Progress at last???

So, still in San Bernardino at the moment. Called Freightliner this morning and they said truck was ready. This is starting to sound familiar. So we go down and they say that they measured it and nothing was wrong. ARGH!! So, AGAIN we get the shop foreman out there to look at it. FINALLY we get someone that knows what he is doing. He looks at it and says that they measured the frame, which we knew, and that the frame wasn't the problem, which we knew. He said it was the cab (Newsflash....) and that the truck needed to go to the Freightliner BODY SHOP, not the mechanics shop, to get fixed. GREAT. We have been down since Tuesday night. So, we have them put on the work order that it has to go to the body shop to be repaired per the shop foreman, because I am beginning to think the people in Green Bay (Corporate) are going to think that we have lost our mind. At least we are finally getting somewhere. So we take the the truck over to the body shop about 10 miles away. We talk to someone there and tell him, and show him, what the problem is. He assures us that we are at the right place and that they can get it fixed. Thank goodness!! So hopefully tomorrow we will get a call from them telling us that the truck is finally ready!

Anywho, since we are stuck here with a rental car, today we went down to West Hollywood and found High Voltage Tattoo, from the series LA Ink. Tomorrow they are open to the public so we may go down there and see if we can get a tattoo without an appointment. During the week they are only open from 9pm-midnight because they are filming during the day. Then we drove up to the HOLLYWOOD sign and took pictures, then drove from there all the way down Sunset Blvd to Santa Monica and hit the Santa Monica Pier (Ocean Park) and killed some time. Did the complete tourist thing. But it was completely worth it. This has been the most relaxing day in AGES.......
