Country:  | 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.

Country:  | 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.

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...

Country: | 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....

Country: | 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.

Country: | 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.

Country: | 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
