Toad Ii Comes Home

We weren't planning to do much of anything today except go to Costco. But a little after two o'clock we got a call from Custom Body saying that Toad II was ready to come home. We tried to gas the loaner car, but it barely took a gallon of gas, even though we had done a lot of driving around town. We drove over to Enterprise on Division to return the loaner and they in turn took us over to Custom Body on Monroe.

Toad II looks very nice - they did a good job of of painting and blending in the new bumper and fender. They asked if we wanted to keep the odd ball rim the tire shop in Arizona had procured, but we told them to go ahead and send it to their aluminum recycling. The final price on the repairs was about eight hundred dollars higher then the estimate, which fortunately National Insurance will pick up. I had taken along a thousand dollar check to pay our deductible, but the rest of the $3800+ bill belongs to the insurance company. I must admit, the claim was certainly handled expeditiously.

We went directly from the body shop out to Costco. I have been wanting to replenish our meat supply as we were basically down to a package of lamb chops and a few chicken wings. I really think Spokane needs one more Costco warehouse. There are two in town, but they are always extremely crowded, no matter what day of the week you go. But, Forry did get his Polish dog for dinner. He does love those things!
