Luckily there wasn't too much major wrong with Jeff's car. But they did want to do 1400 dollars worth of stuff, most of it was the cost of labor. I can't get over how much labor cost, ugh. So, Jeff just had him fix the sensor or whatever, and that was $360. And him and his Dad can do the rest. At least he knows all they found and knows he can do it. It really just needs a major tune up, replace spark plugs, wires, and the reason it chugs is because the carburetor is sticking, so that will be a project in itself, cleaning that out, but it's something they can do. It will take longer but labor will be free. Gotta make this baby last 5 more years, until my car is paid off.
Of course this is the day they wanted him to work 11 hours. Why do they always tell him at the last minute, otherwise he would have put the car off until next week. Oh well, the rest of the week he'll probably be working ungodly hours to get this job he's working on done by Friday, and then he's off for 3 days, so that will be nice. Companies just don't understand time management. God forbid this job would have been done early, no... instead they stress out at the end, and work the guys to death at the end, instead of pacing it out. It makes no sense.
I talked to all 3 in laws today. One of them, twice... ugh. They sure can be chatterboxes sometimes. Especially when a party is coming up. And of course my kids have to go crazy when I'm trying to talk on the phone. Oh well. So plans for Monday are all set. BBQ over here. They are predicting nice weather, but that could change, this is Michigan.
Tag teaming Garfy worked. And I got his pill down him. 2 more pills to go. I can't wait until it's over. Since Jeff has to work lots of overtime for the next few days, he might not be able to get the Wii fit. Maybe tomorrow I'll drag the kids out in the morning and see if any best buy has them in stock. I'd have a better shot at 10am, then him at 7pm. He's been saving his Best buy GC just for this occasion. It looks like fun, hopefully it is. I doubt calling ahead would help. Lately every time I call a store, especially for video games, they are not helpful and don't tell me if they have it in stock. I remember with the Wii, and I think Guitar Hero or something, they said you have to come in, we don't tell you over the phone. Ugh!
