On Saturday, Tomo had a long drive into the night to Pilot Butte, Saskatchewan, just east of Regina, Saskatchewan. Tomo made contact with our friends, Loren & Sheila and their children in Pilot Butte, and was invited to join them for breakfast and then the Sunday morning meeting and a lovely lunch followed. A special surprise was to meet Nathan, the middle son of the family Tomo home stayed with nine years ago. Of course the young men have changed a bit from those days but it was fun to meet up in another province and amongst other like minded people. And like usual, many were surprised that the young men knew each other, one being from Japan and the other from High Prairie, Alberta but really it is a small world.
Then on Sunday afternoon, Tomo had all the great plans to hit the road after that lovely time and make his way to Edmonton for the delivery on Monday morning. HOWEVER ... the truck decided to have a bad 'AIR' day!! The truck has a part called the 'AIR DRYER' which dries the air from the air compressor. However it failed and/or froze up. Tomo spent longer than he wanted in his Mechanic Monkey suit under his truck doing all the tricks his Drive Managers was teaching him, but the only result was very, very, very cold fingers and toes!! So being Sunday, mechanics are not so easy to find, but combine that with 'SUPER BOWL SUNDAY', well..... forget it!! Tomo was going to have a little (break) down time until Monday when a mechanic and come out and fix the part. It was a bit chilly in that part of the country. Maybe there will be some photos coming .... in his situation right now he is without internet access so hard to get photos. More later.
