Mission Complete!! I guess an old dog can learn a new trick. The old dog is tired though. I have to add, that the guys at Autozone have been great the last couple of days. Lot's of helpful tips on many things.
I think the old Jeep appreciates the attention - seems to perform better in every area, shifts better, steers better, even sounds better (in addition to the absence of the water pump sounds). I might have a "Christine" on my hands. Maybe she'll start shedding rust and start regrowing her skin.
You two are forming a bond. She obviously likes the intimacy.
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it. - Ursula Le Guin
