Triage →[More:] My son called me from work and said he had a lot of smoke in his car, and when he opened the window to get some air the window stopped working.

He was just getting into work so he had to leave his car parked at Target with the window rolled down (he told the cart guys so they could keep an eye on it).

He came over after work (he's living an hour away while he goes to grad school) and I had to look at the car. It's a wiring issue with the power windows - the main power feed shorted out against the body or another wire or something. I disassembled the door enough to remove the window motor, raise the window, then put the window motor back in place to hold it for the time being. Now I need to look into a more permanent repair.

Earlier in the day, I was riding my bike today and was crossing the river at a low water crossing. Some water had splashed up onto the path across the river due to windy conditions today. I was really careful at first, but it seemed okay. At the last bit of water though, my wheels slid out from under me as if they were on ice and I executed a perfect belly flop into the river. Amazingly my phone still works, though my pedometer is dead.

It was in the 60s (maybe 10-15C). I continued my ride, wet clothes and all. Even stopped in at my favorite pub for lunch and a couple of brews. I guess because I was working hard pedaling the bike, I didn't get chilled.

So how was your Saturday?
