When we were in Oklahoma, we had a free breakfast buffet at the hotel and one day when Gary was going fishing early in the morning - he grabbed a muffin and glass of orange juice to eat on the way. Unfortunately he spilled about half the orange juice when he got into the pickup. Some of it went down into the gear shift area.

We had completely forgotten the orange juice incident so when the gear shift was hard to put into park and acting funny, Gary thought he should take it in to the dealer. The guy called today to say that someone had spilled something sticky into the gear shift area and everything was gummed up down there. Uhhhh, that would be Gary that spilled the sticky orange juice. They have to order some part that is ruined and it will be $200 and 3 days in the shop!

I'M SURE GLAD I DIDN'T SPILL THAT ORANGE JUICE!!! :D

Oh dear!!!! I bet Gary wasn't too happy huh? When my son was younger.....he spilled so many drinks in my van. It was always such a job getting it cleaned up. Didn't cost us anything except for the elbow grease.

Guess you need to keep some sippy cups in the truck....lol

Wow!! That sure made that glass of orange juice expensive!!! We have to buy so many parts for tractors that anymore I don't even blink an eye at the cost!!! You'd be surprised at what the smallest part can cost!!! At least it was only $200!!!!

I know what you mean Diana. Farm implements and their components are sooooo expensive. Most people don't have any idea how expensive they are.

We are lucky it is only $200

LOL! Jessica you may be right!!! Gary wouldn't have been mad at me, but he would have REMINDED me of the "incident" for years to come. :o

Ouch! That $200 must hurt Gary every time he looks at orange juice!

I had a phone that wasn't working, back in the day when there were fix-it shops. When I went to pick it up, the guy told me he found jelly in the phone. Mackenzie was about a year old. Maybe she fed the phone some grape jelly???
