The Spongebob Squarepants episode that is the origin of my signature is coming on Nick at 9pm tonight. "Dying For Pie". Damn funny stuff.

Pittsburgh 19 - Holes 17

Boo hoo hoo! ;)

Boo HO-HO-HO!

I'm, glad at least you can quit after 3 HOs...

Finally home after an adventurous day. A neighbor of my mom's who has worked on their cars (including the explorer when they owned it) came with us to help with the belt. Good thing, there was a pulley that had gone bad, which was why the belt broke. So we got that part as well, and he put both on for us, and we made it on our merry way to Durham to see my dad. After a short visit (too short), I had to get on back to get stepson to work. Now it's beer tasting time!

Ahem, I believe that pulley is called a "tensioner." <---- I know WAAAAAY too much about serpentine belts and tensioners.

I'm glad that you got your car fixed and had that visit with your dad. And how bad can it be to go home to the BEACH?

Good Morning, everyone.

Y'all are usually so on the ball. I'm surprised that no one has noticed the little change I made Christmas eve. Ah, well, too subtle I guess. ;) Either that or WAY too much egg nog for you guys.

[YmoBeThere]

I wonder if they will put egg nog on sale...

Very close..it was the "idler pulley". Bearings wore out, the pulley locked up, and there went the belt. The tensioner pulley is the other one that commonly goes, but luckily was ok because it is the harder one to get to. I now know way too much about serpentine belts too...but I did make sure I paid attention on how it was put back on. Never know when I'll need to do it again.

If you're driving a Chrysler product, you'll need to do it again in July 2010 when you're (1) out in the middle of nowhere; or (2) late to work; or (3) on vacation and the car is packed to the gills.

I'm not familiar with the idler pulley. Apparently, they don't have those on Chrysler minivans because if they did, I would have replaced mine 3 or 4 times.

Ymmm!...Glazed spiraled ham!

Just as we had decided where to go for dinner tonight, my cell phone rang, with a familiar name on the caller ID. It was and CathyCA. They had been in Smithfield shopping at the outlets, and had wandered a mile or two west onto my street and were looking for my house! We ended up all going to the local Applebee's for dinner. The company was fantastic, but the food was, well, Applebee's.

Thanks for stopping by!

Better food, but not good seating.

Very cool! By the way, the outlets in Selma, specifically JR, are the best place in the planet to load up on gifts on Christmas eve. That's the one Sweetie Pie and went to, but we've done the Burlington one on eve's in the past.

You drove right past Sami's Pizza on the way to JR's. It's the the same building as the Mobil station on the corner of US 70 and JR Road (or whatever it's called). How come you didn't call when you were in town?

Please join me and my boys - Larry Csonka, Jimmy Kiick, Bob Griese, Paul Warfield, et. al., in drinking a toast as the last undefeated team in the NFL goes down in flames! Thank you NY Jets! How they could lose last week and then beat the Colts is one of life's great mysteries, but I'm glad it happened!

Here's to the 1972 Miami Dolphins, and the 17 - 0 perfect season!

DD told us we were right there (after the fact). We would have called if we knew we would be stopping, but were on somewhat of a tight schedule and carrying two antsy dogs. (Good thing we didn't stay too long, since the car broke down just before sunset that day). But don't worry, there is a trip to Sami's in my future, I have to drive right by on my way to Durham from the beach.

I'll toast to that. I've enjoyed seeing that record stand as long as it has.
