Made a 50 mile run to pick up stuff for a safety meeting. @ 4 miles from house van quit. Tried to start but would quit rite away. Called tow truck, while waiting I got underneath. Fuel pump was running but I hit bottom of tank anyway and pump changed noise. Van started rite up. Started home and on one curve the Gull-wing opened and I lost my wheelchair. It's in pieces. Somebody stopped and helped me load it back up. I'll see @ fixing it tomorrow at daybreak, to damn hot out now. Fuel pump is a week from being a year old.
Now is time for Safety meeting and a Bud.

It cooled down to 83 so I went out and looked . only major damage is 1 battery terminal busted off and reparable damage to the seat. head rest is wasted.all battery wires torn off. Fingers crossed on no internal control damage.

When Chris Farley talked about living in a van down by the river, did anybody else think that wasn't such a bad idea?

Now the ?, do I change the fuel pump or wait and see if it messes up again. I replaced it last July.
