NOW, with Less Whining!

…Guffaw in AZ !

I’m certain you recall a couple days ago, when I posted about various problems in my life, most-recently the failed front passenger seat electric window in my car.

Half open (or half closed) depending on your point-of-view.  (My POV was it’s f*****!)

WELL, this morning, I went out, anticipating a short drive, and diligently removed the opaque black trash bag from that car door window, increasing my visibility, lest I be cited for driving as if my car were a pirate or had lazy eye.

The window was still at half mast, as it was before the rain.  Sigh.

I turned the ignition, opened the driver door window, and reflexively triggered the passenger side switch, yet again, knowing full well it was broken and my action was a pointless effort.

And the window closed!

A cheer went up – I think it was from ME!

Not being one to take stupid chances, I DID NOT run the window up-and-down, but left it closed.  Where it shall remain, evermore.

Now if I could just get my meds from the pharmacy easier…

    • Thanks.
      Sadly this is a chronic problem with older GM cars. My two rear windows no longer function, and are stuck partially open.
      Duct tape is my friend.
      The ONLY reason my driver’s door window works is I had that mechanism replaced when a shattered window was replaced. Can’t afford the others.

1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.

FEAR

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - Bene Gesserit, from Frank Herbert's Dune
