It is Monday midnight and I just came back home ! It took more than 48 hours for me to get there, because my car was stopped on the road just 80 miles after Jackson - due to engine damage. "AAA" brought the car to the nearest shop and repair place, but engine mechanic was on duty only on Monday, and I stayed in some motel Saturday and Sunday.

Today mechanic looked at car and said - it will take a several days for him to fix everything, and I used a Greyhound bus to come home to Columbus.

I still have to go back to Nashiville next weekend to pay and take my car.

This message was posted a year ago (May 2007) when I came back home from Strawberry ty. In fact it took several weeks and almost three grands to fix that car.

What happened this year (2008) ? The same car stopped again in Louisville for the same reason - engine !!! This time it's happened on my way to the tournament and now, having experience, I was smart enough do not do anything out of home. I called AAA and they bring me back to Columbus.

Can you believe this ???

I am asking - if anyone who reads this post before goiing to Humboldt, pass my great apologises to organizers and players. In particular - Mr. Burton and Larry Keene, who reserved a complimentary room for me.

W-O-W !

Regards,

Alex
