Anyhow, I was able to limp to work by doing a roadside patch up using a piece of wire, some electrical tape, and a bathtub drain stopper. I couldn't explain in words if I wanted to. I have arrived :) -- Thanks, Jeff '85 GL (Gertie) '90 Carat (Grover - the noble parts donor) '86 (We call this one Scrap) '78 Bus (Melissa) Patty's Bus |
