Hey, I almost divorced my Vanagon tonight. AGAIN.

I have been learning to do the work myself.

But,

I swear.

Between the ArmourAll from dash board, (from PO) getting on my hands
and helping tools/parts slip from my grip, to the recent brain torment
over trying to learn how to properly use wiring diagrams, and install
and aux. battery, I almost got the divorce. AGAIN

But......

I really look forward to a trip down the coast this month. AND the van
is great for just that kind of thing. AND I really enjoyed the last
trip. So........

I can't get a divorce.

I'll just continue to:

"find the healthiest way possible to lead an unhealthy Vanagon lifestyle".

Neil.
