Morning all. What a day!!!!!! Started off with a bang. Cranked 4 Runner and loaded dogs for groomer. 4 Runner has new serpentine belt put on by my local service center. Heard a loud clicking noise yesterday evening and stopped by the center. Belt had a bad place on it. Well, it shredded going out of the driveway. Didn't notice until steam was coming out behind vehicle. Stopped. Part of belt still on and part wrapped around fan shaft. Obviously hit a hose and knocked it off or cut it. Antifreeze all over engine. They sent wrecker and Wifey came and took dogs to groomer. Messed up our schedules. 
Of course service center is all apologetic. They will loose money on this deal. Bet they only get reimbursed for belt and not all the towing. additional labor and etc.
Extra warm and cloudy. Warming and turning fair. 62 for low Friday morning. High 72 Friday. Then temps drop. Cold rain for Sat and Sun. That may stop the Christmas Parade Sunday sponsored by the Chamber.
Appointments today and then reception this evening.
