I slept sitting up half the night because of my cough. James left early this morning. He is so busy running two jobs, plus he is looking at a truck in north Phoenix today.
I went to Sears today to get my car lubed. I left it at 11:30 and went to the mall. By 2:30 they still had not called me to say it was ready so I called them. Yes it was ready, they forgot to call. What did I do at the mall for 3 hours. I bought a teriyaki chicken with chow mein noodle bowl at Panda Express and I read my two magazines and listened to my scriptures and did some people watching. I was a little discouraged when I picked up my car. The guy says it needs a 120,000 mile checkup which he estimated would cost somewhere between 400 and 500 dollars. I also need Erik to check the brakes. It's always something.
Dallin and Michael are participating in the Chandler Rotary Track Meet. It is one of the biggest track meets in the southwest and all the schools in Arizona are invited along with many from other states. Chandler has the number one track team in the nation for both boys and girls.
James left to take his rental truck back to Tempe around 3:30. I followed him. Alex, Ben and Max are all with me as they want to go back to the cabin. After turning the rental truck in we all drove to north Phoenix where James picked up the truck he bought. I had gone by Chase bank and got a cashier's check for $16,000. The truck is a 2010 Dodge Ram crew cab 4x4 that only has 71,000 miles. The boys made jokes about how something must be wrong with it for grandpa to get it at that price. Well there was something wrong. Whenever he hit a bump at high speed it would start massive vibrations and he found it hard to hold it on the road. He said it happened four or five times. Hopefully it will be something minor to fix. Out of the frying pan into the fire.
Brian, Kim and Joe were waiting for us at the cabin. It's good to be home.
