Thursday is normally a T.R.O.T day, but because of the recent snow and rain, no horseback riding. That left a clear day for a date with Dennis except that we needed to go to the credit unit and get a loan for the new (used) truck we are buying for the business. Gary (brother-in-law) has been communicating with the seller, who is still waiting for his pink slip, expected Monday. We worked with the loan officer to have the seller fax in a few papers and then come in with the pink slip on Monday and sign off and pick up his check. We explained that to Gary, who, in turn, explained it to the seller. Then the seller said he didn't expect to have to do all that and it was a deal breaker. What?
After that, we took the Prius in to the Toyota dealer because the indicator lights were all on.
We had lunch with Uncle Johnny, who was kind enough to let us borrow his car. Then we took Johnny home and went to the movies while we waited for our car to be fixed. We saw The Artist, winner of this year's Academy Awards. We expected Hugo to win Best Picture and, after watching The Artist, we still think it was the better movie. Oh well.
The car was ready after the movie, so we went to pick it up. Turned out that "rodents" had eaten into the wiring harness. Luckily, there were able to fix the wires affected at a cost of over $300. The service guy did say, however, that if more damage had been done, the entire harness would have to be replaced at a cost of $7,000. Wow.
After that we took Johnny's car back and went to do some grocery shopping for Mom and Angie (who is still sick). WalMart is still a horrible store to shop in, but the prices are better than the grocery store. I do hate that place.
We got home around 5:45 p.m. Poor Flash must have thought we were never coming home. He was very happy to see us.
Although there were some good moments, all-in-all it was not the best date.
