Hi everyone. I got my truck back a few hours ago. Been giving her a shakedown run around the lake and on the interstate. I still think she pulls a bit. The repair shop received the wrong style wiper arm for my truck and the rear bumper cap they received was cracked, basically in worse shape than the one currently on my truck. I'll get a call when the shop has those parts in. They'll swap them out while I wait. No kidding! You think I'm leaving my truck with them again? NOT!
This will give me time to call the Big O Tires shop that replaced my ball joint (lower only, so I guess the upper survived) to ask them if the repair shop authorized them to perform an alignment after the ball joint repair. I would think an alignment check would've been done, but after the way this repair shop has treated my truck, I assume nothing. If an alignment was not authorized, I'll have Big O Tires do one anyway.
I pick up my youngest from Eastern Oregon University on Sunday. I don't want any surprises during the round-trip.
Plans for this month...now that I have my truck again, I plan on a camping trip or two and FISHING! I watched a couple of fishing shows on TV this morning. Susi commented the way I was staring at the shows, I needed to go fishing. I think she's right.
Edit:
Oh, I forgot. I promised I'd take my oldest car shopping during her days off. She's still looking for her first car. The one she found and wanted, the dealer would not accept my offers. They finally sold the car to someone who didn't mind paying more than KBB and NADA high value. The search continues.

Thanks, Shaun. It's great to have her back, but she still doesn't "feel" right. I need to figure out if that is true. Or if I'm still mad at the repair shop for taking this long and still not having everything done properly. Hopefully, tomorrow will be the last day I ever have to deal with this place.
I'm tempted to say "F--- it!" and have the alignment rechecked and/or performed at my own cost.

Craig, I swear you and I can write some pretty good sob story's with our luck lately lol. I'm glad you got the truck back, hopefully you will have all the kinks worked out soon and not have to worry about it anymore.
I just did some smoked elk burgers and boy howdy we're they tastey! And home made french fries. I'm stuffed lol.
I may try to go out kayaking here in a bit depending on how the sky looks. We have had some lovely storms the last few days and would hate to be out on a lake when one decides to roll in lol
