I made a short flix about roof raking, this after most of the snow is gone and the second time we did it.  Hope you like it.

What a day!

It was a below zero night, still below zero on Wednesday morning when we were going to go meet Julia's parents for lunch.  Running late, I opened the passenger side, reached through, put my spare key in the ignition, turned and heard RRRR....nothing.  With the battery dead, Julia called her parents, who had left home already, then called the resturuant to give them a heads up while I got  out the charger and the long extension cord.  Plugged in the cord, got the hood up, went to put the clamp on the battery, snap...it broke off and fell under the battery deep into the fender housing where it was unreachable.  Remember what my dad would do, I went to get a clamp, stripped the wire and used a wood clamp to hold it on the battery post.  Ten minutes later the battery was charged enough to start old faithful, yes I know I need a new battery but for now I can get around, as to the clamp, it will either stay there or I will have to disassemble the fender.  OH fun!

Why did this curl??

This is the wiper blade from the back of the van, why did it curl?

As you can see the  blade is still straight but the spring on the mounting hardware is so strong that it only touchs the glass at the ends, making it useless.  I could not figure it out or make it correct and they don't make them this small anymore, which okay as I did not want to buy a new one. 
When I buy blades I get a set and replace both, if one of the old ones isn't shot I hang it on a nail out in the building just in case I might need it.  Well I needed it, again I get something fixed for free (MY Favorite price).  Can you Doug it?

For Odd

My left arm aches like I have tennis elbow, I hold a racket with my right, so where does it  come from as I haven't played for a long time.  To solve the problem I wear a watch with a tight band on that wrist for a few hours.  Can you Doug it? 
My left leg has had a ton of problems from assorted injuries over the years.  Doctor says the muscles are bending it wrong at the knee, so it acts up from time to time.  To get this thing to work right where it wants to rebel I put on knee pads that I got to work on the studio and they push everything back into the correct space.  So a little persuasion and everything is good for days... Can you Doug it??
