Somewhere near the heart of downtown Salt Lake City lies a strange world i had never seen, nor even dreamt of before today, deep shadowed mysteries crept along the edges of my vision as i took my first steps into...
THE TWILIGHT ZONE

You may think it's eyecatching, you may find it clever, or original, you may even believe deep in your heart that such an interesting paragraph will double your number of followers and earn your blog a Newbery or Caldecott medal.

Today i went to a very boring place where i did some boring things and then drove home the boring way. I had to go get a drivers side door for the family's '91 camry, I went to a place that looked as if all the cars in the world had spontaneously exploded on the freeway and happened to land in piles near the side of the city cesspool.
After paying a greasy young lad a clean crisp $100.oo I was rewarded with the opportunity to carry the entire drivers side door to my car in anticipation of installing it when i got home...
Alas my cheery disposition at deconstructing and reconstructing an automobile were severely stifled when to my utter dismay i realized that the Japanese not only refuse to use the Imperial (inches) system, but they somehow have confounded the all knowing all seeing METRIC system... The bolts to attatch the door to the car are precicely 11.5 mm. so i have two options, wait until they invent a 11.5 mm wrench, or drive around without a door...
Any helpful hints?

You could have Abbie do it. She has used her tiny fingers to remove screws from our ottoman as well as the changing table. I don't think she charges much either.
ReplyDeleteYou are looking for a 7/16 or 15/32 standard wrench? Possibly.
ReplyDeleteyeah i tried both standard and metric wrenches... it's between a 1/2 and 15/32.
ReplyDeleteBut no fear, Neighbot bob saved the day.
Yes, I think we COULD hire Abbie to do the job...not worried so much about how much SHE charges...but her father...? And I second the "Thanks Neighbor Bob!!!"
