Slow day? But my stock is rising…
I feel like I have been on a good run with some cool things happening. Compared to those days I guess today was a slow one. I got to spend time with a friend over lunch. Nothing surprising there since I know and expect to have a good time and grow from our conversations. It almost didn't happen though…
So I have had some car problems, rattling/creaking noises at low speeds. So I just drove fast so I wouldn't hear them. But then I remembered that there was a recall issued back in November. What is it April? So 5 months after the issue, I decide to take them up on the offer. But I had no idea if the recall was going to fix the problem.. They also found a bad smell when the car is moving. I haven't smelled anything this whole month, allergies/colds… SO that was news to me, so I had them fix it.
I was kind of down in the morning. I thought I was going to be paying an arm and a leg for the work. The recall said not all of it is covered by the dealership. I was expecting somewhere like 300-1000 dollars..
Then I get a call from my friend to do lunch. Exception, he didn't have a car today so I had to meet him. No problem for me. Until I wrapped things up to leave and realized my car was at the dealership. Luckily he had a fairly open day so we waited until my car was done. Then I met up with him for a late lunch at Quizno's Steak dip sandwich is a must.. Go get one for lunch today!
The cool part of the day was when I went to the register, pulled out my credit card waiting for the bad news… The lady said… "Huh, seems to be no charge for you today…" Covered under warranty… Exact opposite of what I thought warranties were before, they cover a little, but when it is time for the work to be done, there is a loophole and you owe a lot of money.
Lunch was good, afternoon was good, although I was only thinking of 5:00 when I could get out of there and head to the golf course. I opted for that insead of the lakes.. Forgot my iPod so I couldn't jam while I practiced.
Then my buddy Reid and some other friends got together for his birthday at McCoy's, he is the big 21 this year. Good times sharing the night with him and the others.
So my day got progressively better, all the way until the ultimate and my favorite thing to do… Sleep…
Good night…
I just had the exact same thing happen on Monday with my car! I didn't even know there had been a recall; but I knew something was bad when my check engine light stayed on for a day.
