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.
