I over looked the simple things just last weekend. Believed the plug wires 
were good and one end was completely eaten by corrosion. 

Looking forward to Thanksgiving "break" as then will hopefully will have a 
12mm flare wrench as have couple days off. Then, be back burning oil, which
doesn't have the issues with bends. ;P

Thank Obama for all the construction, as we all need better roads, though not
sure it is creating enough jobs... Around here, 95 percent of it is local 
roads. All the major and some minor North-South roads are down to one or two 
lanes and 25M.P.H. speed limit, if by some miracle traffic allows it. The
East-West roads haven't been hit as hard, with Main Street the worst. 
Extending the light rail east so us poor folks can ride it all the way to 
Phoenix. Woot! That means I would only have to drive the Squareback a mile 
or so to class! Plus, could huff it or drive to the station, for flights!
Bet this extension will really reduce pollution and help reduce global 
warming.


Thank you,
