From the start things were pretty rushed. I got out of bed and decided to check my email and what not. I got to talk to a good friend for a bout 5 or 10 minutes then my grandpa started rushing me to get ready so we can go. After a quick shower we were out the door.

With the truck acting up we didn't want to take it out to the coast so we took my grandpas car instead. We visited a restaurant owned by some people we used to go to church with. You could just pull off the highway to drop in and eat, but about a year or so ago for some reason a barricade was put in place. The only way to access the place now is to turn onto an overpass before you even see the place. Where a good majority of their business was to tourists who don't know the layout to the area this has significantly cut their business. I have no idea why the highway department did this. There is no practical purpose to it.

Anyway after lunch we went out to the coast to visit a friend of the family. We didn't call ahead and we didn't even get her trailer number so we didn't have an exact location. After going to the wrong trailer twice we found the place and naturally she wasn't even home. We hung around for about an hour and she didn't show up so we came back.

When we got back we decided to try troubleshooting the truck a little. The problem didn't arise until after we gassed up the truck and switched fuel tanks so we switched tanks again and the problem disappeared. The problem is somehow related to the front fuel tank. Anyway after that we got some groceries and I made steak & cheese sandwiches for dinner.
