Wonderful mood

As my sister could tell you, the climate knob on my Jeep broke. So, it was stuck on Air, which isn't bad for the summer, but I cringed to think about this winter driving around with AC blowing.

Anyway the dealership is a rip off. Yes, I remember when they wanted to charge me $3000 just to LOOK at my Jeep. Parts and labor would be more of course. Oh, and did I mention that there wasn't anything seriously wrong with it? I just wanted my 4 wheel drive checked out and make sure it was working properly. So, I wouldn't send my worst enemy there. Okay, so I don't have a worst enemy, but if I did, I wouldn't send them to that dealership.

Sorry for babbling, on to the story....... So I needed a new knob. I found out that these knobs run about $20. I was desperate enough to consider going to this dealership, and then I thought..... Hum...... I wonder if I could buy one on eBay.

I searched on ebay, found a knob for a 1999 Jeep Wrangler and there it was. So, I bid, won, paid, and it arrived today. Put it on my Jeep, and now it works PERFECTLY. Not bad for only $8.

Then my cell phone's been acting up lately. I can only talk for about 3 min, if that even before the battery dies, and that's with a complete charge. Then when I turn it back on, it says I have a full charge. Strange..... So, I went to the cell phone store and asked for a new battery. They looked me up, and my phone was still under warranty. They replaced my battery free of charge.
I'm a very happy camper.
