Baby Steps

Just called the dealership to get a status on things. The backordered seals are no longer backordered. Wonderful! So we're back on track, yes? Well...no.

According to the dealership; "The status in the system is that the seals are off of backorder, and are packed for shipment".

Great, so they're being shipped today?

"There's no way of knowing. Technically, if they're packed for shipping, they should have shipped already. I don't know why they haven't, or what the hold-up is, and there's no way to find out when they will."

There's no way to find out? No method of checking with them to see when they'll go out the door?

"It's the Corporate location, they don't tell us these things."

I see, so it's not you, the dealerships, that crap on us, it's the Corporate location that's to blame. (I didn't say this of course. No sense in ticking them off when they have my transmission in many tiny pieces.)

So anyway, we're inching along slowly at least. (Very slowly.)

Winter has been giving riders an unprecedented reprieve this year, holding off the snow and ice for weeks now. I don't know how much longer it can keep that nasty stuff at bay, though (we just had a snow-sleet storm last night, but it's turned over to rain at this point). The weekend is supposed to be bitter cold, I believe, but precipitation free.

Here's hoping that trend continues!
