MacGyver a.k.a. Jon

A couple of weeks ago I decided that I wanted to have a picnic and drive the Alpine Loop. Jon and I took off in the 4-Runner for an adventure. It was great to get away in the mountains even if it was for just an evening. We took our time and drove on little side roads just to see what was there. We decided to stop for dinner on a dirt road where we used to ride the 4-wheelers when we were dating. It brought back a lot of memories. When we stopped we ended up with a little trouble.



From the picture you might think that we had car troubles but that was not the case. The car was running perfectly. In packing everything for dinner I had failed include the matches for the BBQ. Jon and I searched all over the car for a matchbook or lighter or anything that would start the BBQ but no such luck. Jon had a brilliant idea that one would only see on MacGyver (that is if MacGyver was hungry and forgot matches for the BBQ). Jon decided that if he took of the spark plug wire and held it up the BBQ while I started the vehicle the spark from the wire would light the BBQ. Stroke of genius he was right. I now have my own MacGyver.
