Memorial Day, on a bright and sunny afternoon I'm off to my daughters  
for a cook out. I'm in Ol'Blu. and about halfway into the trip I hear  
a strange sound and notice that my steering wheel is slippery. Then I  
feel and see hot oil on my leg and on the transmission tunnel. Oh joy!  
I reach under the dash to the temporary oil pressure gauge that I  
plumbed in to replace my regular gauge. I tried pinching off the  
copper line to the gauge, but that didn't work so I ended up driving  
about 5 mile home holding the remains of the plastic line that I used  
to connect to the gauge to try and slow the leak.
I lost about 2 quarts on oil, and coated the interior and myself with  
hot oil.

The "cluster gauge" and tach are still about 35 miles south of San  
Francisco, where they are undergoing a "cosmetic restoration" where  
they've been the past 3 months.

Oils well that ends well.

The road goes on forever ...
