Heh.

Beer was certainly a factor. .... in that it was what caught this
woman's attention!      ;^)    Well that and a nice looking Slate Blue
Westy!

Well, it's a super busy parking lot with lots of bad distracted
drivers. I saw no reason in attempting a bump start at that time. When
the tow guy finally showed up, things had died down a little. I told
tow truck guy we could bump start it. Hooked up the truck, "bumpity
bump" no problem. Well no problem except that I was super LOW on fuel!
Then I had to use a screwdriver to open the gas cap  (had to keep van
running, ignition key opens gas cap)  so I could fill it with gas!

Oh ya. More irony. That dang NEW remote starter switch is pooched. I
had the where-with-all to test it on my DMM before using it. Even
tested it using the battery and a known good test light. Nope. No
good!

A day of irony and strange coincidences!

Neil.
