I can see behind me now

It's so damn hot that 2 weeks ago, the glue on my driver's side mirror just gave up.  I walked out of the apartment to head to work and the mirror was lying on the floor in 2 pieces.  I used the epoxy we have at work and glued the pieces back in. 

A long ass time ago, the mirror on the passenger side was shattered.  It was just the glass, not the plastic part.  I put a mirror over it with hooky thingees.  Somehow it got ripped off.  I don't know who thought that shit was funny, but who understands crackheads?  I went and got a new piece of mirror at Pep Boys and voila!  I can see!

Two days ago, I was on my way to lunch, when I look to back up, I realize my rearview mirror is just not there.  There was a dried up glue booger sitting where my mirror used to be.  I look around and realize that my mirror is on my seat.  Chicago-made trucks are not made with glue that can stand up to Dallas heat.  It's been frozen for nine winters in a row, but two Texas summers and the poor glue just died.  I peeled it off and it wasn't even remotely sticky.  It was like a piece of plastic.  I went and bought a repair kit and fixed it myself tonight. 

I've changed air filters, oil, bulbs, flushed a radiator and I've even changed tires in the rain. All of that is nice, but I'm taking  pride in glueing  the mounting bracket of my rearview mirror to the windshield and securing the mirror again.
