I grab my tools, hit the AZ on the way and pick up a serp belt.
Find the car on the side of RT 2. Struggle for a while and end up busting all 3 3/8" drives I brought trying to relax the spring loaded belt tensioner.
Leave the car there and head home for some 1/2" sockets, drives and a piece of pipe for leverage.
Drive all the way back and use the new tools and move the spring loaded tensioner. All of a sudden SNAP and the tensioner bolt shears off. Crap!
I limp the car to the next exit, park it and head back home for the truck and trailer. Shovel the trailer off and drag it thru the snow with the truck. The truck still had the plow on it. Head back to the broken down car for the third time now driving the truck & trailer..
Tooling along RT 2A in Fitchburg with the truck and trailer. Suddenly a car pulls out from a side street on my right trying to make a left turn in front of me just as I get to the intersection. WTF! I jump on the brakes with two feet.
BLAM....! I t-bone the car with the plow and the car spins around coming to a halt in the lane next to me. Girl driving is hysterical.
People jump out to check on her. She's OK fortunately. Her car is F'd though. The snow plow did a number on her drivers side. I suspect it's totaled. She's sobbing and repeatedly apologizing. Poor kid was really upset.
Did my best to calm her down. Police come and do their thing. Plow looks to be twisted and bent.
Will have to check it in the morning with daylight. She admit she's at fault to the officer and I continue on my way to get my daughters broken down car. Drove back to Gardner, load up the car and trailer it home in the dark.
What a day!
