Sending parts back..

I have several helmets to ride the motorcycle with and brought two of them with me this winter... And one of them is a full faced flip up helmet that I wear on cold mornings and days when I ride long distances...

And I have been wearing it on these cold days here in Arizona..  And that is what has allowed me to ride in the upper forty degree afternoons... But today, I went out at about 2 PM and it was just barely 40, even though it was sunny and bright...

I was headed over to the post office  to return one of the brake pedals I ordered and the temp kept bouncing back to 39 so I had taken the car... No sense in freezing completely even with the big helmet.

The brake pedal needed to be packed back up and the company had to be called to get a return number.....  I just hate it when stuff isn't right, because it is such a procedure to send anything back...  But it was my fault for not reading the product description well enough as it clearly stated that the pedal required their replacement arm to go along with it...

It took about 2 hours to pack and ship the whole deal  all just to get $32.95 back.... And if they think I hurt it any there will be a 20% restocking fee....

Other than that, we had a quiet day here as Loyce worked on her fabric projects and I came home and read the internet, until a nap came about..

Tonight we made another home made pizza and the grand kids called Loyce on her iphone using a video app...  We enjoyed that a great deal..  And then after bed time, my younger son Ben called and we talked about the Denver football loss, and the new motorcycle and and and .....

Now its way late at night and I don't have enough sense to go to bed, because I had that nap.....

  1. I had to laugh when I saw the title of your blog today... many of the blogs lately have been of health problems... so first thing came to mine was Judy sending her hip back to be fixed... Clark's ramblings sending his knees back.. heck, I just sent my innards back.... etc etc... I know we all wish we could have just boxed the defective part up and sent it back. Glad yours was just the brake pedal

  2. There appears to be a ray of hope on the horizon for the southwest cold weather to end, Rod. I heard it may go all the way up to 70F by Thursday. That used to be considered a cool day last year!
