Went to the Urologist in the morning and everything was fine. Went to get an MRI on my hip at 3pm. On the way there, the passenger-side windshield wiper quit working. But the driver's side still works. I get to the imaging center, get undressed, and into the MRI machine. About halfway through the MRI, the electricity goes out and the MRI just stops. Thankfully, the MRI has a manual release button so the tech can get you out if the machine dies. Power was only out a few minutes, but it took 20 minutes or so to reset the machine to finish the MRI. Arrived at 3pm, finally left the place at 5:30pm. Not a great afternoon and now I need to figure out what happened to the wiper linkage. The motor works, so it has to be a connection to the passenger side. I do not think it is covered under my warranty looking at the contract and not sure the part would cost the $100 deductible anyway. But driver's side works. Linkage bushing more than likely

Bushing is just a few dollars. Replace all bushings on the transmission. If 1 broke the rest are not far behind.

Bought new toner cartridges for our printer. Installed and reset everything. Working great now. Darn things went up in price significantly since we last bought them.

you ever tried cooking corn cobs in the microwave instead of steaming? They come out great and the silk peels right off. Wrap them in wax paper for a steam affect. Leave each ear of corn in its' original "wrapper". Cut off the pointed end and the butt end where you expect to put the holders. Put them in the microwave for 2 minutes, turn over 180 for another 2 and they're done. Take off the leaf and silk with a dish towel, insert the tines of the holders. Butter, salt ... ( plus whatever ) and you're good.

Went to work like every day
The grill is the way to go with corn, in the husk.

Don't anticipate anything, but before spending the $800 for the PRP shot, he said he would do one just to be sure nothing else was going on. I'm anticipating getting the shot next Monday.

Well this was the culprit. The three stores I tried did not have them in stock, but Advance is supposed to have them here in a few hours. Wiper bushings on the Ram is the two rods in the photo. cost is $30 for the pair. One of the bushing on the longer rod was just wore out. I tried to connect it back and it just fell back off. The hardest part taking the plastic cover off to get to them. The damn hood is in the way. I know putting it back together isn't going to be any easier.
