->Okay, just venting, use the delete button, or if you find me 
->annoying, send back a note to ridicule me..
->
->First:
->It's friggin April. So what's with the -10C forecast (with 
->snow) for tomorrow. The only solace is that Jim and other 
->Rochesterians always have worse weather.
->
->Second:
->AAAARGH. Owning a VW in a small town just so sucks sometimes. 
->The new Cabby just needs to pass safety, which requires (to 
->my knowledge) the difficult and daunting problem of replacing 
->a headlight bulb. Whoopdeefrikkindoo. The daughter comes home 
->and I mention that I still have to do that and she says the 
->plastic part it goes into is broken. I'm thinking, yeah, I 
->know there is some damage to the grille, but that's no big 
->deal. NOPE> WRONG!!! It's the OTHER high beam, has this big 
->honking hole in it from a stone. Right where the word HELLA 
->used to be? Just air. Lovely. The local yard has exactly ZERO 
->VWs of any type in it. And I can't call the dealer, it's the 
->weekend, who needs parts on the weekend? SO nobody is in 
->parts till Monday. This after the one week down time over a 
->thrown belt, I mean, how hard does this simple stuff have to 
->be? ( and how can you ever get a car ready on a ten day
->permit?)
->
->Next option: So I phone the usual (two hours from here) cheap 
->source of OEM parts, and the guy who can even give me a price 
->isn't there till Monday, they don't stock them but they can 
->get them. But who knows how much $$$, I gotta wait to talk to 
->the guy Monday. AAAARGHHHH. Then I'll have to fly TDI 
->airlines to get there after work before they close.
->
->Option three is (the useless attempt to get parts at) 
->Canadian Tire. Someone said they have Bosch ones that will 
->fit. Yep, I'm still gonna do it, but they never even have 
->plugs. Just ask Daun's sister how hopeless they are...
->
->I can likely throw one of the MkI lamps in there, but I 
->figure I may as well get one that actually matches, it is a 
->nice car, and deserves it.
->
->Third:
->Even though the road may well FREEZE tomorrow, we've had 
->forty days and forty nights of rain. My road is so awful I 
->won't be driving a Rocco till May or so. I may buy a Range 
->Rover, this is safari style mud. And to add to my delight, my 
->new garage floor is sweating like a pig. One big layer of 
->water. Good for the cars too I bet.
->
->Okay, it's noon, so I can go find some Sleeman's. I'll cheer 
->up soon, honestly I will. I just need to rip around in a 16V, 
->and SOON. There really IS no better therapy.
->
->Cathy
->
->PS I realize that some of you have REAL car problems, so just 
->ignore me, 'k?
->And no Drew, the headache is not for sale.
