[Northkeep] GNG

[Jerry and Teresa Herring]

Greetings Northkeep,
My sincere apologies for missing the Grub and Garb. The fault for us missing 
the evenings festivities was completely mine. After spending all day in 
Pryor with a friend at Robert's Dodge dealership, around 5 PM they finally 
came thru with a diagnoses for my problem with the tail lights. Based on the 
findings the tech said that they could not stand behind their claim to make 
good on fixes after having worked on the truck once already for this 
purpose, because they had not touched that part in their previous service to 
the vehicle. My trucks Main Lighting Control Module has burned out possibly 
as a result of the bad blinker switch that was in it to begin with. During 
the course of a couple of hours I spoke with pretty much the whole 
management staff at the dealership till finally after much "heated debate" 
they agreed to fixing the truck and all I am paying for it is the part. 
Since they did not catch the problem the first time. The part although 
expensive is not going to be as expensive as the labor charges and the $75 
per hour they were trying to charge me for the new diagnoses after already 
having paid for such a diagnoses that failed to locate the problem on the 
previous Friday when they failed to fix my tail lights and still told me 
they were fixed. After a difficult time dealing with the car dealership I 
finally got to come home, with out even a loaner vehicle, since it was so 
late in the day all the loaners were out and they could not drive me home 
because Fort Gibson is out of their delivery range...So a little less than 
satisfied I left and one of my old work buddies from Pryor drove me home.

The shop will call me when the truck is ready, I do not yet know when that 
will be(since I am only paying for the part I guess they get to take their 
own sweet time). This ongoing issues means that we may not be at Chemin Noir 
populace tonight, hopefully it will be fixed so that we can drive the truck 
to Dionader. I do apologize for missing the GNG and especially missing time 
with all of you. After the issues this last weekend with the truck and now 
these continuing ones I have not been as happy and fun to be around. I hope 
by this weekend to be in a better mood. We will be at the Demo regardless of 
the truck situation I just wanted to let folks know why we were not there 
last night and why we may not be there tonight. If you need us for anything 
before Saturday please give us a call on our cell phones or send an email.

I do need to ask if there is someone in Northkeep who can fetch the Baronial 
Trailer to Bartlesville on Saturday in Time to have it there for the event 
set up in the morning and then bring it home afterwards and if there is a 
place that it can be stored in Northkeep other than Zahava's driveway?

Also what happened at last nights fighter practice?

Kindly,
Ian
