No work just yet

I still haven't found the opportunity to work on the Cobra. I am slowly winding down the regular springtime tasks and getting the house squared away for my wonderful 4-legged housemate.

I also had more Passat issues. Three more days at the dealership having them replace the thermostat that I thought (and told them before) might be bad. But it is all good. They got it fixed and it is working beautifully now; and they just charged me for the part, no labor. Then a few days later, I got a flat left rear tire, thanks to a stray screw from someplace. I saw the flat in the garage and fortunately was able to get it aired up well enough to make it to Dobbs. I ended up getting 4 new tires as I was about due anyway.

On one good note, Dan seemed okay with being out in the garage with me as I worked on the tire. Just a little skittish as I did things he did not expect, but when I turned on the terribly loud air compressor, he did not protest much at all. I was quite surprised at that, since he has gotten spooked once when we stopped in traffic next to a couple of very loud motorcycles, prompting him to lose bladder control when we got inside Baba's house just a minute or so later.
