^ "I'll send U my physicians!" Ol' chum! Hopin' for a speedy recovery I Had a near disaster myself. I got summoned forth to San Francisco at 9PM-50 miles- with rain to-beat-the-band and 30+mph cross-winds to match across three major toll-bridges and Corolla's front-drive wheels slipping, even in low torque. For the toll-free return direction, I first called my boat captain who monitors road and weather to inquire about returning the toll free direction across the Golden Gate Bridge, and avoiding the windy Bay Bridge I'd arrived on. The route has been closed for flooding this month for several days. I finally get to a one-lane route at Sonoma around midnight approx 15 mile from my home and am following the vehicle in front, when the road disappears...70 yards of six-inch very brown deep water from a nearby creek and I'm in it! Real sudden-like (Flash really means Flash BBY!) with utterly no chance to turn around; and I can't see the deep ditches on both sides anyhow. (note: flood water/sewage does not smell good at all)With no options: I managed to punch through, creeping in second gear w/o stopping(fatal) and got back onto the dry road. I called the road condition into to 911 and made it home by 00:45. It's till pouring rain as I post and 31 road closures R in effect in Sonoma County today. It's gonna rain all week...there goes my golf game! A break for sailing on Saturday is predicted.

She'll say: "I'm basking in Kaui'i" whilst dressed in her black mourning swimsuit having a Mai-Tai on the proceeds of my estate! (Hey she ruthlessly pays the premium and deserves every shekel for putting up with me!) as do most brides!...after having dutifully dropped my ashes into a favorite small stream along the North shore.

Ran a small errand for the neighbour the other day and she just dropped in a bottle of Nelsons blood

Obviously never thought of an accompanying bottle of peppermint cordial to compliment it

The love is always appreciated! As an old sailor/pilot/trucker where weather is always a factor; one is obliged to reassess one shortcomings and at 66 not try to get lucky...twice. This being a naval forum here it is: the damn tide about did me in! The tide in the 'little creek' is is bordered upon a tremendous Skaggs Island Slough directly on San Pablo Bay/Sacrmanto River, a giant marine-estuary sponge, affected by the tide which was cresting above 6'+ around midnight and with torrential rain...

2017-02-0t Tue 12:15 AM PST 6.1 feet High Tide

Tide graph for Sonoma Creek.> probably even higher. We're talking Pharaoh chasin' Moses time here! My position north of the Slough was precisely at the road block now delineated just below the 'Hwy 12/Schellville' on today's flood advisory/closure map; probably instituted by the firestation at that intersection, immediately after my call to 911?!! with now another to the west at Embarcadero and one to the east at The 'Stornetta Dairy' corner-ie: the road: a major secondary artery to Infinion Raceway is shutdown, probably for several days. Egad! I was Subsimming in my seaworthy Toyota Corolla: "all ahead slow-helm amidships" and two taillights to steer by! EDIT:

Gettin ready for the burial and memorial service for my newly deceased computer mouse. It fought bravely against the floor one time too many and is now a dead mouse, it has ceased to be, it has kicked the bucket, it has gone to meet it's maker, it is an ex mouse.

Also looking at alternative SH3 problem solving. Time will tell if this really works or was a fluke.

Have you tried nailing it to it's perch?

No but I did manage to bring it back in a somewhat zombified state. The left button is fine with the cover off but with the cover on, it didn't work. The clicking sound and feel was there but nothing happened. Cover off and it worked again. Looking at the inside of the cover, there is a tab on the button that presses the microswitch. The tab was undamaged. Nothing out of alignment.

Cover on and off like it was a magic routine, and suddenly it started working albeit not 100%, but close enough for use.

I did however threaten it with a dip in the fjord so that could have sorted it out.
