I could not resist putting this on my blog. A friend had posted it on FB. It just cracks me up. Not something I am looking forward to.Well it has been quite boring at this household this week except for the adventures with our rig. Our speedometer has been not working properly for quite sometime now. As we are scheduled for a road trip we needed to address this subject. So we made an appointment with our favorite garage in the city, took the rig in. That was Wednesday. They checked out the problem and unfortunately we needed to replace our cluster sensor.........not cheap. They were able to find a used one in town so we were happy about saving dollars. We were told our rig would be ready Thursday. As we had not heard from them by two on Thursday hubby called and the gal in the office said it was ready. So we jumped in hubby's work van and headed across town. My husband dropped me off and away he drove. When I went in to pay and get my rig everyone seemed surprised I was there. There was no paperwork indicating the work had been done. Finally the manager said the part was not even there yet.............what? Now I have no ride home. The gal in the office had us mixed up with some one else duh? So they had a worker there bring me back home. So no car Thursday. Thursday night the owner called and said the replacement sensor had come in late afternoon and was now installed in our car. However though the speedometer worked now the turn signals did not indicate they were on though they did work. We said that would be ok until we got back as they would then put in another sensor. So this morning early hubby once again drove me back to the garage. I went in and retrieved my keys and started my car and nothing in the dash compartment came on. The gas gauge, odometer, all the gauges were dark, no indicators as to what gear you were even in etc. Well hello! The speedometer worked but that was all. Well no thanks! So I go back inside the garage and tell them I am not taking my car on a trip in that condition. So once more I call my hubby and he comes to fetch me. We told them to put our regular sensor back in the vehicle. So we were back where we at when we first took it in Wednesday. So I finally got my car late Friday and everything works but the speedometer. I am tired of it all by this point.
Hubby had a grand idea. As this repair was going to cost us over four hundred dollars he went and bought us a GPS for under a hundred bucks. We mounted it on the dash and it tells us our speed as well as all the other readings a GPS has. So that is what we did fixed the problem ourselves.
So that has been our past three days. Back and forth and back and forth to Joe's Garage. They did not charge us for a thing, should we have charged them?
It is so ugly here the past few days I am totally fed up. Grim.... groan! A looming damp gray blanket has been hanging over us for days now. I am happy in the thought that we will be out from under it for a few days soon.
Well enough of my complaining all is well really. Life is good.
I will leave you now to go about your business.
We are having a vegetarian dinner tonight nothing noteworthy just simple clean nourishing fare.
Ciao
