What a day, running the line and blew a brake line on the truck. Had to drive 15 miles with no brakes. Switch to car and gages and warning lights going crazy. Turns out alternator is bad. So both vehicles are down, deer opening day is tomorrow, 25 miles trapline needs ran, have to pick up a new freezer, and I still got to go to work 35 miles away. Borrowed/ took my daughters car for now , not ideal for trapping or deer hunting but it's my only option. So now it's either my time ( my busiest time of year hunting and trapping) to fix both myself, or money to pay someone to get both done in a day. Some days you're the hammer, other days you're the nail I guess.

Must be bad vibes in our county or something, hit a deer with the wifes car last night and am up early because the geothermal is not working right. It's 18 years old and probably needs replaced and not in my budget. Hope both our luck changes for the better.

I’d check the gas lines and tranny lines ,while your at it......Living in the rust belt ....it’s just the way it is.

Gonna miss Deer season myself. Truck went FUBAR, coolant just disappears, and of course no heat, for a 3 hr one way drive! Sucks to be me!

Been there. Wasn't fun but I lived through it. I replaced all the brake lines in my old pickup. In three steps as they broke out one by one. Second time I had to pull the bed off and drop the gas tank.
If I could swing it, I'd pay somebody else to do that job.
