July 10, 2009.
Finally some progress.
Kevin and I went down to the bike shop to pickup the new master at the auto parts store and we found out that this part is very rare and it would take another day. Great know I will be imposing on Kevin and his wife for another day. He keeps assuring me that there is not a problem but I don’t like to impose. I suggest that I will find other accommodations but Kevin will not hear of it.
Kevin and I headed down to the bike shop to pick up the old master that that the truck shop mistakenly installed along with the one my new mechanic removed to return. Kevin has had issues with the truck shop in the past when they did bad work on one of his dump trucks. We picked up the removed master and head over to the truck shop to get a refund. We pulled up out front and I thought that I should get some video of the difference of the port size on the master between the original and the replacement. While I was doing that Kevin went inside to talk to an old high school buddy behind the service counter. Kevin was keeping his cool at that point in time but that would change when the owner of the truck shop initially refused to give the charity their money back. Know that the owner, the service manager, and the shop foremen asked if we could go upstairs and talk about the problem and we did. When we got upstairs the service manager insisted that they would warranty their work but I pointed out that if I had a roofer do my roof and the roof leaked I would not have him back to do more of the same. After I pointed out that we are a charity and that we needed that money to have another shop fix it properly, they said no. Kevin freaked out in the office, it was something to see. They were not happy but they agreed to return the charities money. We headed back to the bike shop to let them know that the part would be in the next day.
When Sharon got home that night to see me still there, let’s just say she was polite but this would be the last night I would be staying in the house no mater what Kevin said.
We hit the sack early to get a jump on the next big day.
