I am waiting alongside a noisy highway near Benton AR for a truck that can pick up Chaumière 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.
