I *do* consider myself lucky on that score, and hopeful that there are no
long-term effects. I'm wondering if I should be pre-emptive on the coolant
pipe inserts, rather than let them fail before I take action.

However, I also discovered another casualty in the bus, first noted whilst
driving around San Diego. My brake booster, or a connection near there, has
developed a leak. I'll try to pinpoint the leak this evening, but my brakes
now feel like the ones on my old '70 Mustang...fully manual. I'll have to
fix this soon, or I'll have one grossly overdeveloped set of quadriceps on
my right thigh. During the voyage, there was always too much noise to hear
it, but now I hear the distinctive hissing when I even barely touch the
brake pedal.

It's always something, isn't it?
