Ok, it actually didn't turn out too bad because the weather didn't get really bad until about an hour later but where is the worst place you can imagine your drivers side, windshield wiper quiting on you?
How about on the worlds second longest bridge during the beginnings of a snow storm. Yup, it's 12.9 km long (that's 8 miles for you folks who think measuring in divisions of 10 is too easy,) it's only two lanes wide and there is NO stopping allowed.
Luckily the flurries were kind of blowing right past my windshield for a long time and I was able to see without leaning over for the first 80% or so. Once across I had to pull over and tie a string to the wiper so I could pull it up from inside the Jeep. I had it tied to the other wiper so it's down stroke would pull it back down. Actually worked pretty good once I got the timing right. Made it the rest of hour or so ways home pulling the string every 5 or 6 strokes.
Good Times!
