Repairs Made

Well, we are close to leaving Elkhart after our repairs. The body work and paint were completed today. We talked to the shop owner about repairing a crack we have in our granite counter top. He said in order to have it done right there is a specialist in town that does this kind of work and it doesn’t look patched. It’s under warranty, so no cost to us. Unfortunately, the guy can’t do it until Wed afternoon. So we are paying $35/night for 3 nights waiting for this guy to come out and do the repairs. I also had some problems with my truck. A couple days ago the speedometer, tach, oil pressure, water temp, radio, and cig lighter quit working. I suspected a fuse, but couldn’t find a bad one. I took it to the shop today and it turned out to be one fuse labeled "clock". It cost me $50. I told the mechanic I felt stupid, but he said they never should have labeled it "clock. He also said later model Kenworths don’t have all those guages going to one fuse anymore. I figured they charged me $1.00 to change the fuse, and $49.00 to know what fuse to change.
