First time (I think??) in 14 years I had to pull over on the road with a problem in my Vette.  Last night I replaced the exhaust manifold gaskets and removed the alternator for space and messed around with the heater hoses.  Tooling along about 75 I look in the rear view and see a ton of white smoke out the rear and then check the temp. gauge and see it pegged past 250!  Of course my cell phone is dead and I have my 5 year old in the car headed to his 3rd day of school.  So now I am going to be in trouble with his mom as well if I don't get this thing moving.  Raise the hood and find water everywhere, check the hoses, they're OK.  Look over and see a shredded belt wadded up in the corner next the the radiator.  Time to see if I have what I need to fix it.  I have always carried a few tools and I thought I had an old belt in the rear compartment somewhere.  I did.  I also had a new one.  Should have put it on sooner.  It would have been easier but we added the power steering to this car two months ago and that belt has to come off to get the alt. belt on.  It is hot down there as well as tight not to mention I am standing on I-35 with lots of traffic rushing by.  Got it replaced and we get back on our way.  Got the boy to school on time and came to work. I think I need some hand cleaner.
