Well, i hate to post bad news, but i got a phone call a couple weeks ago about my grandmas cancer taking a turn for the worst, last week her white blood count dropped to nearly nothing, so they stopped her chemo. She was in remission for 6 months, but when it came back, it went everywhere. So im going to be making my way up to Connecticut in 2 weeks. Im taking some spare parts with me in case i run into issues with the toaster, but im trying to make a pre emptive strike here to see if anyone along the way would lend a hand, IF i was to break down. Hopefully I dont. Im planning on cutting up through MO, and shooting across into ohio, its a total one way trip of 1375 miles From my door to where im heading to in CT. Just over 21 hours of driving, if i drive straight. But i doubt i can do it in one shot.

Sorry to hear that Scoobs.

If you for some reason find yourself further east, I'm in the DC area with a garage, lots of tools, and a bit of knowledge.

I'm a little west, but If you are even in my area and need anything in the Colorado/Wyoming area let me know, I will do my best to get my lazy bum out the house and help out.

Does your mom have any 'aftermarket parts' (like pig valves in her heart, or organ donor parts, etc.)? If she doesn't have any, she is a good candidate to try drinking some "Ozone" (Ozone is just 3 molecules of Oxygen) infused Water, drinking it will help with the white blood cell count and also help fight off the cancer and other infections by flooding the body with oxygen.

I have a (less expensive) Corona Discharge version that works great for making small(er) batches of Ozone water... it's yours to borrow if you and your mom want to try it

:cheers

1375 is a big chunk of real estate to cover. The most I can do in one shot is about 800 miles, roughly the distance from Kansas City to Detroit, which I did a few times. That's around 12 hours, give or take. 800 miles in one shot is really pushing it for me, I need sleep!
For me, 1375 would have to be done in at least 2 chunks each way, with at least 4 days of rest at my destination.

Swing by if you need a place to crash.

Will do, its a tad over 14 hours from me to you, i was debating on making a stop before hand, but that will just make my drivetime much longer.
