I worked on my Vanagon yesterday. Still have not figured out if the oil on the side of the head was a spill from the installer or a leak from the head (inline-4). In between doing that, I experimented with a very un-Thanksgiving dish with un-Thanksgiving ingredients. During the day I got text on my phone of Happy Thanksgiving wishes both wanted and unwanted. I counted 21 messages which will cost me $0.15 each because I do not have a text messaging on my telephone service plan. By mid-day, my head was about to explode with un-Happy Turkey Day messages. I dreaded looking at my list mail for fear of seeing more there. To my relief, it was relatively clutter-free. =)

Thanks, Jim.
