This beingness Part VIII of a Racer's Final(s) Diary
My unopen proximity to the Tattooed Twosome gives me a three-ring-side spot to their automotive woes. Mr. Ironic is clueless, he returns from the parts shop alongside the solely slightly less clueless employee.
Mr. Ironic: "We're travelling in addition to the machine simply started smoking. I intend perchance it's the battery?" (two points awarded for knowing what a battery is in addition to that a machine has one)

Mr. Employee: "Sure can, come upwards on dorsum within in addition to nosotros volition larn yous fixed correct up."
Miss Ironic: "Can the domestic dog come upwards inwards too?"
I create my best, but neglect utterly at asset dorsum a derisive snort from my spot nether the front end of the van. It's the dumb leading the blind out here.
Ultimately, I complete the labor in addition to larn inwards at the minute of truth equally the sulfuric Saturn in addition to its motley crew elbow grease out of the parking lot alongside the most expensive battery Advance sells, spell acid from the dissever battery is notwithstanding dripping out in addition to roofing the undercarriage, wiring, brake lines etc.. Oh well. I showtime the van in addition to at nowadays the voltmeter jumps to 14.5 volts. I unopen it off, await nether the hood for expert measure, checking the belt, connections in addition to keeping an optic out for tools or debris left behind that could come upwards dorsum to haunt me. Five past times five. Time to roll.
I can't assistance but experience similar I've accomplished something. Twice unforeseen obstacles accept appeared inwards my path, in addition to twice I've handled them. I'm certain at that spot are quite a few people who could swap an alternator inwards a parking lot, but I would go willing to bet nowadays, inwards the the world nosotros alive in, at that spot are quite a few to a greater extent than who couldn't. Two of them simply wheeled downwardly the route inwards a Saturn that stunk of rotten eggs.
I intend most the race flavour in addition to then far, in addition to realize it has been zilch to a greater extent than than obstacles that needed to go overcome equally well. I know what I accept to create in addition to later today I experience a calm in addition to surety that I volition create it. Momentum is on my side.
