    Default Rainey day thoughts #79..

    I had to do my early morning coffee run and it was poring rain outside, So i had to use the truck, When Turned on the windshield wipers to my dismay the window was all streaked and almost impossible to see out of........But when i looked over to the passenger sides window it was crystal clear.....

    So after doing a little scientific research ..I have it all figured out....

    It is because 99% of the time i am alone in the truck, So the drivers side windshield wiper is used 99% more than the passengers side is used and wears out faster and leaves streaks whereas the passengers side doesn't because it isn't used 99% of the time . ......

    Hope this solves the age old problem...

    It’s called the down time windshield rubber mold !

    Solution to the problem is to keep the wipers in the upright position at all times when not needed.

    The trick is not to look at the wiper as it does its job.

    They're shy and when they're stared at while at work they disintegrate rapidly, don't ya know?...

    I miss my truck.

    When I retired we went to one car and one trike. Every man needs/wants a truck.

    Bob, our vehicles wipers are voice activated too but only when the wife is riding along. A weird option if I say so myself!

    My wife used to fuss every time we were out and had to use the wipers. Gripe, gripe, gripe about not being able to see and feeling unsafe. I bought a couple of tie-down straps to strap her onto the hood and even got her some goggles to wear as she moves the wiper blades back and forth on the truck. She seems to be much happier now.
    It takes years to develop trust, it only takes a moment to lose it.

    And its still raining, I was going to go out and get new wiper blades but i can't see out the window to be able to drive to Blades ''R'' Us to get new ones...So I then figured i'll order them from Amazon, The'll get here in a day and it doesn't matter cause its gonna rain for the next 2 or 3 days anyway, But looking at the list they only sell them in pairs, Thats a deal breaker because all i need is the drivers side...What to do 'What to do..
