Here is how it happened--The car repair (end of axle and tie rods and other stuff) guy shipped my car over to the Havoline realignment place. The Havoline guy just realigned without looking to see if parts were worn. So, I bought new tires that lasted three months before they were bald, the kind of bald that comes from bad alignment. No one is willing to admit he screwed up, so I am going to be out over $800 for new tires, balancing, new wheel, realignment, and parts that car will most likely need to make the realignment....and something else, some sort of thing where they rotate the tires all the time. <br /><br />I KNEW that parts might be needed for a 2000 car, but obviously the guy did not look, just performed an alignment that was destined to fail as soon my car was backed out of the bay.<br /><br />NO one told me I had a severely bent wheel!<br /><br />I may bring Charle in on this because he has a booming voice and will go nutso on them and will probably make them sooooo angry.I really don't care how angry they get because I am right on this. 3 months for tires? The guy said, "Well, you put 5000 miles on the car, what do you expect." Not a true statement of my mileage and not what tires should give me in terms of mileage. <br /><br />Oh, I make less that $800/month!Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-63572646980009918982012-04-18T21:11:06.836-04:002012-04-18T21:11:06.836-04:00Really, Anonymous, really?

Gee kid, thanks for the short notice. So I picked up the part at Canadian tire and michael and I tried to figure out how to replace it. Oh, did I mention it was pitch dark and there was a thunderstorm going on? Oh, and let's not forget that while michael can cook and clean and iron he's not mechanically inclined. So picture me holding an umbrella and a flashlight while michael valiantly took the headlight apart and dug around the innards to get the old bulb mechanism out and the new one in. There was much cursing involved, no bonding, we lucky ther was no fisticuffs!<br />Anyhow, thanks for the laughs and the lovely trip down memory lane!<br />Dear anonymous- seriously???

Our most recent unplanned-yet-planned expense was a home and sewer inspection. I've been saving to buy a house for many years, but it took a recent rent increase notice to spur us into action and get us to really look at real estate. We found a place we really liked much sooner than we thought we would and hopefully it will be ours by the summer. It's hard to spend this money even though it's always been earmarked for this particular occasion.Hopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721310167565547804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-60996902884850523312012-04-18T19:17:58.383-04:002012-04-18T19:17:58.383-04:00Anonymous--Thanks for bringing that to my attentio...Anonymous--Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

I found a sale on the kind he prefers for $122. <br /><br />This afternoon he called and said one of his boots had a blow-out. IF he could find a repair shop, they'd probably charge $30 to stitch them back up pronto, but there isn't $30 worth of wear left in them, so he had to buy a pair where he's working (Bass Pro) for $105. We know little to nothing about this new brand and hope they hold up for the 6 months he's used to.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the first pair is en route. We won't send them back because he'll need them in about 6 months anyway, and by then, they may not be on sale anymore.<br /><br />Just consider us "stocked piled" on work boots.Annie at Haphazard Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697469094043846339noreply@blogger.com
