At least you remain in touch with your "Vanagon side"...  ;-P

Vanagon I bought a year ago and have let languish for nine months. The
battery was dead and I jumped it. It started after a couple
revolutions. I drove it for 20 miles on rough roads, revelling in
sitting up high and hanging my elbow out the window. I felt so at home.
I killed the engine when I got back in the driveway, and when I tried
restarting it, nothing. The battery is a goner. Dumb...

Man I should get off my butt and put in that 2003 EJ25 Subaru motor with
7000 miles I got. I should build the custom camper interior with all
the parts I've collected. I should finish the wiring harness. I should
do this, and I should that...

I should be grading papers and not dinking around with the vanagon...
