Living in Norwalk, “the part’s not in yet” or “it’s on order” or “are you sure you bought that here?” are common phrases. This is the small city of small inventory! I tried to get a drive belt for my lawn tractor locally, went to three different places. In each store, the clerk scratched his head, consulted his part book, shook his head several times and….came up dry! Finally went to Sandusky and found one right away! And the local merchants repeat to oft chanted refrain–“Shop local!” Yeah, sure I will.
Oh, cripes. *BAM*

Mechanics. They drop out of high school to do one job, and they can’t even do it right. Pffft.

Methinks it time for a Diva fit – don’t you agree?

I’m way overdue!! Hey, how was your getaway?
I sense a big can of “whoop-a$$” gonna get opened up on them tomorrow!
And if not tomorrow (we’ve decided to let it go till we get back), they can just wait for it, knowing it’s coming. HA
