My end of season golf tournament is scheduled for today.
or at least it was until the course got 5" of rain yesterday.
The back nine is basically under water.
The front nine is soggy as a wet sponge.
guess I'll go to work. sonofa.....

My Gl550 has these plastic fender flare/extenders on the wheel arches.
Some idiot ( we needn't mention names) couldn't navigate into the garage correctly with them installed.
So he took them off, with the garage door frame.
Subsequently he bought replacement arches from mercedes and carried them to the local body shop to have them painted to match the vehicle.
They looked at the car and the parts, took photos left right and center including the VIN and paint code and gave me a quote.
The quote looked reasonable so we made an appointment for this morning.
Diligently dropped the car with parts yesterday and my wife dropped off the keys this morning and signed the paperwork.
For he record the same body did a fender flare on the other side when the same idiot took off one on that side.
AN hour and a half later I get a call from the shop. "we don't do this kind of work."
What? No we only do complete repairs and we don't paint customer supplied parts....
WTF???? AAAAAAAAAAAArrghghh yes I'm pissed for wasting my time.
Perhaps I could have seen if they were a dealer repair center or some highline place but this isn't.
They do lots of repairs with used parts out of junkyards, but they get the uplift.
time to yelp 'em

The Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association on Wednesday announced its fees would increase to $220 per vehicle effective July 1st; the highest ever. Michigan is unique among states in that it has unlimited lifetime medical coverage for those involved in auto crashes. In 1978 it was $3! Michigan has the highest auto insurance in the nation. The average for full coverage for a single, 40-year-old male who commutes 12 miles per day was $2,239 in Michigan, as compared to a $1,365 national average.

Jerry, at least that does not discourage you from having a collection of auto's. Michigan has the worst roads in the country, the highest insurance in the country, the heaviest 18-wheeler allowed in the country, and . . . . and they call this a car-loving state (
).

I hate company's that call you and ask that you call a specific person back because they have the background on the subject - - but they do not offer you any direct number. So here I sit wasting a nice afternoon because I called their only incoming number for our account, and wait while the CS person sends a email to the specific person to let them know I called back, so they in turn can call me back. Who else but insurance companies and companies that act as go-betweens for insurance companies could come up with such a plan.
