Getting Our New Truck

4/15/08

The chicken was crowing this morning and it would not stop. My phone alarm is set to crow like a chicken when it goes off and you have to open the phone and punch all these buttons to get it to go off and if you have ever tried to do that early in the morning ….your eyes half open etc…you get the picture. Today is the day I have to drive to Terrell Texas to see about my truck, hence the alarm was set early. The truck that I love so much has ceased to run correctly and the old Lemon Law is now in effect. Therefore, we had to get up with the chickens, so to speak, clean up, and head off for east Texas.
It takes about 45 min. to get there from the RV Park. Dallas is not the place to be driving at 8:00 in the morning. LBJ expressway looks like an Indy racetrack! However, through all the dodging in and out of traffic we made it without incident.
I was very skeptical to say the least when we arrived at the dealership. I just knew that they would give me a hard time but I will have to say the meeting went off without a hitch….I guess because Chrysler had called ahead and told them that I was coming and for them to get me a replacement truck.
Ok so now I am getting a new truck….one that runs more than a month and does not go to the shop for service. I hope that I get it before the rally in June.
I am at work now and our son is coming in tonight from Kansas City on business. He will be coming over and we are all going out to eat. We have not seen him in 7 months so we will have a lot of catching up to do.
That is a wrap on this segment “Somewhere in Time”
