Random thoughts thread

worked my butt off all day
got home and drivers window on my Frontier won`t roll up now
I knew this day would come, should have bought the stinkin motor already.
 
I had the fun of replacing an Impala HVAC air diverter motor. It was easy to see since it was behind the glove box but the screws were a tough to get to. There was one thick wiring harness bundle that was in the way that made things difficult. I ended up losing a socket somewhere in the process but minimum cuts and abrasions and minor back pain.
 
Duct tape and a piece of cardboard would be cheaper. LOL

well someone opened the truck up but strangely didn`t take anything

leave a crappy vacuum cleaner out front for a year and nobody will take it but tape the window up to my truck ONE night in the span of 6 hours, it gets opened up
 
Around here neighbors would put your window up for you, lol. I`ve done it a couple times and the guy across the street put up the window and locked the S10 one night before a storm hit. A couple neighbors have the garage code to get a tool if they need.
 
512Detail- Gee, makes it sound like your neighborhood might be a little, uhm...iffy.
I posted on our local neighborhood social media. Everyone said theyve caught kids pulling door handles on their security cameras. I mean, crime does go up when these kids are out of school.

I pulled it in the garage. I`m gonna call around and see about a window motor.
 
the last two laps of this british grand prix are insane! SPOILER ALERT IF YOU ARE GOING TO WATCH IT ---

both Ferrari`s suffer damage on the last or second to last lap (tires) while Hamilton cleans up again
 
612Detail- Huh, wonder if any of those kids caught on video are, uhm...ID-able. But then again, I guess that the days of talking to some kid`s parents and getting `em squared-away are long gone :(

Yeah, get the window motor (for a few good reasons :D ), but I`d keep your Situational Awareness cranked up anyhow, sounds like bad [stuff] could happen around there.

Oh man do I feel fortunate to live where I do...don`t always appreciate it until something like this gets me thinking.

I realize that my my inner "old fart" is showing. But when I was a kid (I know, I know) the neighbors didn`t need to have the friendly talk with my parents, they took it up with me directly.
And my parent`s backed them up.
 
Nutbread- Yeah, same here. It was sorta a not-goofy version of that Takes a Village thing that I tend to disparage. I learned some *very* valuable lessons from (other) adults who caught me doing stuff...and actually, the best lessons weren`t even reported to my parents; the job was done and there was no need because the lesson had already been learned. I always respected adults who treated me that way- calmly and objectively, taking time to explain why I was out of line and not condescending to me just because I was a kid.
 
went into garage and tried to roll up my drivers window and IT ROLLED UP!
still going to get a replacement motor but man am I happy I can park this truck outside again
so is my car!

I taped off the window switch so hopefully I don`t roll it down again :)
 
Worried that I`ll be called to testify before Congress.

I have a Russian dog, and had one for 15 years, years ago.......

Pull the trim and unplug the switch. I am not saying i know from experience but well it stinks when you get your self back in the same boat again with window down from hitting the button while not looking and or thinking about it. Even with tape on it you can still push it out habit for few seconds then (*^*&^)(&))(&*&%*%% the darn window is down.
 
512Detail- Ah, glad it rolled up! And yeah, I like trashmanssd`s idea...IMO we *tell* ourselves we won`t do something like hit that switch, but then....oops....
 
Not what I had in mind when i went fishing this morning....
