Well we are officially short timers here, only 7 days left. This will go by in a blink.
On Monday we had a gathering to celebrate Milton's 82nd birthday. Today we had a cookout with a campfire following.

This will definitely be a fun week. I tell Wendy they are trying to get us to stay.
So life as a fulltimer is really no different as those in the stix n brix housing. The other day I noticed a very bad spot on a front truck tire. So no waiting til fall like we thought. The old its always something.
I will condense the tire story as much as I can. The place pulled tires and started to dismount then found out they did not have the right tires in stock. New tires ordered would now be $35 more each. They also broke tabs off hubcap and a stem on tire sensor. Ended up putting old tires back on and lost hubcap on way home.
Looked up cost of new hubcap at eye popping $249. Quickly called the manager right away letting him know what happened, he assured they would make things right.
Well they ended up buying me a new hubcap which they said cost them $300. They also gave me the tires at originally quoted price. Now still out the $50 sensor but I guess it could have been worse.
Side note I did end up finding the damaged cap and Wendy saw one on Ebay with broke tabs and scratched for $49- maybe I can sell mine?
Glad your tire story ended well! The squeaky wheel gets the grease...literally in this case.
ReplyDeleteI musta missed this post earlier! Yeah, we're starting to get that short timer's attitude here, and we still have 2 more months! I know we haven't seen everything in Florida we want to see, but I'm tired of it :-)
ReplyDeleteGeorge takes his sensors off before any tire work, and puts them back on later.
