Key stuck in ignition switch

[davenowherejones]

The key is stuck in the ignition switch. I don't know if the switch is broken or the key. If I get it out I will try my other key. Sometimes I can turn the key.

I have 42,000 km on the Forza now. I can some times lock the steering.

I suspect a new switch will be expensive and hard to get in Canada.

I did 100 km in the cold rain yesterday. The Power Pure tire gave me no problems but people were stupid on the 4 lane TransCanada Highway. 5 C temperature right now, pouring rain, I am going back to bed until summer.

Try a little squirt of WD-40 with the straw?

See you in a month when you wake up.

Thaw it out then pull on it up ???

Thaw it out then pull on it up ???

Yeah right, as soon as I get the door to the igloo open.

I am getting slammed by 80 kmph winds and heavy rain RIGHT NOW!

I am going to go Hide under the bed.

I got the key out and I am trying a spare key to see if it works better.

No riding in the house!...or igloo, in your case.

[davenowherejones]

igloo? It is so cold here this year. How many volcanoes have gone off lately to block the sun. My long underwear are getting worn out.

I went to Boston Bar yesterday and it was cold but interesting. I wanted to pull out a couple of loose rocks on the mountains to see if they would fall down some more. Lots of rock slides. Hell is still closed with lots of fine gravel on the blacktop. The Forza does some nice dirt bike slides.

The spare key works better but it does not have that octagon (?) for opening the key shutter. I never use the shutter. I have the worn out key in my jacket pocket for the shutter.

Mountains have been falling onto the roads lately. One road was closed for 3 days (Yale Highway 1) and the detour from Boston Bar was about 200 extra kilometers on a frozen road via Merritt & the Coquihalla Highway.

I live near the Hope Slide and 52 years ago a substantial part of the mountain fell down. Our mountains were once part of the ocean floor. They are not very strong.

Earthquakes and volcanoes are a constant danger. But Harrison Hot Springs had a good sulphur smell yesterday. I am going to hide under the bed.

50 rail cars of North Dakota oil are passing right now. The shaking is scary. Sounds like thunder and earthquakes. I need a stronger bed.

Wow! And to think we complain about a bit of rain in the UK!

[Dufus]

I agree with the WD-40 guy and have an amazingly smooth ignition switch apparatus to demonstrate why.

[relic]

Anyone that comes up with Dufus as a moniker is alright in my books. Anyway Davey I remember when the Hope slide happened-one of those WOW! things, stopped by the view point a couple years back and the scars still haven't healed, makes a person feel rather tiny in overall picture of things don't it?

[relic]

Dug this up hope the picture works. This is what Davey has in the back of his mind riding through the mountain passes.

As a kid, I first saw the slide back in 1968 when we moved from Toronto to Abbotsford. It was pretty raw back then. It has a fast highway through there now. The mountain is higher than Snowdon to give the UK people an idea.

I went to Hells Gate opening day yesterday. The slide at Yale has taken out sections of the concrete barrier on the side of the highway. It is getting worse and could fall down onto the railway below. The west side of the river has the eastbound freight trains. Toronto might not get their Halloween candy from China.

I kind of understand the reason for the Coguihalla Highway being built, I think they have known for years that the route through the Fraser canyon is slipping. That being said the two trans continental railroads might have a problem if nature decides to slip slide away
