Yesterday, a B25 flew over our house, I heard it, but couldn't see it (my wife could, and yes, she knew what it was ) Today a Spitfire flew over my house and again I didn't see it. Hopefully I have better luck next time.

What annoyed me?????

Nothing annoyed me! Instead something pissed me off!!!!

So after work today, me and my wife are driving my Jeep to a local beer garden to meet some friends and socialize. Anyhow all of a sudden I get a noise coming from my car. I think to myself "Oh well, we are allmost there. As soon as I get there, I will pop the hood and take a look."....

....30 seconds later the noise is gone.

Great right?

No!

Guess what else is gone?

Power Steering!

You know what that means? The belt is broke!

I pull off the side of the road and pop the hood and sure eneogh the belt is wrapped up on the ground. The tensioner pully had a rim break off and the belt came off!

Damn I am pissed! I wanted to drive to Munich tomorrow with my wife and see the Munich zoo!

What am I doing now instead. Going and buying a pulley and a belt so I can fix my car!

Damn it!

Oh well better here in town, than on the Autobahn to Munich. Atleast it is a cheap and easy fix.

Excuse me as-shole???

Do you know anything about cars? If you try and drive a car without the belt you will overheat the engine and destroy it!

The Powerstearing loss was just how I knew what the problem was before I even popped the hood!

So do not even try to go there.

Maybe you should shut your pie whole...

Wasn't enough that my U/16 team was getting beaten today in basketball, the opposition started being smart about it. I really hate bad sportsmanship by teams that are winning and better and then rub it in your faces....

Adler I feel your pain mate, cars can be a pain in the @ss sometimes. Well I am not used to power steering. It is nice, but I like my normal steering with my Vdub Caddy pick up.

Having to go to work, was just not in the mood.

Who the EFF ever is in the mood to work, Henk? That's why they pay you. Work sucks. Compensation for your life energy.

Annoyed me? Warm beer.

Oh yes Matt, I will agree with you on everything you said and a warm bee or even a flat beer sucks.

Adler,

It's safe to come out now, right? A mite techy on the trigger, aint'cha? I guess I better watch my 'pie-whole' around here...

Umm...while my professional career as a mechanic was restricted to motorcycles, I have worked on dozens of cars, and not all of them use the serpentine belt system. Not that I've ever worked on a late model Jeep...

Anyway, glad you've chilled a bit, and I hope you didn't have too much trouble gettin' your belt on. Those things can be a worse pain than me

JL
