The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!

[Running Bear]

Seems like hardly anything has gone right for me today. Maybe Murphy got mixed up and thought this was Friday the 13th instead of Friday the 14th. This morning I called nine prescriptions in to the pharmacy. Used to be Don's Family Pharmacy. Don passed on last year and his daughter ran the pharmacy for a while but it kept stirring up memories for her. So late last year she sold it to CVS. Well, as I said, I called in nine prescriptions a little after 9am. I was told they'd be ready for pick up at 3pm. I got there a bit after three. I left my van running as it can be a major pain in the butt to start again when the engine is hot. This was supposed to be a quick pick up. Forty-five minutes I'm still there waiting, my van is outside burning valuable gas and they still don't have my meds ready. I was madder than a pack of wet hornets! I told them that if this is a sample of their future service I'll be moving my prescription needs to Walgreen's. I only used Don's because the pharmacist, Don Goins was an old friend of mine. He was never late with my meds and he always had time for some conversation and I never had a problem calling my prescriptions in by phone. This morning it took thirty minutes just to get off hold! If this is what I can expect from them in the future I can just as easily take my business elsewhere. I have other things to do besides waiting overtime for something that should have already been done.

Train wise the only things I got done today was put Kadee wheels on an AHM 40' boxcar and I repaired most of the damage to my antique metal Bachmann 0-6-0. It had a cylinder broken off and one of the steps on the pilot was badly bent and broken on one side. If I try to straighten it the step will probably break off completely. The repair of the cylinder was a simple case of reattaching it with some super glue.

Time for me to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow providing something doesn't screw that up as well.
