Our tax return was deposited into our bank account yesterday--just in time to make a dent in the hostage payment we made to the Ford dealer to get our truck back. Considering they charged us double for a repair that we had made 3 years ago in Washington. Now we have to figure out why our IDM fails or if it's really failing when a wiring harness replacement would have sufficed. Unfortunately, at this point what's done is done.
I must say, the folks around here have been really helpful while we had to have this repair done; the Ford service department did get the repair done fairly quickly, the TT people worked with us to extend our stay at the campground and the Enterprise car rental people were helpful also. The management of the campground where we were supposed to be this week had been willing to forward our mail to us, but the post office just can't be relied upon to get the forwarded mail to us in a timely manner before we move to the next campground. Therefore we drove a lot of miles to go pick it up. Now we can relax for a while.
We have indulged ourselves with eating out three times this week which is not something we normally do. However, we have discovered Santino's Restaurant, 1529 Sunrise Plaza Dr Ste 2 in Clermont (well, actually it's over 12 miles south of town) where everything we ate was wonderful. We tried the pizza, the veal parmesan, the subs, penne pasta with sausage and meatballs and OMG the garlic knots they serve with each lunch/dinner are my favorite! On a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being great? We give them a 6.
Okay, time to find something to do that doesn't cost money.

I am so sorry to hear about the truck. Poo.
And to make you feel worse, we're going to hit 70*-80* this weekend. I'll be at my floating RV (gg).
Hope things return to 'normal' soon.
Darn money anyway.. it always sucks the fun out of things. Must admit I am feeling better that your truck should now be working well.
I am getting hungry with just your telling of Santinos. :-)
