Another City Another Garage Another Hotel

Published on November 22, 2008 By MasonM In Blogging

This morning the shop in Cleveland hadn't made any progress on repairing the electrical problem in my truck. They close at 4:30PM on Saturday and don't reopen until Monday morning. As I didn't feel like hanging around for that long I, and our shop manager, decided to just find a 24/7 shop and nurse the truck to it.

I am now in a hotel in Columbus and my truck is being worked on in a real shop. Those guys in Cleveland were a joke.

With any luck they'll have my truck repaired tomorrow and I can be on my way to Texas. I'll wind up being a day late but that's better than nothing.

There's a little bistro next door to the hotel and I went over there for dinner and a couple of brews. It was a nice place and the food was excellent. Now I am just hanging out, knitting, and watching the idiot box hoping that in the morning I'll be on my way again.

Thanks. I checked out of the hotel this morning and hung around the shop all day waiting for my truck. I am now back in the hotel.

You should get a job with Hotel.com. Rating places. At least it would be something to do.
