It's 12 noon on Saturday. I left my house at 8:15 to go into work for a couple hours. So already the day isn't good. It's raining and I have to go to the grocery store after work. I get in my truck and start her up. Put it in gear and release the emergency brake... The brake light stays on! Uh-oh..this can't be good. So I drive around the block and I slow down to go over a speed bump when I look down and notice my speed-o-meter isn't working either. Well it can't be that bad I'll just drive on in to work and I'll worry about this on Monday... Wrong, as I am driving in my check engine light comes on. Now all this has happened in a matter of 15 minutes. Luckily my neighborhood Car-X is right on the way. I pull in and wait...and wait...and wait! Only to watch the parts delivery guy come and go not once but twice with the wrong part! The Guys at Car-X were so concerned with me sitting here so long that they took it upon themselves to drive out and get the right part themselves! Now it's almost 4 hours later and here i sit... Oh did I mention that my wife stopped by when the first delivery guy was here and offered me a ride home. "Nah, they're almost finished with it", I told her... Boy was I wrong... At least the weather is crappy today! I don't have to go home and work outside. I can sit here in peice and quiet and read posts on LotD! I should have known better!
