A couple of years ago the driver side window started having a problem.  It started by not rolling up the whole way and we'd have to wait 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, then 1/2 hour to roll up and finally not without help.  We'd push the clicker down and with the other hand force the window back up.  Soon we weren't rolling down the window at all.  We'd go through the drive-thru and just open the door instead.  My mother's husband wondered why we wouldn't get that fixed but we didn't.  Last week we noticed that the wires in our front tires were poking through.  Not good so I took it to Costco to have new tires put on.  Thankfully we just needed two new tires.  But it's their policy to roll down the window.  Why?  I have no idea.  But they couldn't get the window up so they had to park it someplace else so they could keep an eye on it.  That was so nice of them, even after Skagit peed twice in front of their counter.  They were nice about that too.  It's an excited thing.  Hopefully he grows out of it.  Then we needed to have the van aligned.  So Tuesday my busy day I had an appointment to have that done.  Remember this was my busy day:  up at 5am, work out at 5:30 home by 6:45, kids up at 7 am, school by 8 am, drop the dog of to get neutered by 9 am, finish school by noon, car in at 1 pm, Lona into costume with hair and make-up and out to Nooksack Elementary by 5:15, and a racquetball game with the kids at YMCA at 7:30pm.  That is how my day was planning out.  Back to the van.  I went in and told them not to roll down the window having learned from Costco and I watched them write in down on the order.  Fine, it will be about an hour.  After 1 1/2 hours they brought me back the van and the window was rolled down. Ok, hopefully I'll get it back up by the time I take Lona for photos.  Only this time the clicker is totally frozen and I can't even force the window up anymore.  The guy offered to take the panel off and roll up the window for me but I was on a tight schedule and couldn't wait.  I headed home spent 1 hour with Lona's hair and make up and the rest of the panned out like I thought.  John spent quite a bit of time taking off the panel and trying to get the window up that night but couldn't. So the door panel is in the very back of the van along with all the parts.
Now it is Wednesday and I call Toyota, they don't have any time available until next Wednesday.  Ok, but could someone roll up my window for me?  i could almost see the gal on the other end of the phone rolling her eyes.  Yep, I asked to have my window rolled up.  Sigh, come in and ask for Brian.  I figure since I"m getting my hair done at that side of town I'll just swing by and get it rolled up.  After 1 1/2 hours they pulled the van back out of the shop with the window up.  Aparently it took 4 guys to do that and they disconnected the motor and the clicker is on my passenger side seat.  There is no way some one is going to be able to roll down the window now.  Great.  I thank Brian and walk out to my car only to discover that the passenger window is rolled down and the window is locked so that I can't use the controls on the passenger door.  The controls are sitting on the seat of the van next to me.  I couldn't help but start laughing.   Are you kidding?  I wanted the window rolled up and now the passenger window is down.  I couldn't wait any longer I just drove home laughing.  All I had to do was reconnect the clicker and unlock the passenger window controls.  Thankfully that was working.  But ever since I went to Toyota the overhead lights and the clock aren't working.  Why?  I tell you it is a saga with this van.  I need it to last 8 more years.  Actually if it could last 10 I would be thrilled.  Four more years and Isaac may start driving, two years later Job and still another two years Lona.  By that time I'll be ready for my Miata.
Il y a un petit problem avec ma voiture.  Le fenetre n'est pas bougie apres l'ouvrir.  C'est comme ca pour deux annee.  Au premiere on peut ouvrir le fenetre est de fermer il etait lentement. apres un peut du temps on peut pas fermer le fenetre sans aider par main.  Je prend mon voiture au mecanicien  pour les pneus.  Je leur dit n'ouvez pas les fenetre.  Il ecrit sa mais quand le mecanicien me le donne le fenetre est ouvrir et c'est tous casser maintenant.  Il offrit de fermer le fenetre mais je n'avais pas assez du temps.  Il faut que je fair les cheuveux de Lona et la prend dans une autre village pour des photos pour la dance.  C'est presque un heure de faire sa cheuveux et sa maquillage.  Quand nous retournons chez nous il commence de pluie.  Le jour prochain je telephone un autre mecanicien de  reparer le fenetre.  Il me dit je peut allez dans un semaine.  Je demande s'il peut fermer mon fenetre au'jourdhui.  C'est possible alors je prends mon voiture dans l'apres midi et j'attend une heure et demi.  C'est necessaire de quatre homme aider de fermer mon fenetre.  Il dit, "C'est tout fermer, ce n'est pas possible d'ouvrir maintenant."  Le semaine prochain on peut le reparer.  Je dis merci et quand je ouvrir la port l'autre fenetre est ouvrir et ce n'est pas possible de fermer.  Je n'avais pas le temps d'attendre encore alors je vais chez moi.  C'est un peu du temp mais l'autre fenetre est fermer aussi. Mais ma porte est dans quelques pieces. C'est vraiment amusant.
