I just sent Wayne some money to help pay for the board.

On my trip it rained on us every day of the trip to and from SLC. It always seems to rain on my Parade!

Last year when it rained the windshield squirter's worked fine. This year, no joy in mudville. Most of the time it was not a big problem. On the trip home there was one point that we kept coming into areas where it had just finished raining. Lots of spray from other vehicles, no squirter's.

I checked the pump and it would not operate even with 12 volts directly to the pump. I pulled the pump and as I was trying to get one of the hoses off it broke the nipple off. It was no doubt the factory original pump so after 27 years and 145,000 miles I get a new pump. The old pump is locked up tight. I might be able to get it pumping again, but not even toothpaste will not fix a broken nipple.

The high pressure pump for the headlights is hidden in there somewhere. It seems to have a big leak. I will have to fix that as well. The joys of old cars.
