1) Manifold cracked on runner #4 - owner refused to brace the manifold, after I'd told him he had to. It's ------- 16 gauge 321, it is not thick wall bullshit.

2) Vacuum system needs to be cleaned up, it's a pile of spliced up spaghetti.

Dave B came down and did all the work to get the car idling and driving while I drank beer, since my laptop was down and I have gremlins in my OBD1-OBD1 conversion harness. So, now I have a nice semi-tuned basemap up to 8 psi from which to work with... should be cake. If Travis can come up with the literal pennies needed to patch everything up.

Can I get a Foowee-approved link to National Creative Frugality week?

"Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb nail. In the midst of this chopping sea of civilized life, such are the clouds and storms and quick-sands and thousandand-one items to be allowed for, that a man has to live, if he would not founder and go to the bottom and not make his port at all, by dead reckoning, and he must be a great calculator indeed who succeeds. Simplify, simplify. Instead of three meals a day, if it be necessary eat but one; instead of a hundred dishes, five; and reduce other things in proportion."

After reading all that, I think I'll change my sig line to "I hate everyone," too.
