Started off the week wrong when my wife broke the extending passsenger side towing mirror that has the turn indicator inside the mirror. The local shop wanted $729 at first, dropped to $529 plus labor when the mechanic said he would take off his part mark up. I picked one up from a parts recycler. (Love that term. Sounds so much nicer than junk yard) It will end up costing us $290 for the part, shipped, plus an hour labor. No big deal, just sharing the wealth. My wife hasn't been feeling well for a few days now. She has an appointment today with her EN&T doctor. She woke me up at about 3:00 AM in terrible pain from coughing and choking the past day or so. She said "I have to go to the Emergency Room now! I can't take it anymore." Got there at 3:45 AM. No line, no waiting in the lobby. Head scan, throat scan, chest x-ray and blood work. On our way home by 7:15 AM. That should cost at least a couple of hundred dollars. [jk]. Now I feel like I'm coming down with something. Sonofabitch.
