Things the GC's say

Get home Tuesday night, kids are in the #1's room. She comes out, bawling her head off, followed by her sister. She has a composition notebook in her hands. She holds it up and declares to my wife "How could you give this to GC#2, this is my POETRY book". Now, I'm standing there with my mouth open just looking at her. She's f-ing 6 for pete's sake, I know she's not composing poetry. And you should have been there to behold the drama of the crying and carrying on. Turns out that the book had some poetry from school that they had been given, and asked to draw what the poetry meant. What could we do but take back the book and apologize for being so unfeeling? I mean WOW!

Update on the jeep, and also my excellent customer service note of the day.......in my last post, I was pissed that the throwout bearing didn't fit on the transmission. So I call AMS, who is the manufacturer to find out if I ordered the wrong part or what. They listen to my describe the problem, ask some questions, and without any further ado ship me out a new bearing. So I ask, should I ship the old one back? And the sales guy, without missing a beat, says, No, just throw it away. Holy crap! have I fallen into some sort of vortex? I mean I really liked the call. So all I can say, Gold star for AMS clutch people.

Not much else going on other than work, work on the house, work on the jeep, etc. Weather has been really nice here in SW FL until this morning. But it's clearing up now, an promises to be 3 or 4 more really nice days.

Later
