Short weeks

It is amazing how the weeks with a holiday seem to take so much longer than a five day week. Especially coming back from a week of vacation before it. I guess I can't complain too much.

During vacation I had so many problems with my car. I have a 2001 Buick Regal that has a little over 49,000 miles on it. I take fairly good care of it, but I ended up with some transmission problems. Took it to Haydocy and they ended up charging over 2600 dollars to repair it! Then when they called to give the quote, it was almost as if they thought that that amount of money was pocket change. Considering that it is more that I bring home in one month, I really did not care for that attitude, plus for $2600 I could have gotten a rebuilt transmission put in instead of just repairs on a couple parts (by the way, over $1500 was just for labor - would we all love to be able to make close to $100 an hour!). Needless to say, I won't be taking it back to Haydocy anytime soon and would recommend that others consider other places as well.

Well, I guess that I have ranted enough at this point.

Until next time...
