So I walk out to finally get lunch at 3:20 only to see a giant gash in the side of my car. Someone swiped the side of my car. My crowning achievement for all of my hard work over the past 10 years. The only nice car I have ever owned.
I am so defeated today. The one saving grace of this situation is the man who accidentally hit me did the honest thing and exchanged his insurance. I wasn't there when it happened. He could've just drove away but didn't.
So it'll get repaired and you'll be okay. Still, I understand how you feel. Sorry man...

That really sucks. I've started not owning nice cars so that I don't have to care about things like this. Cars are too disposable and at too much risk to be something that you care about.

I have a 2001 (original owner) for much the same reason.
Had a car I cared a lot about, then it got stolen and destroyed by some punk kid. Have never had the desire to have a nice one again.

Sorry to hear. My last two weeks have been somehow similar: A few very good things happened, and a lot really bad ones (car in garage with no spare part available, ligament rupture, project deadlines and something else which was really, really bad)

Wasn't much fun to watch IMHO. They forgot to add a story and spent way too much time on rendering machines.

Yeah, it is definitely a "phoned in" movie. You can tell that the "actors" can't even stand it any longer.

Well... Pops and I went through the house with a find toothed comb. We can't figure out where all the smoke was coming from last night. Nothing smells like it was burning or anything.
We did find a bad circuit breaker but it's a chicken & the egg scenario... Did the circuit breaker blow and cause all the smoke... or did something else cause all the smoke and blow the circuit breaker... Found a couple of power outlets that needed to be replaced, and did that. Other than that, all is clear.
Wow...what a night.

Didn't find any burnt rodent or insect husks in the breaker or surrounding areas?
Does one of your kids have a chemistry set? I used to make some horrific aromas with mine, some with smoke, some without.

Nope. No dead rodents or pets or chemistry sets (yet). Best I can figure is the circuit breaker burned out and smoked up the place. The living room circuit tripped and was fine, but the one for the stove had to be replaced.
Humpty Dumpty has been back together for hours now and no worse for the wear. We don't know what caused it... But whatever it did definitely took out our stove's breaker.

Maybe the stove did something funky. Is it new or old?

Relatively new... (I'd guess 3 to 5 years due to the safety features on it). Gas stove with electric ignition and digital clocks timers, etc). When the power blips on it, it locks it self so the gas won't run at all until we unlock it.
No burn marks or smells anywhere we checked.

It doesn't seem like a gas one would overload a breaker. You, sir, have electrical gremlins!

That's what I'm thinking. The fire crew checked under the house too. Best we can tell is something overloaded the system here and caused a thermal resistor somewhere in the line to flash burn. (Lots of smoke, no fire, plenty of bad smells 'till the house airs out).
But what caused the surge... we have no idea.
