As fate would have it, we were on the way to the doctor and my wife was looking in the rear view mirror as we got off the parkway and started to slow down. When we topped the slope, there it was. Sprawled across the entire lane was a large piece of metal, and it took out our transmission as we passed over it. We had to sell it for $500. Pay for a wrecker, and the kind man we use for insurance paid that back.
We talked. We are retired and not working, but we chose to buy a new Colorado truck. They wanted five grand to replace the transmission on a 2000
C1500.
The salesman said we could download our manual. Told him we don't scan and print, please get us a manual. Buy a new truck and none of them have manuals in the glove compartment. Gee whiz.
Finally hit 3000 miles, so took it to be serviced at our local friend's place.
Drove by the place we bought it from, and the salesman was not there.
I just told another salesman we bought a truck 3000 miles ago from there.
He showed me the screen on his computer and copied how to get there to download an owners manual. Went to the computer as we got home, went through the motions, and it says it is 370 pages to download. What?
The salesman said we could BUY a real manual. Buy one? It will take a few days to get it(they don't have any manuals there). Fifty bucks. They are even on eSmay for fifty bucks. I had to tell the salespeople that were there with me what was on my mind. Here we go.
To end it, I said that was CHEAP business traits. Told them I refuse to do any doctor appointments and/or papers to be filled out. I just go by and pick up the papers and take them back when filled out.
For my post surgery visits, had to fill in the blanks for each visit on a kiosk. Same questions. If I want to see the surgeon. Like that at even the dentist now.
With the warnings to NOT put your private information on a computer, they now are asking the opposite. Think it funny how Vegas could be almost shut down. The Healthcare facility we normally use was closed down and had to pay big bucks to get away from the hackers. "Put your information on the computer. The sites are safe." Not me. I may be on computers here and there, but not by choice.
They used to label people as lone wolves. Where have all the smiles gone?
Guess to the smiley face. I liked the good old days. 370 pages.
