Appropos of nothing (but I'm just whinging ... )

We didn't have a broken screen but a broken glass.  Along with the
back-most windows on both sides.  (Along with about a dozen more
vehicles' windows ...)  Blimmin' brats ... ~~~>-:(

Anyway.  The glass folks had a "provider" for a replacement window
assembly for the sliding door.  Only trouble is, Simon could just
barely open it and I couldn't even nearly open it!

So we went to our local Save-Obsolete-Bits-From-The-Trash.  Paid
beaucoup bucks ($150.00!) for a sliding-door window assembly from an
'87.  Thing is, it wasn't a Westfalia window assembly so it didn't
quite match ours.

In the attempt to keep our van worth more than $6000 resale price, we
went back to the glass folks with the Westfalia-shaped window and told
them to "fix it so we could open it!".  Which, in the end, they have
done.  :-)
