The Drama of Keys

So as usual our scooter has issues. After it being worked on twice in a 4 month period you would think it would give us a break but such is life. At the moment it goes 10 miles per hour for the first 5 minutes and then after warming up or dying it will go faster. 20 miles per hour! It dies about once every time we take it anywhere but usually at any spot we have to stop. You know, stop signs stop lights the middle of the road. Its not so bad because so far its always restarted if we kick start it. But its unreliable and we have a few bets on how long it'll last. I'm guessing my birthday. I think Steve said a week before that. Maybe I'll go get it fixed maybe not. It's hard to decide cause we would rather not pour money into a lost cause.

Anyway one other great feature of our scooter was the key. It was bent in a couple laces and sometimes caught in the ignition. So I decided to get it copied just in case it decides to break on us. I guess I shouldn't have waited too long. When they tried to line it up in the machine they broke it. Of course I didn't even notice so when they offered to drive me to every locksmith in town to find the right blank key to copy it. There were no worries. About halfway through the trip I finally realized there had to be to the problem and when we ended up at Ace hardware they tried to line the broken pieces up to. There came the second break in the key. So I ended up back at Kelly's True Value. For hours I waited while they called around trying to help. I was starving because I thought this would be a short trip and after I was so tired I just wanted to go home. So at that point a guy tried lining up the key in the machine and magically made a new key from our broken key parts. It was so so exciting cause it worked and now we have 2 keys and will not have to do that again. So now If I could get someone to fix the dang scooter than life would be just dandy.
