Thursday, June 27, 2013 - Truck Repair Day

Grabbed a yogurt and a cup of coffee to go as I headed out to Quality Auto and Truck Repair, which was conveniently located just on the east side of the same freeway exit we came off for Hungerford, so it was a quick trip in. I had read several reviews on the place and it came highly recommended, and frankly, they earned every bit of it. I told them what I thought it was, but that I wasn't sure. The man in front introduced me to the mechanic, explaining we were to take a test drive so I could identify the noise. I said I didn't think that was necessary, we could just start the truck and I would show him, so that's what we did. He agreed with my diagnosis, and that was it. The only problem, I learned a while later, was that the part wouldn't be in until 3:30, so the truck wouldn't be ready until after 4:30. After numerous mangled phone calls with Hubby, he heard enough to know to come and get me, but not after I had arranged a ride from the shop, so we ended up meeting on the road just a few miles away. A relaxed day in camp before coming back to the shop to pick up the pickup, then I did some computer work arranging flights for my niece, who's coming to visit us in Minnesota at the end of July, before settling down for another wonderfully quiet evening.
