    Shop Van Bracket Question

    Just wondering... What are the brackets at the level of the window bases and at the top of the van body used for? (I know...need pics!) They're shaped like a "V" with the open end faced up to slide something into from the top. I suspect they're either for some sort of awning bows or for...

    Deuce vs Stump

    Good thing I didn't take pics of pulling the azalea bushes out of the front yard with the shop van. They'd look kind of puny in comparrison. :)

    Haspin 07!!! lets get a move on it!!

    Steel Soldiers, Come on, come on, however you are! If you have to be the Virginia Column's "advance vehicle" in a civilian POV, that's hunky-dory by me.

    I'll place money on Bjorn using the left over lye soap from "Bjorn's Biodiesel" to remove the crud.

    Thermostat Housing Gasket

    I couldn't find a close match at my Napa store, so the counterman suggested I use an ink stamp to coat the face of the housing in ink (or paint, or whatever) and stamp it on thin cardboard (like for cereal boxes) and trim the non-inked areas. Saturn also has the real ones for $1.50.
