Ford Ranger still at G. Stone, where they are fabricating two small parts for which Ford wanted $375 apiece! Also, the mechanic broke the ABS sensors (a $150 item times two) when taking the front hubs apart. Not really his fault – the truck has some major corrosion issues and the sensors were frozen tight. Suspect my wallet is going to feel some major pain before I drive the truck back to Fern Lake. Return to Virginia via Old Saybrook, CT. No dramas if you discount the two cars that tried to merge into the same lane on I-95 from opposite sides – right in front of us. Close but no cigar. Moderate construction delays in Vermont added an hour to that segment; typical inexplicable NJTP traffic delays added an hour to that segment.
