Word of the Day: Lock

Say it and i will scream. Loudly.
So, why Tuesday always ends up being my "Monday" is beyond me, but here it is. My car lock was sticking, so i got the old lube spray out, attached the little wand to the nozzle and sprayed the crap out of it. Or, more to the point, into it. When i was extricating the wand thing from the lock, a little piece broke off in the lock. No, i couldn't get it out. So, i took the door apart to take the lock out to bang on it to get the plastic out out. And? The faux screw thing on the backside of the lock broke off as i was unhooking it from the bit that connects the part you turn the key in to the part that moves to unlock the door (yes, i know the terms, but i am making it simpler to follow). So now the two things are no longer connected. Even if i could get the key in, it would do nothing. At that point, getting the plastic out seemed a waste of energy. And then? Oh, yeah, the rain started in again. Put the damn thing back together, went into the house and had a couple of drinks. Hey, it was noon atlantic time. Also listened to loud music. Therapeutic. This afternoon, after it has cleared again (if it clears again), i am moving the dead lock to the passenger's side and the good one to the driver's side. Darn it. The button on the door will still work. Not a problem on the passenger's side if the key doesn't. Annoying on the driver's side, though.
And how was your day??
