Stall Unstall


That was quite the weekend. We were in Ancaster for a business convention, and stayed behind until about midnight to help pack things up. By the time we went out to the car, it was just past midnight. Turned the key, and nothing happened! The family van has stalled! We called a few friends, and a couple of them even drove back to help us out... we tried boosting the battery, and every other trick we could think of.

So we ended up having to stay in a hotel in Hamilton overnight, after driving for another hour to find a free hotel... since all the ones in the area were booked solid with the Canadian Open golf tournament.

Woke up, and took a taxi out to the car. We sat in there praying that God would look after us... turned the key... and it started!

We then proceeded with rushing home while the engine held out, and arrived back in Ottawa around 4ish pm.
