Glory ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've had a clutch blow before, I know what it feels like as it is going. There's also this smell.
There certainly is. What IS that? I go into a panic whenever I get a whiff of it (though my clutch is still very tight), generally when I'm trying to do something in reverse or very carefully in first.
I'm at the office.
After messing up my back shoveling out the drive, I told Hubs he could do the rest (at the time, mostly sidewalks). What with the wind, he decided to wait until sundown, when everything had frozen solid. Including what the plows had dumped on, yes, our driveway.
It was interesting getting onto the road this morning. Though not like yesterday's "getting-stuck-in-the-road" way.
(I'm really hoping for someone to tell me that clutches can do this just when they get hot and no, I didn't fry it by this one time thing, but ahhhhrg. I'm not that hopeful.)
Be carefull out there. Yikes.
I totally read the link as check your panties, and clicked. Then found that the 2 jars of peanut butter I just bought a couple days ago have that product code. Bother.
the main roads and commuter rail lot weren't bad. If only these gail force winds would depart the way of the precipitation, it wouldn't be that bad out.
I know, I'm being a baby, but I am really worried about slipping and falling on the sidewalks. I mean, it happens a lot around here in the winter and I still go about my day, but... I don't know. I just had a bad feeling about it today.
The smell was probably old cruddy oil boiling off the heated parts, and the mushiness was actually the road conditions.
But it's not a burning oil smell. I know that one too. This is hot clutch smell! sobs
sarameg, I hope for the simplest outcome.
I figured it was weird to tell Matt to check his panties, so I reread. Not my brand of peanut butter. Yay! Not that I haven't been having gastrointestinal distress of my own. But I think that's just migraine related.

How did they not know their ad was irritating right off? Even the new ads that say the old one was irritating? Irritating.

The first one is especially great.
I skidded about my front porch, and skidded up to my car (10 feet away), and tried to get at the scraper in the front footwell, and discovered that all four doors were so securely frozen that I could not open a single one.
I used my keys to chip away enough ice from the windshield to show my parking permit and crossed my fingers the parking cops would have mercy. (You're supposed to clear your car within a day of the snow, but, 90% of my street was stuck in the wheels-froze-to-the-ground situation, so I think there will be general mercy. Also, where would they put the parking ticket! My car is 1.5" of ice all over every surface.)
Tonight, there will be hot kettle action, in the interest of actually getting inside my car.
