Whatado evraybody, whatado.
Ran into town get some groceries before the weekend rush really got started. When I came out of the store, I was met with a deluge in the parking lot. Happily, I didn’t have much, so I made the dash but still got a bit soaked.
I could see there was blue sky coming in behind this cell, but all I could see towards Bigfork was black clouds. So I’ve got the wipers going on high and the heater seems to be working, then it’s not, then it is and then I smell anti-freeze and my windshield starts fogging up. I hit the flashers, then the windshield vent control and I’ve got a little clear strip to see thru at the bottom of the windshield as I slow down and pull over, some.
This stretch of road doesn’t have shoulders to speak of, just grass and the barrow pit. But I can see a greenhouse operation about 2 tenths of the mile ahead, so I creep along dodging the fog reflector posts until I got to a wide spot I knew was opposite their road.
I always have a bar rag in the seat next to me as an all-purpose napkin, spill sopper so I cleared the window, turned off the blower and opened the front windows. The rain was letting up and the wind helped dry the windshield. I pulled back into traffic and made it home with no idiot lights making their presence known.
I wasn’t planning on going anywhere this weekend other than a dump run tomorrow but that can wait and if it’s not raining tomorrow, I’ll pop the hood and see what I can see, maybe top off the radiator. Then do a little research on-line and call the Honda dealer on Tuesday.
So, other than that, looking forward to a quiet weekend of typical, variable holiday weekend weather, plus the Indy 500.
Don’t forget to pour one out for those who died in service to our country.
