Subject:Millennium-Proof Westy

Listies,

As I'm in the IT/telecomm business, I will be working over the New Year period;
night shifts in fact. Although I don't consider myself paranoid, I will have my
Westy outside the office, with a full diesel and propane tank, charged
batteries, full water tank, empty porta-potti, and lots of instant food in the
kitchen cabinets.

This should make me pretty self-sufficient for a few days, should push come to
shove. Is there anything I've overlooked (apart from lead-cladding the whole
thing to protect against nuclear accidents)? Is anyone else planning on using
their Westy as an emergency Y2k-shelter? Or you do you think I'm insane?
