vanagonitis

Took my Vanagon to the shop last friday to have someone else troubleshoot it as I don’t have a place to do so or the time right now. The Mechanic called me back in short order and told me the ECU was bad and that he could order a replacement. He ordered it on Monday and it still isn’t here…I want my van back, I miss it. I also want the weather to get better so I can work on my other van (‘85). The previous owner said it had a bad ECU…I have yet to even try to start it as it has been sitting for two years so I need to check all fluids and change the oil and gas (if there is any) first.

Here they are. The gold one is the Daily Driver and the blue one is the project.

“ A person who is beginning to sense the suffering of life is, at the same time, beginning to awaken to deeper realities, truer realities. For suffering smashes to pieces the complacency of our normal fictions about reality, and forces us to come alive in a special sense—to see carefully, to feel deeply, to touch ourselves and our worlds in ways we have heretofore avoided. Ken Wilber, quoted in “The Thorn and the Rose,” compiled and edited by Anthony Williams. From ARCS in our new Spring Issue: “Suffering.” (via parabola-magazine)

Ice Storm Midwest

Another year, yet another ice storm here in southwest MO.

To be fair, it isn’t really that bad just yet but if it keeps up like it is we will be in the same position as years past.

…good before bed.

To those who follow me here I have not been updating recently due because lately I have been having a hard time focusing. Don’t fret, there will be more photos.
