Problem: We went to a couple of bike shops . My brother had given me a good name brand so I needed to look at the differences in a couple of models . Technically we are going to buy the first one I saw .

What may be the reason for them buying the first one they saw ?

A: They are eager for a bike .

Problem: Phone calls to Duffman and his dad suggested it would not be a good idea to continue to the cities . I turned around and headed to my town . Went to the service station , owned by a guy whose sisters I had gone to school with , so at least I feel I can trust him . He should be able to replace the alternator today , thankfully , so I wo n't be without a car all weekend , but the $ 300 + bill is n't going to be fun ( especially since we 're also having $ 450 in gravel and rock delivered today so Mr.

What may be the reason why paying the bill wo n't be fun ?

A: Because it 's a lot of money .

Problem: I started feeling somewhat better after about 3 hours in the car . We made it through Chicago in one piece after having had to take a few detours to get from route 30 to I-90 . After 11 hours of driving , we made it to David 's relatives ' house ( Aunt Sally and Uncle Gregg ... his mom 's older sister and spouse ) in Wausau , WI . Yummy dinner and relaxation . Sunday : Woke up with almost no voice , which made church very frustrating because I could n't sing .

What happens when I try to talk ?

A:
Not much comes out .
