Aaaah, there lies the problem, if you don't have neighbors you can collaborate with. We don't even know where we're moving, but I have a list I'm calling later on tonight for rentals.
My bf has a 60's Suburban that is almost fixed, but his friend is working 12+ hrs a day and cannot complete. They were going to put in an automatic transmission so I could drive it, but lets just get it running. Keeping all vehicles in gas makes sense, and also keeping jerry cans filled is a good idea.
Such a pain to take care of yourselves and loved ones : (
Indeed it is- I'm the "Mother Hen" ( that's "Mutha!" to be a little rude about it... ) for my extended family.
Mechanic, medic, gopher--
( "Hey, it's raining/snowing/Hurricane Weather outside, and we need medicine/gas/repairs-- let's call John! He knows how to do it!" )
Grumble, grumble! If I could just get paid to it, I'd be rich...
