OT - NO POLITICS The Dog Days of Summer continue

[Bruinaura]

I'm almost positive that the cancel mechanism in the steering column is entirely separate from the lever itself. They contact, but your turn signal lever snapped on the outside, so the cancel mechanism won't be impacted by the snap.

But it all depends what caused the return to stop working to begin with. Something snapped or stripped, either in the cancel mechanism that spins with the wheel, or on the turn signal lever. There's likely to be a small plastic toggle on the end of the lever that gets flipped by the cancel mech. I bet that plastic toggle loosened or snapped.

It's a long way to say that you won't know until the wheel comes off. Steering wheels are straight forward, but the wiring and the metal plates inside for the horn, turn signals and other electronics, are such a pain in the ass. It's actually fascinating to see how it all works though.

Good luck!

Maybe I'll just roll down the window and stick my arm out to use the old fashioned manual signal. But I doubt many people would understand them and probably think I'm flipping them off.

Well... we shall see I guess.... the part won't be here until later this week and so it will probably be the week after that before it gets installed.

Well, I have no water. There was a water main break and the whole street is out.

I hope it is back sometime today. I wish I had known. I would have filled up a few bottles. There is an 8x8 hole in the road/ neighbor's driveway that is 8-10 feet deep. I feel bad for the 2 guys out there, so I brought them each a bottle (thankfully I keep some in the fridge) of cold water.

You'd be surprised! They taught it in driver's ed and drilled it into my head. Of course that was over 20 years ago, but I still know them. I see bikers using them every now and again.

I think most people would figure out the left turn hand signal, but stop and right turn might confuse people

As long as you leave the middle digit down hand signals are a good option

Awfully considerate of you! I try to keep waters and gatorades in the fridge for this reason as well. Postal workers, dumpster pick up, lawn guys, etc, I always try to offer a drink when I catch them.

Hopefully your water is back in short order, and doesn't require you to run it too long before it's clean

One more day - the last 3 weeks have been brutal

View attachment 575729

went from 95 in Portland to 65 at 5 pm in the same city later that day... it's stabilized here at 72, but went all over the place.... saw one map that said Rangely hadn't hit 60 (55-59)

Gmail changed its interface and it is awful.

Thankfully you can change it back to the original view at least for now.

only use it for its intention... mail.... yahoo did that and you can do that with AOL Mail too if needed

Me too. It sucks but as long as it fixed soon, I will be fine. I keep water for me in the fridge but also for the guy who mows for me. It is horrible outside. I believe by tomorrow it is supposed to get better. This is the hottest Summer in my 70 years on earth and I do NOT like it.

I am hoping later today

Why do you feel weird? It is hot and humid and horrible. Those poor guys. You should just say thanks and realize some folks get it and feel for you.

Also, return the favor when it is someone else !

I use the gmail interface for work but thankfully we can revert back to the old view.

As someone with ADHD, the new set up is a nightmare for me since it shifts everything over and makes it off center. It also makes the page look cluttered

I've been paying attention to that case for a while... It was the right decision imo (as a former grand juror I would've voted not guilty as well)

I thought this case was a slam-dunk, but it seems the witnesses are telling two completely different stories..

Can you tell us why you would do that? I haven’t followed this since it happened fwiw

It should have been a slam dunk and instead this menace is free to repeat the very behavior that led him to this point.

Because there was no concrete evidence and a special accident investigation came to the conclusion that the lead motorcyclist crossed the center line which caused the disaster.

You can't make a guilty verdict on speculation basically.

Prosecutors said Zhukovskyy was driving recklessly and only stopped when his pickup truck slammed into an oncoming procession of motorcycles. Zhukovskyy’s lawyers blamed the crash on the lead motorcycle rider, who was killed in the collision.

Albert “Woody” Mazza Jr., 59, the president of the Jarheads Motorcycle Club, had a blood alcohol level of .135, well over the legal driving limit of .08, according to court testimony.

I guess that is the doubt that lead to this decision.

Exactly. I'm not saying he's some angel that didn't do any wrongdoing however where the lead motorcyclist was over the BAC along with witnesses having different stories... Innocent until proven guilty by concrete evidence.
