About a week ago, we got a warning signal on the dash panel of our 2021 Durango that the right turn signal bulb was out. So, yesterday morning we drove the Durango to the shop where we know the owner and had our other 2005 Durango worked on. We had to leave the Durango there and the shops shuttle driver brought us home.
As we were coming home, we passed an insurance business where multiple Loveland police cars were and officers were talking to employees. Well, it turned out that ICE had been there and made an arrest. Someone, from either that business or another business close by had called Loveland PD to monitor the situation. Loveland PD stated they don't interfere with ICE and highly suggest that the public not either.
Got home and around 1PM, since we hadn't heard from the repair shop, I called them. Well, good reason why we hadn't heard from them, they didn't have our new Colorado phone numbers. They had called our old Henderson number. Anyway, the shop told me that the turn signal bulb was fine. However, some animal, like a mouse or skunk, had chewed thru half of the wiring harness that went to the turn signal. We were told that the coating on the wires has soy (type sauce) on them and that's what those animals like the taste of. The shop clerk showed us a picture of the harness and, sure enough, it was chewed thru halfway. That little animal cost us $193.00 for the repair. A shuttle was sent to our apartment to get us.
After talking with him, I found out, online, that small black snails (invasive type) are being found in Carter Lake (near us). These snails multiple very fast and are very bad for the lake, fish and surrounding environment. Carter Lake doesn't have an Invasive Creature Inspection Station, like Boyd Lake does. Boyd Lake is the lake we have put our boat on before. So, an Inspection Station has been set up by the boat ramps to Carter Lake.
So, what a day, or should I say "interesting day"?
