While I have been sitting around here today, I have visited the mechanics twice. The first time was earlier this morning when I got three mirrors adjusted and fixed due to broken and missing nuts, and just being hard to adjust on my own. I also got a new pigtail, it handles the electricity for any trailer I haul. Now after sitting for a while, I noticed a puddle of coolant under my truck. I was lucky in that all it needed was a couple of clamps tightened, but it is still irritating to have to go back and get something else done in the same day. It does explain why my coolant was so low this morning though. I also got a new license plate light. It isn't essential, and they rarely replace them, but at night in the rain if I am bobtailing, it is one more light on the back of my cab. It also comes in handy while dropping or hooking a trailer, keeps me from stepping in puddles while pulling the fifth wheel pin or cranking down the trailer's landing gear.
Back to waiting for them to get me out of here. My break will be over in a little less than an hour, but it seems doubtful that they will let me move before four this afternoon.
