Kyle’s door popped open right after he was making fun of the truck and how it turns. I looked at him and said you don’t have to over exaggerate my turning ya ass. The face he made told me he didn’t do it on purpose or that he even did it at all. I asked did you shut it a

  I slept in until 8 and got on the road. I was mad once I found out I lost my YETI cup that Baez had gotten me a week earlier for my birthday!!   Breakfast was granola bars and hot drinks nothing great so I just got some hot coffee and left. I had some things I needed to get. So first things first I decided to get some keys cut because I had no spares. Luckily there was a guy about 5 miles away and he was able to cut me 4 of them. Cheaper than back in CA. They worked great. I also got a true hide a key for the truck instead of just a magnet. After that I found a Bass Pro to get a new YETI cup. Luckily it was on the way out of town, but it was kind of down town. A weird spot for sure. I wanted to see the OKC bomb site and pay some respects but the traffic was really bad and I needed to get to Missouri so I had to forgo that. Next time I will try and make it as Uncle Ralph said it was really moving. Todays planned trip is to make it to Kyle’s house who is about 40 miles from St. Louis

  I woke up at 8 and most everybody was gone, Dawn said it was a early morning for most people. I called Napa and they did not have a starter. They checked all of New Mexico and didn’t have one in Santa Fe or Albuquerque they might have it in Amarillo. I asked them how much for a jump box and he said 350. 350$$$ I said can I return it he said no. I said thanks but no thanks. I then called Bozo’s and he said he could do it if he could get parts but wasn’t sure if he could get parts. He suggested I go to Amarillo. I was on the forums for Garage Journal and 67—72 Chevy trucks and it was a flip for going back to Albuquerque or go to Amarillo so Amarillo it is. I called around Amarillo and the guy people led me too was a place Called Chauncy’s he said he could do it, and Napa didn’t know what the Hell they were talking about. He didn’t give me a price but the way he talked and sounded I figure he was a cool dude. I bought some shirts and filled up my yeti cup with coffee which is awesome
