Car Trouble

Last week Liens' car broke down. Something about the brakes. He had his brother look at it since his brother knows a few things about fixing car. He was a mechanic for the Air Force....i think! He fixed the convoys. Usually Lien could fix it himself but he has been working 12 hours a day every day so he has been unusually very tired. And since his brother is living with us right now and not doing anything he thought he should get his brother to take a look at it.
Turns out it was worst than he had thought. They pretty much had to take every thing out and fix all the brake lines and stuff like that. I don't know anything about cars but when i heard:
"okay we'll go buy a torch tomorrow" I know it's something huge....right?
It's been at least 4 days total now that Lien hasn't been able to ride his car. He has been getting rides with my dad to work since they work together. But for the pass 2 days i have been picking him up from work since dad is not working 11 hours. Only Lien and 2 other guys work the extra hours.
It's been a pain in the butt to say the least. It's not fun when you don't have flexibility. When you have to depend on some one else to pick you up and drop you off it gets a little frustrating doesn't it?
He misses his car and we sure hope it is up and running soon. It's an old car but he can still drive it. And we will be using it till it really breaks down and dies on us.....which i hope won't be for a very very long time (knock on wood) I really can't afford another car.
fixing his baby! 
Nilun has been helping the boys out too. He is learning so much. That is a good thing.


Hopefully this baby will be up and running really soon.
