Matt,
Sorry for your problem. You're 350 miles from me. The best I can do is to offer you my spare backing plate. Let me know if you can use it and where to ship it.

I am waiting alongside a noisy highway near Benton AR for a truck that can pick up Chaumi?re and take her some place that can help me deal with a
missing wheel. RR Tire, wheel, drum and hub are all AWOL.
Mary was on the phone with AAA while Erick and I searched for the missing part(s). They sent someone out to do a tire change. (Would you care to
guess just how angry Mary was???)
That was yesterday afternoon. After we both talked to different people at great length, they promised to have a truck here 8AM this morning. They
called this morning to say between 9 and 11. The operator called and we talked, all he could do was lift the front..... (Was Anybody Actually
Listening?)
AAA has called to say that they are working on getting something. I told the guy that a rollback capable of 10K and 20' could do it. Maybe they
don't have those here.
It looks like we will be here a few days, so Mary is going to rent a car and maybe we will go wheel hunting again.
There are three Assist List members in Arkansas, One doesn't answer the phone (sent e-mail too) that other said that they are too far away and don't
know the area that I am stuck and the third is farther still and I haven't bothered.
The Kids???
Oh Yeah, 500$ to rent an Enterprise car to go home PLUS FUEL. The train has to go by way of Chicago and that leaves Little
Rock at 11PM.
The Arkansas State Police have been the most help.
Tom Pryor is planning to put together a repair kit, but he can't ship it until I find out where the coach might end up. I do have a spare wheel and
tire.
I'll keep you informed as things progress.

Tom,
You are part of what makes this such a great community.
I appreciate the offer, but I am pretty sure that we have this covered.
