The Good, the bad and the ugly. Sunday was about all three. We got up at a decent time and I was trying to think about something we could do that might be fun and different but also not cost us an arm and a leg. I have several brochures from the Oklahoma tourism group. I was looking through one of them when I came across an ad for the largest Totem Pole located in Foyil, Oklahoma. I thought that might be fun. To get there you have to go through Claremore Oklahoma. While we were going through Claremore we passed by the J.M. Davis Arms and Historical Museum. Mike looks at me and says why don't we got there instead. So we went there instead. Outside the museum they have guns painted on the sidewalk as you walk up.
Inside there are tons of guns all kinds, all sizes. Its amazing. Admission is free but they do suggest a donation. We spent the better part of two hours wandering around. The kids seems to really enjoy it. They even have a model train room. Conor really liked that. We went through the gift shop and I bought some post cards and a shot glass.
We got done and decided to head home. On the way we stopped at a Quiktrip to get drinks. I came out and we were about to get on our way when low and behold the Jeep wouldn't start. Sometimes the Jeep has a problem with a misconnection and we have to sort of "play" with the gear shift to get it to connect. After doing this for about 30 minutes we decided that maybe it wasn't that after all. We tried to call several people. I have road service through my cell phone so I called to find out what it would cost to have the car towed. After finding out it would cost $115 to have the car towed we decided to leave it there and have someone come get us. We called Mike Mom who was out and about. She came and got us and by the time we came home we were all drenched in sweat and tired. The next day I called a friend of mine to go back out there with me to see if maybe I could fiddle with it a little and try to get it started. It didn't and that's when I decided we were probably going to have to have it towed after all. I picked up Mike from work and told him the news. We got home and I called the roadside service again. They told me that they could have someone there in 30 minutes. I hopped in the car and drove back out to Claremore. The tow guy showed up and off we went. We got the car back home and within about 10 minutes Mikes dad had it running. Needless to say I was pretty upset. I spent $90 to have a car towed when all I had to do was tap on the starter to get it to start. I might was well have flushed the money down the toilet. But the car is home I guess that's all that matters. I have to give a big shout out to Quiktrip for being so nice about us leaving our car overnight. the day wasn't all bad. We did get to see a pretty cool museum and something different for a change.
