Bad day yesterday...

Started off with a stressful day at work.

Rode home in very cold rain/wind, for 2 hours. Traffic in all directions was at a standstill, even at 7pm, because, you know, rain. My raingear ripped in just the right place to let water pool under my unmentionables.

When I got home, there was a voice mail from my wife. Someone hit her scoot in the work parking lot and drove off.

Thankfully I think it's just some plastic, no real damage. I'm still very annoyed....

Put all my clothes in the dryer, and guess what? that died...

However..TODAY IS FRIDAY.

Oh, DAMN. That is just a remarkably sucktastic day. I'm so sorry.

I hope Angela's scoot IS just panels.

I rode it around the block this morning, seemed to steer fine, so I think we're OK.

More annoyed than anything. She's finally grown really attached to it, and I'd hate to see it totaled.

I got home just as the first drops started falling that day. It got heavy pretty fast. Sorry to hear you were trapped in it!
Glad the wife's scoot seems OK.

What's up with the dryer? Does it run but there's no heat? If it's electric, you can fix it yourself really cheap; I've done mine twice and saved a ton of $.

Sorry for everything... If you have to have the insurance company get involved, fight them if you want to keep the scoot. I had to and won.

Ooof. That does sound like a sucky way to end out the week - but hopefully all the damage to your wife's scooter is just to the plastics, since plastics can easily be replaced (or repaired until you can replace them).

Here's hoping your weekend is better!

That is truly crappy. Hope you find something (hot shower/cold beer?) to make the rest of your Friday not so bad!

since she has all the stickers and such, we decided to leave the 'windshield piece alone for now, and just replace the fender.

$36. Overall, not so bad.

The dryer turned out to be a sensor where the door shuts. $50 and it's back in action. My landlord paid for that, but I'm going to sneak $50 onto the rent check this month. He's done a lot for us that he really shouldn't have to.

Thanks guys!

Fortunately it seems OK so far. I'm taking care of it, much as it stinks to take a break from the gym.

We're merging a couple of offices next week, and the stress level is at nuclear. Thanks MB for being a good diversion.
