Ah, yes, the old "plug the vaccuum leak with whatever you have handy" trick. 
Old, trusted, and honorable. 


Welcome to the roadside bailing-wire-and-spit fraternity!

Subject: Hitting a Milestone - sort of

I have hit some sort of repair on the fly milestone - I'm not sure if that
is good or bad :)

I was having some major problems with Gertie today ont he way to work (seems
to happen occasionally when it's real wet - I have my ideas).

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 :)
