Damn, 16 and counting.
Getting a little cold here. 16 for a low, and snow forecast for tomorrow.
Be glad when all this Christmas crap is done, and the weather starts to warm up a little. Went up to the cabin today to check on a break in. Snowshoed half a mile in 19 degree balminess. Window was only removed, nothing taken. Nothing there of value to take. Yard sale furnished, and we never leave any guns or money or jewelry. So, we put signs out stating that. Ready to start some boat mods, and upholstery, woodwork, and carpeting. Steve, xtreme sw Utah |

Found my windshield wipers frozen to the windshield so I turned on a neat accessory I haven't had in past vehicles.. It's a heating element in the lower windshield just to free up wiper blades. That great option plus the heated mirrors and back window defroster all worked as advertized. Must admit...this RAV4 is well equipped for a 'basic model'. In this part of the world, when we hit our windshield wipers, they go all to pieces, getting used only once a year or so. Today is rainy, and I bet the cheap auto stores are busy selling wiper blades, and people installing them on the spot. I never understood it. Repeatedly putting cheap blades on there, when you can go to NAPA and get Anco or similar and they last for many years. A few bucks more, but per year cheaper. Steve Up here we have both the winter and summer version of wipers. The winter ones have that rubber boot over the frame part to help keep ice & snow off. |

Amazing and beautiful. The t-cat was doing fine in the snow, very carefully walking out to a stump that makes a good viewing spot, and all of a sudden disappeared into the snow, then flew out and headed home. I guess dummy forgot about the small pond... lol -- Nom=de=Plume |

Steve Anco blades get torn to pieces the first rain out around here. I have found that sometimes a side brand does better since none last any longer than others.

But then again, I only have to put up with frost or snow on the windshield about once a year! |

Repeatedly putting cheap blades on there, when you can go to NAPA and get Anco or similar and they last for many years. A few bucks more, but per year cheaper. Steve Here's the deal. Wiper blades that don't get used real often take a 'set' from being pressed against the window while in the 'off' position. Then, when activated, the blade is moving across the window but not angling back and forth like it should. This causes the blade to hop and skip and make noises. Try this: Take the rubber blade out of the blade holder and turn it end for end. Put it back in. Now try the wipers. They'll seem like brand new ones. Don't know why it took me so long to figure that out. Now my blades last twice as long. -- John H |
