She's probably examining her own reflection in the window! Larry, I bet you're right about someone feeding them. Last summer I observed something for the very first time. I've heard of it occurring before. But I had never seen it myself. I raise mixed heritage turkeys (free range). Twice last summer, when I was doing evening chores, I watched a wild turkey hen come out of the woods, flirt with my tom turkey, mate with him, and then go back to the woods. I thought, "Now that's going to introduce some real diversity into the gene pool!" George Tahlequah, OK

If you live in an area where it's been freezing, and the washer won't pump out fluid in the morning or after sitting for a period in the cold, but will do so after the engine has been running for a while, or after the car has sat for a half hour or so after the engine has warmed up, perhaps you've topped up the reservoir with fluid that wasn't rated for cold weather and has been freezing in the tubes, but thaws after the engine compartment gets warm for long enough to thaw them out. If it's been cold enough to freeze the liquid in the reservoir, this solution won't work, of course. Probably pour hot water over it several times, if it won't cause complications in other parts of the system as it flows down to the ground. Or blow a hair dryer on it for an hour or so, until it thaws enough to pump some of it out, then add hot water to the tank to thaw the rest, pump it all out, refill with seasonally-adjusted stuff. Or remove the tank, take it into the house for a day - probably a lot of work. Hope you get it straightenedd out without too much difficulty. ole joyful

Unfortunatley, wiper blade design is not standardized. There seems to a different fastening method for each manufacturer of blades. I'm not familar with the Honda original blades, so I'll give some general clues that I've found on my cars. If you have the usual 2-blade for the windshield, go to the passenger side and examine that wiper arm and blade. (That blade, when in the parked position, is nearer the edge of the car and easier to see.) Look at where the wiper blade assembly attaches to the wiper arm. (If you have a sport UTE, go look at the rear wiper arm. Its probably of the same design and is much easier to examine.) Does the end of the wiper arm end in a "U" shape commonly called the "J" type. If so, look for a small release button or protrusion. Push this down and push the wiper blade toward the shaft end of the wiper arm. The wiper blade assembly should slide from the end of the J shape. Then its's a matter of raising the wiper arm away from the windshield and fiddling with the blade until you find how it comes off. You may end up rotating the blade nearly upsidedown to get room to slide the j-hook out of the slot. Another type of wiper arm ends with a straight end with a hole in its end. The blade assembly stays on the arm by a pin or protrusion in this hole. This type releases by pushing down on a spring clip to push the protrusion out of the hole and then slide the assembly off the arm. A varation on this type has a small lever on the side of the blade assembly. Press this down to release. Another style has a small opening in the side of the blades assembly for insertion of a small tool like a screwdriver blade. The object of all of these is to push the spring loaded pin or protrusion out of the hole so the blade assembly can slide off. If the blade package is clear plastic, look to see if there is a folded instruction sheet inside. If you are sure that you have the correct replacement blade, open the package and retrieve the instruction sheet. It may illustrate your type of assembly. Wiper blades are available in two levels: one is the bare wiper blade itself, and the second is the complete assembly of the wiper blade plus its holder. Its best to purchase the entire assembly because of the many variations in design and the difficulty of putting a plain blade into the holder. Some designs require bending metal while others are not expected to be refilled.

Funny how small parts show up just when you need them to finish a project. I used the support parts of replacement wiper blades on a sculpture of a Preying Mantis Planter. The wiper parts are the grasping arms. Here is a picture of the planter with ribbons from the Nevada State Fair (Best of Show, Best of Class, and First Place in Division. Keep the parts who knows when you'll need them. Robert
