The day started out great...sun-shining at 5:30 a.m.! yayyy! so far every morning has been overcast until mid day.
I headed right up the road with the motor home to have the carburetor installed. About 2 hours later the phone call came from the mechanic...the carburetor was slightly damaged due to no packing but easily fixed. Ok.....I head out with 'lil brother for the usual trek for garage sales....we stop at the garage to see the issue. We return...I head to the grocery store and bank 20 miles away.
another phone call from the mechanic....the carb was installed but not delivering fuel during idle....something is wrong with the carb...the fuel lines etc have already been customized for this carb and old one can not be put back on....so fix carb. Says I should call where we ordered the carb from for a refund or money off.
I come out of the store only to discover that in my piss off about the carb I locked the car with the key in the ignition...crapweasel..I have never done that. Soooo....$20 later the cab company unlocks the door for me.
I phone Dan to tell him about the carburetor issues and that he needs to phone the place we bought it...he's having a real bad day already. There was no invoice in the box with the carb (we had it shipped to Alaska so it would be here when I arrived)
At least when we are together we can sound off the each other about such irritating things like this. Several phone calls later with Dan he is getting no where with the company we bought the carb. from. Now I have to have the mechanic call the place on Monday as they say because he took it apart instead of returning it the warranty is void. Well there was no option of returning the carb and waiting for a new one and I don't want another one of their "rebuilt" ones...this guy is already fixing it....an I don't want to pay for a piece of junk. Hell to be with limited phone service so Dan is dealing with the phone calls and I am emailing them. Mechanic will talk with them on Monday.
I am seeing the check book taking a big hit on this one and I'm trying my best to stay on a tight budget. With no money coming in as neither of us is working money is tight.
Well onto more pleasant things...I did try some different settings as I am not happy with the photos I have been taking. So here they are...same mountains different setting and hopefully better photos.
I am seriously missing my snooky and Rosie my kitty! Would be better if we were together going thru this stuff.
