Hi Bill,

Well done... nothing beats hands-on and dirty. And you'llknow what to do the next it needs 
a bit of 'fixing!" --- and there *will* be a next time ;-))

In the late '40's and early '50s my dad was a lorry driver in the UK (trucker) and in those 
days the driver was expected to maintain his rig... which was lucky for me  <grin> because  
my school-free days were spent helping him, so I learnt how to do things with the tools of 
the day..

My first car was a beat-up 1934 Wolseley Hornet - I bought it in 1953 for 50 Pounds 
Sterling, and when I asked my Dad for help he said "You bought it - you better learn how to 
fix it!"
I think I said quite a few nasty words under my breath, but it's paid off for me many times 
since.

Keep digging, keep trying, keep learning...
The destination is worth the journey <GRIN>
