Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

Moving day. Going from one room to another. This should be my highlight of the day.

 

Thanks Mack. Still have it. Though I don’t ride much anymore. I bought it off the floor brand new in ‘03.

 

So, today’s adventure consisted of walking over to the Petro on the other side of the 10 freeway for a change of scenery. Got a call about 3:30 local time from the Detroit dealer. The MIA part is still MIA. It was too late to call into Richmond to let them know that come Thursday afternoon, if no part shows up, I’ll be flying home Friday morning, with or without their blessing, and stay home until they find this useless part for this useless truck. I’ve waited long enough, I’ve had it. If I hear one remark from anyone up the chain of command tell me otherwise, come next Tuesday, I’ll have a new job.

The Saint I’m married to who has been my saving grace through all this, is getting a little fed up. So far this has cost $1145 in hotel, $100 in food, $285 plane ticket, $25 Uber and my breakdown pay. I’m not concerned about getting reimbursed, I’m pissed off because they put trucks on the road with no parts available. I mean we’re talking about friggin metal clamp/gasket for Gods sake.
