Finally, something went my way.

[bakerhillpins]

How many times have we (collectively) been on the wrong side of a warranty? Well, finally one went my way. Battery on my commuter car gave up the ghost on Friday. Tested it this weekend and went in to the dealer today as the car is under 2 yrs old. Just as my testing showed, the bat was shot, would not hold a charge. Well the wall to wall warranty on the car is 3yrs/36k....

Car has 35,253 mi on it. Got a free replacement.       Ok, so it was under a $100, but nice to not have to shell it out.

Right on.

Bet that feels good!!

[nvrbdn]

thats a win, someone makin the part must have advanced the "quit working" clock.

[skip68]

Sweet!       
Usually doesn't work out that way for 90% of us.   

[Fred]

Makes your day doesn't it? 

[bakerhillpins]

Certainly was nice that's for sure. Silly how stupid things like "one less thing to worry about" makes all the difference.

[vancamp]

  cool for you, mine never work out like that.

[Fred]

cool for you, mine never work out like that.

Who's does? (with the exception of bakerhillpins...........lucky man)

Maybe this is a sign that everything is going to turn around and go our way from now on!!!  


Then I woke up...

[Fred]

WISHFUL THINKING..........but we can live in hope 

[aussiemuscle]

i've had a battery go dead in 3 months, and the battery had a 6 month warranty!

And what was the outcome? Good news I hope.

Then I woke up...

Never fear! Yesterday, yes one day afterward, our youngest Labrador (dog that is) got ill. Really ill. Yacking 13 times during the day ill. Never had a dog be that ill. Wife came home from work and found 8 piles scattered throughout the house. $250 in vet bills later she seems to be doing better.  Oh, did I mention that the wife usually works from home, and typically only needs to go into the office about 2 days a month.

Paybacks are apparently a real B**ch.

Oh crap (pun intended), sorry, I didn't mean to jinx you...

[bakerhillpins]

No worries.     I am just happy she is ok. 

[nvrbdn]

glad to hear the puppy dog is doing well

[Fred]

Me too, love dogs. 

[bakerhillpins]

Thanks guys. 

Labs, they seem to eat anything that isn't nailed down. 

[Fred]

Our friend's 8 month old Lab swallowed the the wheel of a toy car and it got stuck. AU$2000.00 later the dog is doing fine and the owner's are paying off the credit card.
But what can you do, they're family and family needs looking after.

[nvrbdn]

i gotta tell ya this one. we have 3 small dogs shitzu bishon and maltese. they have a yard fenced off and we leave the door open when its warm so they run in and out. well the neighbors got a new yellow lab puppy that has come over to visit the back yard a few times till the neighbors find it. so one night we were watching t v and heard loud crunching. our three were all sitting in the living room, so the woman that lives in my house turns and looks in the kitchen and there is the yellow lab scarfing at the food bowl. it was pretty funny.

[Fred]

The woman that lives in your house? ?? ??  
Forget about the dog...............tell me about the woman that lives in your house!

[nvrbdn]

that woman, the one that cooks, cleans, makes sure that im content. i always introduce her as the woman that lives in my house.everyone i know, knows my wife as the woman that lives in my house

[Fred]

Ok well I'm no longer intrigued...............we can get back to the dogs now!

Oh and speaking of contentment, the good lady (wife) and I are coming up to 38 years of togetherness this 26th January.
I'm very content indeed.
