At the Ford Dealership...

Well, You may be surprised that we are not on the West side of Columbus, OH by now - as our itinerary prescribed. We're instead at the Marietta, Ohio Ford dealership getting the transmission coolant hose on Dan's truck replaced. We discovered the problem yesterday, but it was too late to get it handled so we carefully drove this far and are very happy to be now in the waiting room at the dealership. We are very thankful that 1) they had the part in stock 2) The Service Manager jumped us to the front of his line for service. I have to wonder if this treatment is a product of the 'nicer' Mid-west attitude, and if a dealership on the East Coast would have been so accommodating to a couple to transients. While waiting here, we'll run some calculations to figure out what our adjusted speed needs to be for the rest of the trip to get us to Jerry's on time to hunt tomorrow am. More on this later...
