You know what felt even better, was only taking 4 hours to get everything done instead of all day riding the bus. LOL. That U-Haul truck didn't stop at every corner to pick people up or drop someone off. Yes, the power chair was disabled by a city bus driver. Not on purpose, but the chair worked fine when i went on the bus, but it got caught on something after the driver unhooked the restraints from the back of the chair. It would not move after that, and the driver and a fellow passenger had to push it off the bus. So I filed a claim against the city since they own the bus company. I have no clue how long it will take, but I see no reason to pay for something they did. Although, I am on the fence about charging them for the U-Haul rental. I should though, as I never would have needed to rent it if they did not damage the chair.

good luck with the reimbursal. At least you got it fixed beforehand and not having to wait on them to pay to get it fixed.

Yeah, I figured it would take weeks, if not months to get anything back from the city, and I did not want to wait that long.

Hiya truckers, I hope all is well. At least Jim made some progress and has some disability scratch.

How's our best girl Donna? I think she is working so much that she has little time for the computer. Hey Donna, how are you all? Are the kids feeding the horses and all that?

Did you get that new bike yet? I think you will like it. It is a good looking bike and probably just your size too. Get your old man to take some pictures of you on it, OK?
Post em up for us.

Hey Pat, If you don't have weird weather you don't have any weather at all! Yeah, call Amazon and tell them to send out five more mirrors in case you buy a fleet of trucks.

Yo Craig, you have a new place near Tonopah? Cool. I figure that is the center of the universe, right? What's the story on the property?

Jim, good luck with that. If it's anything like Omaha, you should see that reimbursement (if at all) sometime in 2021.

Goodmorning all,
Happy Thursday!
Bruce - We're doing good. The kids are typical teens...big & bratty. Lol All of the animals are good & between Jimmy & the kids, they take turns feeding the horses, dogs & cats.
I hope to get my new bike on Saturday, but it depends on the weather. I'll be sure to post pictures when I get it.

Time to get ready for work. Have a great day!

Happy thirsty Thursday Nevada FTE and friends.

Well, if the city turns down my claim, I will just take them to small claims court. Of course that in itself will take two years.

Jim

So, remember this from yesteday? Well, along with the 5 then sent me Tuesday, 4 more showed up last night!! I was on the phone with Amazon for an hour. They are sending me return shipping tags, but I bet there will be more on the porch tonight, since their status showed that they hadn't shipped yet when I called last night!

It's a good thing that you didn't order children..... you'd have a dozen teenagers by now.
