The wife's coupe` is sitting in my work space, my coupe` sits (I can never find that stinkin' accent grave' when I need it!) 90% of the time and whenever we go anywhere I use the W126.

Maybe during the summer break....

I notice you've been slacking off a bit also. Weather putting a crimp in your activities?
I went back to school at an advanced age too. It does take some getting used to again but I found it was good to take a break and actually look at what you are achieving. Pat yourself on the back once in a while - for me it was definitely more of a stress management exercise, not only because if you are older and wiser you feel you need to make school "pay" but also there's a certain amount of pressure 'cos you do know better! I'm convinced that a large part of the reason why the young 'uns do so well is because sometimes they just don't give a flying **** - they are relaxed - learning is easier if you are not stressed...

...any that lecture's now over!

Divorce is crimping activities over here. It'll come good in the end but at the moment I can only do little bits. I must actually get on with a little bit of welding on the W201. I'll bung up some pictures if it works out. If I just make holes you'll not hear from me again.
