Ah yes, I'm familiar with RH. I'm using Mandrake 9.1 now. Been
thinking about checking out Plan 9 I've heard about.

Re #97: What model Veedub do you have, russ?
I can't say I'm fond of Volkswagen's philosophy of cooling system
design. I've never really gotten comfortable with the idea of plastic
jugs holding 15 psi at 200 degrees F.

Re #102: It's a 1985 Jetta GL, and still goes pretty nicely; I'm
trying to wear it out before I get rid of it, with a notable lack of
success thus far. Aside from the stress cracks (which appear to
have come from an impact), I've had no problem with the bottle - the
radiator and heater core are also half plastic, as on a great many
modern vehicles. Or at least the new ones are, I replaced them earlier.

My '82 diesel Vanagon still has the original 21 year old coolant bottle,
so I guess I really can't complain too much about the durability. They
are known for cracking (or, on rare occasions, exploding) at awkward
moments, though.

Does that mean you collected 50 butterflies, or did 50 butterfly
strokes?

invested five continuous hours with a partner of the law firm
representing this damn retirement community that is trying to
toss my mother out into the gutter.
we removed a substantial portion of the bad-faith rubble regarding
my mother's circumstance and appeared to create the fooundation for
a future (soon) agreement on living conditions.
finally, we are dealing with an adult, it would seem.
parachutes are in place regardless.

One thing I've wanted to do with my PC is video editing. To that end,
I hooked up a 120 gig SATA HD (M-O-U-S-EEEEEEE!), a Pinnacle DC-500
videocapture board, Premiere 6.0 and my Canon GL1 camcorder. I
captured three tapes of video and now the fun begins!

Found a few odd things in my storage locker, and was able to stack things a
bit better than they were.

Yesterday, I took a hacksaw to an iron plate welded onto the gatepost at
the Sailing Club. It used to be needed to support the gate when it was
closed, but the gate was replaced years ago. Now, the plate just made a
handy thing to open the side of a car, if the driver misjudged the turn.
So I removed it.
Today, I tore down and rebuilt part of the planter wall on the side of
the Sailing Club boathouse. It had been cinder blocks capped with rocks,
and now it's just rocks.
I also made progress in leaarning to windsurf. Didn't make a lot of
progress in actually sailing the board, but I got my feet properly placed,
for the first time, and so should do much better next time.

Windsurfing is hard. I've tried it a few times, since my dad went nuts for
it a few years ago. I suspect that at least part of my problems, though, had
to do with light and shifting winds, rather than lack of skill.

Got the intake manifold pulled off the Taurus, which makes it
feasible to clean out the EGR passage. (Now I know why it
costs so much to pay someone to do this job.)

Got the Taurus put back together and it seems to be working great.
(I'll never again buy a car where you have to pull the manifold
to change spark plugs.)

Not much. <sigh> Found my dining table. Now I have to decide what to pack up,
from the dining room, what to leave for whoever rents the house, and what
I really don't need.
How come, whenever you get set up to paint, the weather changes toward rain?
