Subject:Mellow Yellow running sweetly

With rebuilt transmission and differential.

Trip from Bend, Oregon, to Newport, Oregon, then up the coast to
Astoria, Oregon. See

It's one thing to run into vehicular troubles when soloing. Quite
another when one's spouse is along. So far, no troubles.

Note for the archives: we drove across the Cascades on the way to the
coast, through rain, heavy at times. I applied Rain-X the morning before
departure. The rain just beaded up and hastily crawled off the
windshield. I only needed to run the wipers a few times, mainly when
behind something that threw off a lot of spray, like a semi. I noticed
that other cars were running their wipers full time, at the highest
setting.

Me likee.
