    Thank goodness you're alright! I know that my husband and I are not the only ones waiting to hear how this turned out. Stay safe out there, friend. We're all traveling right along with you. Thank you for sharing your adventures!

    Am really enjoying this trip. The dam is amazing. Loved the statue. My guess is that Alabam was just a very happy person. We have a dishwasher at work like that. He just simply brightens your day when he walks in the room because he is always happy. Have a great trip home.

    When you get the key out, get some powdered graphite, you can usually find it next to the key section of a hardware store. squirt some in the lock and put it all over the key and put it in and out a few times.

    Glad you were able to resolve the lock problem with a locksmith, towing and waiting for a dealership takes too much time. I had the same problem with a Honda I owned. It turned out someone had tried to break into my car and messed up the lock. I had a spare key in my wallet. Enjoying your travels.

  • @nancyk4595
    @nancyk4595 7 лет назад

    The double rainbow was so pretty. Thanks for sharing it with us. So glad we have a key FOB now instead of key entry. You did an oops and didn't stop for the pedestrians waiting to cross the road at the crosswalk. I am guilty of doing that too especially if this is the first time to an area. Safe travels Jacob.

    Jacob, every few mouths put some graphite in all your door locks. It comes in a small tube. Besides lubricating the locks, it stops the lucks from freezing. It's very cheep. Lot cheeper then a locksmith.

  • @GLK-London
    @GLK-London 7 лет назад

    Glad you got that Key sorted,I hope the bill was not to high Jacob. Regarding the dog buried at the Hoover Dam, I imagine it has the same name as Guy Gibson the commander of the famous Dam Buster Squadron in World War 2. It was a long time ago and things that were deemed acceptable then are not now of course. Another smashing video. Drive safely on your journey back home.

Stay safe & roll on, CB, from yet another cyber-strand in yr ever-expanding interweb of well-wishers.

    OK ,..I just joined the spare key people,...some keys are about $100. Others,...basic keys, are lots less,...but now we all see the value of being redundantly prepared. Even if its an unconventional method...you never know what will happen,..but it will happen. Because you never know what it is,...just know that it is. Tumbleweeds are everywhere,... 1 in a million "it could only happen to me" quagmires only go where I do though....Glad to see you are rolling along Jacob. Be Safe fellow traveler....
