Thumbs up Thanks fellow villagers

Last night on our return trip home after a night out our golf cart lost power and stopped running as we entered to go thru the tunnell under 466a toward turtle mound. We can't count the number of fellow villagers who stopped to offer to help or a ride home. Two suggested Village **** Aide . They responded within minutes, loaded up and headed home. We are among their newest customers. It was weird our yamaha gas cart lost lights and then the engine just puttered to a stop.

Thank you for posting something positive about TV. I hope it's an easy fix for your golf cart.

Sorry about the cart, Don but glad to hear it worked out so well. A similar thing happened to me and I subscribed to **** Aide the next day. It was good to see you last night and I'm glad that you and Ellen made it home safely.

That's odd, I went through that tunnel yesterday about noon to play golf at Evans Prairie and there was a yellow Par Car parked at the south end of the tunnel in the grass with nobody there. Later when we came back through the Par Car was still there. I was reading your post thinking that mystery had been solved, only to see you were driving a Yamaha.

Villagers are great! Does anyone have a link, or phone to the service that provides towing?

One person that came by and offered help stated they had their cart do the very same thing, at the exact location.

One time the cart wouldn't start on the course when my wife was playing with the girls. On a whim, she asked for a push start, and it worked. So, each time they had to move up, the girls gave her a push start. Turns out the cart needed a new starter/generator.

I am glad you got help right away. There is something about both you and Ellen that just draws kindness. I am so lucky to know you both. You are fun, sweet people.

Thank you so much for those kind words Gracie. I think that happens with most Buckeyes.
