Default why me

i have been planning this turkey hunting trip for a while....whent to wally world yesterday and got my supplies...i loaded up my bed rolls and hunting gear last night...finished loading up my guns and ammo and food this morning.. was to pick up a friend at 1.00 oclock all went well we stoped and got a tank of gas and had been on the road for about a1 1/2 hrs when the truck started bucking and jumping went dead and so happened i actually coasted into a auto parts store...looked the truck over good and studied the situation over....cranked the truck up it ran fine we decided it must have been some warer in the gas we just bought...wrong a 30 minutes later we were having the same problems....decided to turn around and try to get as far toward home as we could get...well top speed was 35 mph it was 3.30 on a friday evening you can imagine all the bad looks the people gave me when they got a chance to pass me...i had a big semi behind me i pulled over oo the shoulder of the road to let him by me but all most got hit in the rear doing so....last time i pulled over to let any body by... my trip the rest of the way home was between the speeds of 10 to 35 mph with one exception we knocked it out of gear on a small hill and got up tp 45 mph...boy was we moving...that was the only real hill we had the whole journey. the rest of the road was about like driving in kansas ...country was flat...well after driving for about 7 hrs i finally made it home.... after letting the truck rest for about 2 hrs i went out there and crancked the little truck thats all it needed was a little rest it was running as fine as frog hair...but it looks like ive got a little wrench work to do monday...i sure would hate to make that trip again and old nellybell act up again...this will be a turkey hunting trip i will long remember...i will go hunting in the morning but it want be were i wanted to go.... charlie
