Fixing a busted alternator on the side of I-80 took me 6 hours instead of 1

I pulled over near Des Moines last month when my truck started losing power. The alternator swap should have been a quick job, but the mounting bracket was rusted so bad I had to cut two bolts off with a hacksaw. Took me from 2 PM until almost 8 PM to get it done out there in the cold. Has anyone else had a simple repair turn into a whole day project?

Did you at least get to watch the sunset while you were out there... or was it just cold and miserable like my alternator adventure?

Did you at least have a warm coat?
