C.M.,

I'm almost "germaniac" about due dilligence prior to a "planned repair".
"Research, research, research." "The Boy scout Motto".
"Semper Paratus" (the Coast Gard motto- always ready.)

Sometimes the Automobile just ***** with you unmercifully,or so it
seems!

"Retiring to assess and re-invigorate does not equal defeat!"

Too many times I've worked past the "Gloming" into night with a "Flash"
in my teeth AND regretted it in the light of a brand new day.
