Wiper to the rescue!
Date Added: December 17th, 2007
So picture this, we are driving along and it’s snowing like crazy. The windshield is mostly clear, except for that spot right in front on the drivers side. Go figure. Family is all bundled up, heater is cranked, and the kids are impatiently waiting for us to arrive at grandma’s house for the party. The gunked up spot on the windshield appears to be getting worse, and I know I can fix it. So down goes the window, kids hollering that it’s too cold, and I’m trying to flick the wiper blade to flatten it out. Well, after two attempts with no success, I figure the third times the charm. Suddenly the wiper slips free and goes flying by the window. My wife bursts out laughing, and wants to know why I didn’t catch it? I tap on the brakes to slow down and the vegetable tray that we were bringing to grandma’s house dumps over in a guey pile on the Christmas cookies. Definitely a Chicken Pucker moment.
