Up to now the expenses on the old truck were tires and their rotation ($1400 for six,) fuel ($160 a tank,) yearly registration and smog test ($300,) and liability insurance. He WAS however, faced with a $4500 repair bill for the current problem, the possibility of a $700 fuel pump, and a few other things inherent with the age of the old truck.
The new truck has a three year warranty on it for repairs, so that he only has to pay a $100 deductible. He will figure it all out for himself, and come to terms with it for what it is.
I’m just glad he doesn’t have to rely on his motorcycle to get to work. It is cold and windy and has been since Saturday. Saturday night, we had a horrendous rain and wind storm that deposited snow on Mt. Charleston, for the first time in almost two months. It is cold and windy out right now, and I don’t want to be out in it. If it weren’t for the doctor’s appointment at 0830, I would be safe and snug in my own place.
No worries.
Good news about the truck. I hope things go well at the doctor.
I let Frank go outside this morning, since he’s been symptom-free since Saturday. Pat and Kathleen are still pending.
