| Both of my wagons made it through the hurricane unscathed. Yaaaa! So now the street sweeper throws a stone and hits the windshield of the 91, and it is shattered right in front of the driver's side. This is after the fuel pump quit, and I hurt my arm helping my father do some yard work. I can barely lift my arm to remove the bolts to drop the tank, let alone get the tank down. I have a bunch of parts to pull for different people, and both wagons need work. When is the crap going to stop?...BTW, my insurance notified me that my rate went up $30 per month. | |

| Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how'd you enjoy the play?
Kidding aside, let your arm heal up first. Guys and their parts can wait.

| Breath deep, keep moving. Take care of the important stuff (family and your health). The rest can wait. | |

| Hope your arm gets better Fred. This getting old thing is no fun. I find, for the first time in my life, I have to be very careful if I lean over and lift something relatively heavy, like a bag of mulch. I used to just grab it and go-now, I move it slowly, and make sure to lift carefully using my legs instead of my back. Hopefully it's just a muscle ache, which should sort itself out in a few days. I swear by Alieve when that sort of thing happens to me. | |

| Glad you made it through the hurricane safely, but sorry to hear about the latest frustrations.
As for getting old, I did that compound and wax on the 92 Roady Sedan...the paint was DEAD when I started, and I polished on it for hours. The next morning I could not lift my arms and my back was spasming...it was SILLY. I'm only 43! Ha!
Age is fun stuff. Take Care!

| If you have comprehensive on the 91, windshield glass is a $0 deductible. If not, it's $200
I just had mine done in the 94 by Safelite. Found an online coupon that covered the $25 come to you fee. I think it was 190 out the door and they came to my car.
Sorry bout the arm man, I hate being injured....Hope you heal up quickly. | |

| No comp. The glass replacement is about $185 here, unless it went up. I have to put a new FP in the tank as well.
Latest update...My mom fell this morning, so nothing is getting done for a few days. | |
