I can hear Jon now: "Had I known when I created The DML, what I know
now..... what did I start!?"

Again - I should be able to get that time off work - being a part
timer... however the issue remains that its still 800 miles away. If I
don't have to stop every half hour to crawl under the hood to replace
something, if I get enough sleep... and leave on time... might be able
to do it.

heheheh - I was asked once, when regailing someone with the story of how
I sunk my truck, if the authorities had ever been summoned at one of
these little get togethers. heheheheeh

Again I find myself thinking about a half baked crazy ass scheme.
And... I *think* I can get Christine back out to The Homeland for
Daktoberfest. Since I can't start the modifications I have planned
until I aquire a large quantity of cash... I see no reason why I can't
get that truck running in the meantime. Biggest problem I see now is
solving whatever is causing this big ass oil leak. My gut is telling me
I did in the oil pan. I think I'll get her up on jackstands tomarrow.
