I'm waiting for it. It's gotta drop soon so I can get out from underneath this black cloud today.
Day starts with 3 jobs from the daughter of a regular customer. Deal is I go to each house, call and tell her how much to do what, do it and move on to the next. Well, I drive an hour to the first one, and she doesn't answer the phone. Wait half hour, say screw it and go to the next one. Same deal. No answer. On the way to the 3rd, I hear this god awful sound and sudden explosion of black rubber. It's the serpentine belt. So I'm on a major road, in traffic, pulling a trailer, and now don't have power steering or power brakes and Im grossing probably 13k lbs. I make it over to the side of the road into a parking lot, and find the tensioner has decided to eat itself and the belt. The serp belt i just replaced beginning of February. So I call the wife, she drives an hour to me, I get the parts and put the mess back together on a blacktop parking lot.
Then the customer calls. Doh!
I give. Beer and Jameson will finish my day out.
