William wisely ]advised the use of an extra pair of eyes/hands/ears/etc. Brent sagely ]mentioned that, with Experience and Time, the Dark side of the Force can ]be banished and replaced with Limited Confidence and Reckless Abandon. ] ]my solution? always have a second car ... that runs. :) this way, you can ]still go for a replacement part to the one that just rolled into the sewer ]drain or ran off in the dog's mouth. Or, better yet, at least one motorcycle. Insurance is $40.50 per year and it gets 48 mpg, plus it only cost me $1000 seven years ago when it had but 4000 miles on it. No spare car can beat those numbers, and no non-exotic spare car can stay with a Suzuki GS650. I go for my spare parts REAL QUICK! -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Jerry Dunham, MSE hoosier@rider.cactus.org (512)244-8598 Tandem Computers, Inc. dunham@mpd.tandem.com Integrity Systems Division dunham_jerry@tandem.com The purpose of time is to keep everything from happening at once....
