Last night I went out with the car to see what the deal was with my ABS Light on my car coming on (it comes on only after I’ve driven the car a bit , stop and turn off the engine, then re-start after only a few minutes (eg. making a quick stop at a store or something). It does NOT come on if the car has been turned off for more than , say 10 minutes or so. Anyway, I left my glasses on top of the car when I got out the owner’s manual from the passenger side door, and took my glasses off as I looked at it (my “bifocal needs” problem). Then I drove away again, forgetting about the glasses. I looked all over last night (but it was getting dark, and so I couldn’t see well enough — no glasses to help with that). It was also raining.

This morning, around 7:30 I went out and walked the route around the block. About half way down a quarter mile stretch in our subdivision, there they were, all neatly folded up about a foot from the curb (they were on the passenger side on the roof, so they fell to the curb side of the road rather than the middle of the road). What a relief. Now I go to see what the deal is with the ABS light , and possibly/probably need a new set of brakes anyway (it’s about time from previous estimates of break pad wear). We’ll see.
