I tell you what......in a fellow BOTL's back yard and not even a cigar......
Hate to hear about the trouble. Funny thing is I know the gas station, the GM guy, and the owner of the dealership you went to. I grew up in Harrison and have been through Alpena many many times(beerruns). On top of that, I work in Bentonville and live about 20 minutes away. I talked to a buddy and he mentioned hearing about some poor guy who lost his keys down the toilet.....small small world. Glad it turned out well.
