We had a job in dennis, ma. to do for our attorney. he could not start his 2001 volvo wagon.
We took everything we thought we would need and then some. On our last trip to the Cape we had also picked up his Toro snowpup which was in need of service.
On our way down we had previously planned a meeting in Mansfiels for some training.
after that we hit the Sagamore Bridge which was under construction and headed down to Dennis, Ma.
We passed all the clam shacks closed for the season, wishing for one last succulent taste of a fried clam......we got to the house, which is on a hill with several inches of unplowed snow on the driveway and barrelled our way up.
We got out the tools we needed and hooked the battery up to a battery charger, then checked to see where the juice from the battery was channeling. The rear passenger map light was on, upon checking it fornd it was defective. Mr. Fix-It removed it to stop the draw of power, we removed the 9 year old battery and replaced it with a new one. Drove the car arounfd the block for good measure. All was well , we would order the switches to change on our next visit to the cape.
Our original plan was to heard to Marthas Vineyard for a few days, but the sun was dipping below the horizon so we decided to trek down to Provincetown where we hadn't been in several years to check out the scene....we gor there long after dark, found a hotel, had dinner at the Lobster Pot, which was on the waterfront and awesome. The next day we checked out Race Point, in hurricane -like conditions.....we camped and went on the dunes when we were kids with a modified VW bug , we had a great time in the summer there when we were growing up. Mr. Fix-It and I started going there when we were only 18 years old. We camped and did the dunes every weekend for years, until life and bills intruded in on our life!!!
We hope to get there again on our next trip to the Cape. Above picture is my fathers modified VW bug in the 60's in the dunes of P-town....
