Well, it would have been nice if the motorist assist guys that jump started PG's car would have taken fifteen seconds to look at it when it died after they jumped it. That's about how long it took me to notice there was a pulley that looked suspiciously like it ought to have a belt on it. Then I found the alternator belt nearby.
They're not mechanics in the least, they only know how to tow 'em and/or jump 'em. Frown

So it seems. She said the fellows were between the ages of approximately 70-85.
If it hadn't been dark, extremely windy, a few degrees above freezing, and snowing, I might have considered fixing it roadside. Instead I gave her the info I have in my phone for the local towing guy and mechanic, picked us up a pizza for dinner, and just played my new songs for her at my place.

And curiously enough, I got an email this morning from Windstream about my $10 credit... so I guess it will just be an annual thing where I'll have to call and threaten to leave. The first of my new DSL modems arrived last night.

Guess the cookies came out better than I felt (probably wasn't fair to compare them to made-from-scratch, but whatevs), someone loudly asked if anyone had a problem with him eating the last one, then asked me if I put crack in them. I told him he'd find out tomorrow when I bring more in and charge five bucks apiece.

It's really bad here. The client isn't requesting much more than maintenance patches. No new projects, very little activity. Supposedly a data refresh for our test environments is in the works, but nobody seems to have any details, yet. Dontknow

I suppose I could spend one of those days cutting up the trees that blew over a couple weeks ago.
