Up N' Running

Another learning experience with KR (Katrina Rose) yesterday.

Waited until about 11am to hear from Nelson so I just called and talked to Keith. He told me that Shane had the dryer repaired right away but there was no power to the heater for it. Had already spent quite a bit of time tracing the wire. So I got my laptop (which contains the repair manual) and headed down there with the car and the dolly thinking we could get this done and just leave from there.

Well the manual I have is basically worse than having no manual at all. It was scanned poorly and is incomplete. It had us looking for a cicuit that simply doesn't exist! So we finally gave in and Shane ran a new circuit. Had it done in just a few minutes, wrote up the info for billing, and took off for lunch. When they totalled it up, they found that Saturday's road service wasn't on there and we had to wait until Shane got back. Just when we got that info, their computers went down. We waited a total of four hours just for a bill. We decided that we were spending another night at my folks and stopped at my brothers place on the way.

Right now I'm folding laundry and waiting for everyone to get up. But I'm watching the weather and six inches of snow is expected directly across our route to Davenport. This state just won't let me go!
