Day 204.

6:00 am came [way too] early this morning.
Sometimes I forget that humans need sleep to survive.
[Apparently] 4 hours isn’t enough.
Oops.
We were up and ready to go by 7:00 and headed out.
170 West Center Street, North Salt Lake was our destination.
Copart.
Boyfriend rebuilds cars….
And is good at it.
When we started our journey I was driving [and eating toast].
Boyfriend knows my fears of the freeway and so when we were at a stoplight close to the freeway we switched and he became the driver.
Yep.
We’re kind of a big deal.
The drive was great….
Except for the fact that the boyfriend doesn’t like Utah drivers/traffic.
We got there around 8 and picked up the car.
I liked it.
It looked a lot better than I thought it would.

Once he got out of the lot, boyfriend started taking it apart.
Boyfriend started taking the passenger wheel off and realized we needed some parts.
Off to Napa Auto Parts in Bountiful.
Unfortunately they didn’t have it.
Off of the Napa Auto Parts warehouse in Salt Lake City.
Poor Kathy [aka cash register lady] had showed up for the morning shift when she was only supposed to work nights.
Bless her heart.
She didn’t seem too excited about the fact she was going to have a [very] long day.
Soon enough we were back with the car and the fixing continued.

The part we needed fit just right so we headed down to maverick to give it a drink.

It was pleased.

We returned to Napa Auto Parts, returned the part he didn’t use, and went on our way.

Me and the man who helped us had one thing in common.

We both shave our arms.

Yep.

Except he had multiple tattoos on his arm.

Unfortunately [or fortunately] I’m not to that point yet.

Next stop?

Somewhere where boyfriend could fix whatever it was that was supposed to hold the tire on straight.

He found a little shop and the man working let him fix it.

It took an hour or so but it got fixed.

Relief.

He could get back to Idaho safely.

We took a quick break and headed to Subway.

I got the usual….

Italian BMT.

He got a man sandwich….

Steak and Cheese.

Just like the college days.

It wasn’t too long before he headed back to Idaho but it was a blast to spend the day with him and his car.

I’d have to say that me and the boyfriend go on some pretty great adventures.

What’s in store for this next weekend?
