Bad luck day off

I head out to the Post Office to mail Xmas gifts. At the
counter the post office person your dressed for a blizzard well I had to
use alt. transportation. After leaving and in the parking lot rear tire
flat. Start fixing it and the Topeak Master Blaster comes apart in my
hands. Now the total trip which should have took 30 min after fixing
pump and flat took double that. Snow.

Christmas? You're *mailing* gifts already? Huh, guess I should get the
lights up.

Ice storm Monday. Limbs broke on the powerlines; we're out of power a day
and a half. Heat pumps are great except when the electric goes.
I go out to the car and the windshield is cracked.

Winter. Pah!

Did you throw a frozen fingered hissyfit?

Well, NYC got a few inches of snow overnight, switched to freezing

The shaft came unsrcewed from the plunger. Couldn't get
it srcewed together till srcewing the lock nut back on. Good thing I'm
