Don't worry, I'm sure no one's noticed...


Also, I forgot to quote him, but whoever was talking about the washer fluid reservoir made me want to ask if anyone knows why the spray nozzles sputter foam instead of actually spraying the windshield. I cannot presently clean my windshield because the pitiful thing just spits foam into the plastic.

IF you have fluid in the bottle, maybe the hose or nozzle is clogged -

Just serviced yesterday so everything should be full. I'm wondering what could clog it up because that's what I was thinking as well.

Wasn't that because it was way faster than anyone else at the time? Was it before or after the F1 guys tried it?

Does the other side work?

if not, I suggest you pump on it for a minute, maybe the pump is just priming?

Even your car was just "serviced", you might still take a look to make sure it's full.

Bubba says to stick the end of a small paper clip in the nozzle to make sure it's clear.

You may have to follow the hose from the pump to the nozzle, taking it off at junctions to track down a clog.

What could clog up the system? Could be slime from stagnant solution, could be just a bit of "stuff", could be cricket shit -

Pulled the handle several times over the course of minutes and even held it for a good while a few times, nothing but foam from both nozzles. I will investigate it further tomorrow. It could be gunked up from inactivity as I rarely need to clean the windshield. That's my best guess. The paperclip idea might work well.

I am so tired and sore. I am old now. I can't do this, but I am. Life is funny.

If you're getting foam from the nozzles then they're ok. I'll guess that there is a leak somewhere between pump and the branch manifold, or whatever that tube is called. Maybe it's that tube.

Why don't you just hire some movers to pack up your house? It's not horribly expensive and trained people with good tools do a bang-up job.

life ain't gonna be that funny if you have a stroke working like that in that heat! Besides, when you pack and move yourself, every little bit of damage will be YOUR fault, in the eyes of mrs Sapphireho, forever and ever -

I'd help if he hadn't decided to live on the opposite side of the universe! moving is fun, i get to use my pickup and ratchet straps!

Life lesson: Any opportunity to use one tool or another is always a good time in my book .
