My truck that is. It took me less than 30 seconds to remove the airbag module and thereby access the inside of the steering wheel. I found everything I needed to know on the good old world wide web. It did take me a little longer to get the coin out because it had suddenly mysteriously disappeared. It had gotten lodged in a spot where I couldn't see it, but eventually I poked around enough and found this moose.
So it was a good day. I have one less anxiety in my life (left turns) and I am 25 cents richer!
I'm still baffled as to how it got in there though. It seems an incredible fluke. Of course no one around here knew anything about how it may have happened. The only thing that I would present for your consideration is the fact that Peter was the first person to notice the rattling, and I remember his exact words to me. "Dad, there's something rattling around inside your steering wheel. It sounds like there's a "quarter" in there."....hmmm...
Another slow training day. My confidence is quite low for some reason. I put about 1000 metres in at the pool, but very little continuous swimming. I will do a long run tomorrow.
I wish to dedicate day 171 to the memory of my Uncle Bert van Gerven, a man who seemed always to be happy.
“Just as a cautious businessman avoids investing all his capital in one concern, so wisdom would probably admonish us also not to anticipate all our happiness from one quarter alone."---Sigmund Freud

In your infinite wisdom, did you ever consider that the quarter was lodged there when the vehicle was assembled??? Some poor (Oops, can't say that about auto workers, I guess) slob dropped it and it was out of view, as it was for you...
That's a nice theory Elly, but all the unionized auto workers aren't paid enough to be able to afford the loss of a whole quarter!

I might have thought that last week, but I saw an article about some line workers making more than 80,000 a year. Now, you couldn't pay me enough to do the job, but still...
