Driver Side Rear Signal Repair

Dear Dad,

I fixed the broken left rear blinker on my CR-V.

It failed a few weeks back and when I went to the auto parts store, the tech who was going to swap it out had me test it when he removed the tail light fixture, and it appeared to work again.

Yesterday (Easter Sunday) it failed intermittently as I drove to and from our gathering, so I drove back to the auto parts store, where the cashier was able to sell me the bulbs, but they didn’t have any techs around to replace it for me, so he suggested checking online for a how-to video, which I found on YouTube.

This afternoon I followed the instructions from the video, even though it didn’t actually cover the bulb replacement itself, but I was able to figure it out and it’s all fixed.

Just wanted to let you know. 🙂

Miss you and love you.

Return to the Moon

I was still in kindergarten when the Apollo 17 mission marked the last time man landed on the moon.

I don’t recall watching any of the coverage on TV, as most of my TV watching was cartoons and maybe Sesame Street.

I certainly read about the moon missions over the years, and I remember Skylab and the Apollo-Soyuz ‘handshake in space’ mission.

The first actually launch I remember seeing live was the maiden flight of space shuttle Colombia, April 12th, 1981.

I’ve seen many shuttle launches over the years, and later the recent resupply missions to I.S.S.

But today?

I’m hoping to see something that I’ve never seen before, a manned rocket, launching to rendezvous with the moon.

So you’ll excuse me if I’m found tearing up a bit later this afternoon.
