What A Weekend

I survived another weekend. It’s pretty sad when you have to make it through the weekend rather than enjoy it. Oh well, I made it anyway. The weekend started out great. I got home on Friday and watched the last of the Star Wars movies. It was about this time that I started feeling terrible again. This was the onset of a Cold. I don’t know what it is about the Fall, but without fail I get sick. I know it’s not allergies this time. Nothing, of note and that I can remember, really happened on Friday.

Saturday was split. It started out horrible. I took my car in to get serviced at Larry H Miller Honda. He should change his slogan from “You know this guy” to “You’ll hate this guy”. Terrible service is all I have had since my friend stopped working there. It is pretty sad when you have to know someone that works there in order to get good service. I took my car in for an oil change an alignment. Pretty routine you would thing. Wrong! I got there at 8 AM when they opened. Checked my car in and let them know what I wanted. I was told it would be one and a half hours for my car to be done. I tried to call for someone to pick me up as I did not want to wait. I could not get a hold of anyone, so I decided to wait it out. I had a book, I just started Star Wars (the one that takes place after Episode VI), so I though I would be OK. I waited, and then waited some more. It’s finally 9:30 and I am told that everything was finished and they were putting the car back together. They also say that I had a bent strut and they needed to fix it. I waited some more. Half way through my book and close to 11:30 they finally tell me the car had been done, they just “forgot” to call me to the front to pay. Ridiculous! Yeah, I probably should have went and told them what was up and how long I waited, but I had no idea what was going on and if it was still being worked on. A little courtesy update wouldn’t have hurt. This is also not the first time I have been “hosed” by said dealership. I complained and luckily they gave me the tire balancing and rotation for free and a future oil change for free. Consumers beware! Think really hard before ever doing business with Larry H Miller. I have heard several similar, and often worse, complaints about his dealerships and business. I would only do business with him again if it was a last resort or I was getting a serious discount.

I salvaged what was left of the day and hurried and got my wife’s prescription and ran a few other errands before I met my family to go to our family reunion. The reunion was really fun and I had a great time. Normally I am not too fond of reunions, but there were fun games and good food. I was among fond company and you can’t ask for much more. Unfortunately, it wasn’t all happy news. I found out that my Grandma was hospitalized earlier that morning. Sadly I did not get many details and do not know her current state. I am hoping to visit her on Monday. I will let you know when I get more news.

Sunday, was spent in misery. My cold had reached its peak agony point. I didn’t feel like doing anything other than sit in front of the TV and computer. Cold medicine helped a little to ease the pain, but it was otherwise pretty terrible.

Football did very little to ease my troubled condition. The Chiefs lost their 3rd straight game and are now 0-3. Terrible! My fantasy football team (MWM) did no better and were utterly shellacked. I experienced my worst loss yet. I still have two players playing in the Monday night game, but unless a huge miracle happens I am going to lose. It has not been a good year in football. I need Dick Vermeil to wave his magic hand and make everything better. I know the Chiefs will get out of their slump. It is hard to have faith though. I will continue to try. As for my Fantasy Team, I need to make some better start/bench decisions and find some starters on the waiver wire that can get my team back to respectable status. It’s hard being a former champion, but I know the Chiefs and I will prevail. Talk to you later Hippies.
