    Not to mention if you wait it out for CO or CA the wait to get serviced could be upwards of a week! (been there before!) Plus tow bills are costly!

    That was nice of you guys to write that letter! Its good to give props when something actually gets done! Plus Karma goes a long way! You guys are good folks and its nice to run into people like yourselves, though few and far between, every once and awhile.

    Good luck Klingons and drive safe!
     
    NavigatorWife and Lady K Thank this.

    Done with another day at home... Just a tease, then on our way again... Sigh... Love the loop, because we DO get home more often, but if we want/need more than one day, it's a full week! We also picked up from Napa a 'code reader' from Napa for the Freightliner... Hopefully the cost will be worth it! Our line of thinking at this point is that we are going to purchase this truck, so i think eventually it will pay for itself. We know the type of maintenance we've done, and all in all it has run well. We have 13K in our 'over mileage' and will have about 18-20K at the end of the lease (if all things go as planned) which will go toward the purchase price. We planned on staying with Central at least until the end of the lease, so we have at least until June of '14 to revisit our plan...

    So THAT'S what it's like to have a full time at home... NICE!! Got in about noon on Thursday and left about 0900 on Saturday. I was able to get a bunch of stuff done. The normal washing and shopping I got done on Thursday, so had a full day to work around the house on Friday!! Spent some $$, but it was well worth it. 1-800-GOT-JUNK - yep we had junk! Now it's in a manageable pile. Slowly but surely we are getting things back to our definition of clean. What we need to work on now is healthcare/insurance. Really bugs me that we don't have any. Being L/O (1099) the company doesn't supply any, and privately it is WAY expensive!! Now that we are a corporation, we are looking as a 'company' with two employees... Hopefully that will bring the costs down!!
