The new windshield for my car has been sitting in the parts department for about 2 years... Just never seemed to get around to doing much about it.

 

Recently, one of our young lions got into a position where he owed me a favour... And, today, I dropped the car off at the shop for him to "pay his debt". He would change the windshield for me.

 

Well, that was up until we saw that I've been the proud owner of a brand new cracked windshield for a long, long time....

 

Stercus accidit.....

That reminds me of the time I bought my wife a digital camera kit complete with a printer for Christmas. I bought it in November on sale. She briefly opened the box to inspect it on Xmas day, but never got to the camera layer in the box. She got busy and finally got back to it sometime in the middle of January, only to discover that there was no camera in the box. It took quite a bit of patient persuasion at Staples to get another complete box as the store exchange policy was only one month. There was one complete layer missing from the original box, it turned out, and luckily on opening the new one we could verify this. Posted Image

Went down to Camas, Washington last week to visit some friends for a week. 2 days of driving each way. Booked a room in Spokane for the first night because that was the intended route, Edmonton AB, through Banff, Radium, then down to Spokane. After that, down to the Columbia river via Kenewick and over to Camas. The trip home was not planned, wasn't sure if we wanted to go up to Seattle and over the border by Vancouver or go back the same way as we came down......

 

Well.....Needless to say, we went to Seattle, then crossed over the border at Abbotsford. No hotels there, it's only 10 PM, so onto Hope. Nothing appealling so we pushed onto Merrit, ditto. Next was Kamloops, same thing booked up. Getting close to sun up now. The wife was getting some sleep up to this point, so we switched off and continued up to Jasper then back home to Edmonton.

 

Sometimes it bites back harder than you think, that was the longest any of us have ever been in a vehicle. 1 1/2 days of straight driving.

 

On a plus, my 2002 Windstar with 263,300 KM did not miss a beat.
