So the race against time had begun. He had little knowledge and a lot of problems, but morale was still at an all time high, on Broadway st. in Saskatoon.
So at 8 or 9 I begun disassembling some drum brakes, and man oh man, was that ever fun!
and it was raining, so the guys were taking shifts holding a tarp over the half of my body that wasn't under the van all day. We made our own little third world, shanty repair area, which would have been alright if it weren't for all the broken glass in the dirt that we called a garage.
Bigg Bigg thanks to our good friend Nick McDubby,(http://inthedubofthenight.blogspot.com/) without whom our adventure would have been much less pleasant.
So jumping forward 10 or 12 hours, the problems that were happening before our mediocre repair session were still evident and it was clear that we were not going to make our gig in Winnipeg.
So the next day we went van shopping.
and we found the nicest used, 2005 GMC Savanna 15 passenger, full ton, drive our hippy personal across the country and live to talk about it, Van ever! Its not as comfy as our rolling living room, which we parted with for $60 in a parking lot to some greasy tow truck auto wrecker dude, But it makes up for it with reliability....
Right?
