Bring It On!

This morning, I decided I had better take advantage of the last few hours of decent weather in order to get ready for the coming storm. I did a load of dishes, checked into the SATERN net on 40 meters, took a quick run to the grocery store for a few little things, dug out the snow shovel, put fall decorations in the minibarn...then figured I should go to AutoZone for new windshield wiper blades.

Got the blades. I even tipped the gal $5 for putting them on for me. (I wasn't the only one getting new blades, BTW. Seemed like everyone was!) As I was pulling out of the parking lot, I noticed that the blade on the passenger side wasn't even touching the windshield, in places. Maybe it just needs a little tweaking, I thought to myself. I'll check it when I get home and return it tomorrow, if it isn't right. Well...it WASN'T right. It was defective, obviously bent. Then my feeble brain began to wonder what I was thinking about taking it back tomorrow. Tomorrow? Tomorrow when it will be cold, blowing 40 mph winds, and snowing? I don't think so! Thus, I got back in the car and drove back to AutoZone where they promptly gave me a replacement blade. All of this before lunchtime. Now I am ready for a nap. Let it snow!
