there are a shortage of
25:54
there are a shortage of pumps and some other stuff that belongs
25:56
pumps and some other stuff that belongs
25:56
pumps and some other stuff that belongs in the transmission if they were to
25:57
in the transmission if they were to
25:57
in the transmission if they were to rebuild the whole thing and replace the

and so it would be cheaper but it would
26:03
and so it would be cheaper but it would take a long time so unfortunately the
26:07
take a long time so unfortunately the
26:07
take a long time so unfortunately the best option is
26:09
best option is
26:09
best option is a question mark long time too it could
26:11
a question mark long time too it could
26:11
a question mark long time too it could be
26:11
be

32:25
got here and if i'd even got to here i
32:25
got here and if i'd even got to here i would have had just today's worth of
32:27
would have had just today's worth of
32:27
would have had just today's worth of gettysburg maybe if i was lucky and i'd
32:30
gettysburg maybe if i was lucky and i'd
32:30
gettysburg maybe if i was lucky and i'd be barreling west so fast that i
32:32
be barreling west so fast that i
32:32
be barreling west so fast that i wouldn't even have a chance to stop and
32:33
wouldn't even have a chance to stop and
32:33
wouldn't even have a chance to stop and see anything because i lost so much time
32:35
see anything because i lost so much time
32:35
see anything because i lost so much time due to the van before
32:36
due to the van before
32:36
due to the van before and this way i could time it to fly back
32:40
and this way i could time it to fly back
32:40
and this way i could time it to fly back at such a time where we can take two or
32:42
at such a time where we can take two or
32:42
at such a time where we can take two or three weeks to go home instead of you
32:44
three weeks to go home instead of you
32:44
three weeks to go home instead of you know
32:45
know seven days and then hopefully we'll be
32:48
seven days and then hopefully we'll be
32:48
seven days and then hopefully we'll be able to do more stuff see more things
32:51
able to do more stuff see more things
32:51
able to do more stuff see more things and uh it's kind of neat because we'll
32:53
and uh it's kind of neat because we'll
32:53
and uh it's kind of neat because we'll be starting from this side of the
32:55
be starting from this side of the
32:55
be starting from this side of the country instead of that side of the
32:56
country instead of that side of the
32:56
country instead of that side of the country i did consider just getting a
32:58
country i did consider just getting a
32:58
country i did consider just getting a rental car and driving home and
32:59
rental car and driving home and
32:59
rental car and driving home and continuing the journey but for the
33:01
continuing the journey but for the
33:01
continuing the journey but for the rental car to go one way that way they
33:02
rental car to go one way that way they
33:02
rental car to go one way that way they wanted three thousand dollars so almost
33:05
wanted three thousand dollars so almost
33:05
wanted three thousand dollars so almost as much as just fixing the van so i
33:07
as much as just fixing the van so i
33:07
as much as just fixing the van so i thought that's no solution here because
33:09
thought that's no solution here because
33:09
thought that's no solution here because i'd still have to fly all the way back
33:11
i'd still have to fly all the way back
33:11
i'd still have to fly all the way back right so that would just make my plane
33:13
right so that would just make my plane
33:13
right so that would just make my plane ticket go from however many hundreds of
33:14
ticket go from however many hundreds of
33:14
ticket go from however many hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars in the
33:16
dollars to thousands of dollars in the
33:16
dollars to thousands of dollars in the form of a car
