Ok so we started at 830 and thought great we will be there by dinner. we said a prayer for safety and peace before we left. I mean think about it 9 people 1 van and no movies, what is the world coming to. LOL We got a pretty good clip down the road ( we were past pueblo) and something started to rattle. so we pulled over and checked things out and could see NOTHING. so we got back into the car thinking it was a peice of plastic that had just worked loose and fell off when se stopped. got the van going about 40 and the rattle starts again only worse. D thinks is has to be one of the tires so he gets out and takes some things apart and get back in the Van. NOPE not that. so then we take the engine cover off and drive for a while with an exposed engine and Me driving so DH can see what is up under the hood. The rattle is still there but we can't seem to see the problem. Oh and talk about a nail biter, me driving with hot pipes next to my flip flopped foot. YIKES.. Anyway we pull off and put the engine cover back on it isn't in the engine so there is no use in doing that any longer. He checkes the tires again and we are all but sure we have the problem fixed and down the road we go again, NOPE. once again it starts. I am now trying to see if it has something to do with the windshield wipers because it is so loud and annoying and something has to be done. As I am looking dh just happens to touch the ceiling and says it is on the ROOF. Ok now I am thinking our luggage rack is coming loose and we will have to stop again and fix that. We didn't it happened to be tht black plastic lining thing that keeps you windsheild in place. who would have thought. We pop it back in and go on our way. it wokes for a while then pops out again. and we have to stop and put it back. Finally we just stop at a checker buy glue and duct tape and glue the dang thing on and hold it thre with the duct tape. it took almost 2 hours of our trip and put us in Las cruces at 8 instead of 6. Now I am going to go unpack my stuff and go to bed.
I will let you all know how tomorrow goes tomorrow.
