I'm glad to have been of service to you. It looks as though you enjoyed showing up the tech as much as installing the hitch. kudos to you my friend.

You absolutely were, and I absolutely did. I especially enjoyed returning to the garage and tipping the tech $20 who "assisted" me during the installation while the lazy turd who moaned about the whole deal couldn't help himself from watching as he rotated a set of tires in the next bay.

I've got absolutely no problem with "I don't know..." or "We don't do that kind of work here." But the way they "yessed" me in, only to waste 90 minutes of my time and to have to make another trip just chafed my keester. And with gas as expensive as it is, the 20 mile round trip isn't just $.98 anymore, it's $3.00 they never seem to hesitate costing others, but are loathe to give up of their own. It's that kind of apathy that makes me shake my head at the world so often.

So, thanks again for your spot-on and absolutely perfect tip. It made all the difference in me being able to get it done that day. Thanks much.
