Happy Friday everyone...

Pat, you can't leave early unless you call my boss and ask if I can leave early too.

Morning Pat, Steve, Rob and all that visit today.

Rob, it looks like he has already left for a short period according to his post in the NY chapter. Something about LMC screwing up and they sent him the wrong bushings for the leaf springs and he needs to get them cut down.

Yep, Neil's right. Damn LMC. I ordered these things along with that spring bracket, which didn't fit. At least I can just have these trimmed down. Had to run home and get them. Because of that, I won't leave early.

Pat at least you are able to salvage them so you are not out the money for them, but it is a PIA

Yeah. I didn't want to have to send them back, and go through the same crap Rob had to deal with. Plus, I don't need to buy anything else from them, so I didn't want a credit.

Ok, it's time for Rob's Friday Rant! Aren't you all so excited!?!

I've just now added Wells Fargo Bank to my banned list... We recently refi'd our house, old mortgage with Wells Fargo, and the new mortgage also with Wells Fargo. No problems at all with that. After everything was said and done, we ended up with a $36 overrage in our old escrow account, so they sent us a refund check. Thirty-six... not $360, or $3600, but $36.

I was out and about at lunch time, and happened to be right by a Wells Fargo branch office... no problem whip right through the drive up and cash my piddly $36 check. DENIED... They wouldn't cash a check, drawn on their own bank! The snotty manager said it was because I didn't have a checking account with them. She said she would cash it, IF my wife and I both come in person... (Both of our names were on the check, and my wife signed it last night.)

I wish my humor would have kicked in, but I was too dumb-founded at that moment. I would have said something like "Sorry, my wife can't come in person... I've forged her signature, locked her in a closet, and this $36 was my ticket to a new life in Mexico..."

Oh brother...

I'm thinking I should stop at the other Wells Fargo branch after work and try my Mexico story there...

I don't know, it could be that the bank ran out of tax payer money and they just can't honor their own checks?!?
