TRUCKED UP AND STINKY CAR WASH

Got the truck serviced.  While it was in there, I mentioned that it occasionally stutters when at a steady speed (CK mentioned it to me as well when she borrowed it to move some furniture).  They recommended an injector clean up treatment and showed me where they recommend it should be done every 30K anyway.  We'll see how that works out.

They also showed that I should get the power steering flushed every 30K as well.  At $70 extra (on top of the $90 for the injector cleaning, plus the other work), I decided it would wait till the next oil change.

GRASSED REPORT

Spoke with the person in charge of the maintenance of the "common area".  Very courteous.  They listened to what I had to say, apologized, and said it would be taken care of.  Of course the whole issue of seasonal help got brought up, but I anticipated that one.  But it was bought up more as a "compounding issue", not a root cause.

I hung up feeling much better about the whole affair.  Especially when I was told to "please call if you have any more problems so we can get them resolved quickly."

I know, we ALL hear that kind of response to a problem.  This had a different feel to it though.  I think it was truly meant.  We'll see.

Solutions happen.

TRUCK CHECK TIME

Even though I know this will flip out Bogie, I have to mention it.

Tomorrow I will be taking the truck in for its 30K check-up.  Yeah, I know, it's about time.  After all, the truck IS almost 4 years old.

Miles (finally) happen.

TOSSED "PART III" UP AS WELL

Had a flash of time and decided to knock out Part III while I was here.

Find it "here" (in case you missed the first link).  And enjoy.  Just remember to read Part II first.

Reading happens.

"PART II" IS NOW UP

Sorry for the long delay, but if you've been reading, then you have some clue.

Anyway, "Bright Lights: Part II" is now up.

Read.  Enjoy.

Stories (finally) happen.

A LITTLE GRASSED

Sounds funny, but that is the best way to put it.  I am having an issue with grass.

"WHY DO THEY..." ANSWER

and an update on the new job thing.

WHY DO THEY DO THAT?

Told you I would do a "pondering".

Look below.

I'M AT IT AGAIN

As some of you may remember, I just changed positions (two earlier posts) at work.

I may be doing it again.

EVER BEEN STALKED...
