Slipped Belt

One-Hundred-Fifty-One.

I went over to my grandparents house today before I had to head back to school. I love hearing all of the stories they have to tell. They recently had a room in their house renovated and were excited to show it off. I also backed up all of my photos there (we store a hard drive there as an off-site backup). Grandma made me a ham and swiss sandwich. I love them so much. It started to get later, so I had to leave. Then an interesting tale begun:

I was driving home in the rain and hit a puddle on Foley Blvd. This was such a forceful impact that a belt was thrown off. I noticed immediately when the power steering failed, but determined to get back to my house and be picked up by Patty I thought I could finish the drive without power steering. Little did I know, this belt also controlled the radiator fan and the alternator. I realized this after getting onto the freeway and looking at the engine temperature. I knew I had better pull over. Luckily I was able to call my family and work everything out, and special thanks to my uncle JH for picking me up.

I got back to school a little later than I would have liked, but it was ok because Patty and I ate at Patrick's for dinner.

Later,
