Yes, definitely glad you are still with us Dan. After having read your thread to my wife Judy this morning, I went into the garage and worked on getting my oil pan removed, cleaned up and prepared for re-installation. I spent several hours underneath the raider. Guess what I was thinking about the whole time I was down there. It was a really eerie feeling all day long. Judy kept coming in every few minutes getting things from the garage without saying anything.

It didn't dawn on me until her forth or fifth trip into the garage that she was checking in on me. It must have really shook her up after having read your thread to her. I've been in the garage all summer working on my 89 Raider or my 97 Montero. Little did I know that she was secretly worried about that very thing while we were under there. She and I talked about it some more today and that was when she revealed her fear to me.

By the way, she had a great big smile on her face when I came back in later in the afternoon and read aloud your update about the news on the Prius' flat tires. LOL. She said that's what he gets.
