In part, the last 2 days have seen me installing a new "long" front to
back brake line on my Westy. My first time doing this. Really started
cursing when I had to remove my nicely bent new line from regulator,
again, for the 2nd or 3rd time, carrrrefully starting the threads each
time...... Sheesh.

Though my expletives were mostly mumbled, but occasionally
"intensified" through increase of volume and diction, one thing that I
was told years ago.....

Save curse words for a special occasion. When you do use them,
pronounce them clearly and with volume. Much more useful that way.

Having said as much, I will mumble-cuss when doing such jobs on my Vanagon.  ;)
